Does Santa Cruz stand any real chance against Davis?

Leo's best shot is Davis being extremely drained.

 

List of ways LSC wins this fight:

- Tank can't put put Leo away and Leo outworks him to a good decision.
- Tank can't put Leo away, wins but Leo gets a bad decision. (stranger things have happened)
- Tank comes in super drained and over-trained, can't put Leo away, gasses trying, and Leo stops him on his feet late in the fight.
- Tank comes in with distractions, looking past Leo, with an injury or illness, or just has an off night against an elite smaller fighter.
- Tank gets DQ'd for low blows, hitting after the bell, hitting while down, etc. (hey it could happen)

Everyone always envisions each fighter coming in ready and performing to expectations. I'm always thinking about the intangibles and variable factors. Yes tank is bigger, stronger, younger. But does Leo have *any* chance? How can anyone who's watched boxing for any period of time doubt it? He's a live dog.

 

Definitely has a change.

Its a 70/30 kind of fight.

Davis should win, but LSC certainly wont be easy

 

Davis by competitive decision.

 

It’s all going to depend on which Tank shows up. The one that went 12 rnds with a one leg Gamboa or a focus and prepared one.if he makes weight fine and put in a good camp I think his power will be to much for LSC. LSC just get hit way to much and smaller fighter has hurt him. LSC also lacks power. He hurts you from accumulation. If he can’t get Davis to respect his punching power it could be a quick night.

I hope LSC proves me wrong .
