    Watched his fight with the Japan-based American Charlie Ota a couple of days ago and I thought Davidson looked decent. He certainly didn't deserve a split decision (Aussie judge, tut tut ;)), but he was close to winning the fight in the 1st round when he floored Ota heavily. If it had happened 20 seconds earlier then I have no doubt he would have scored the stoppage.

    Anyway, he seemed to have some nice skills - a good jab, movement etc. - good power and a decent chin, but he just seems lazy (at least in this fight).

    This was the first fight I had seen of him, so was just wondering what your thoughts were of Davidson as you guys no doubt know more about him :good

    You could say he's one of our best prospects ATM.

    His strength is his double jab and speed...he throws most punches with authority...nice straight left as well.

    I would not call him lazy however I did miss the last fight.:good

    How did you score the fight?

    I wasn't really scoring it, but I wouldn't have gave him more than 4 rounds I don't think. The two scorecards for Ota seemed about right IMO.

    He can certainly come back again I feel :good

    Maybe he needs more work or had an off night....maybe it was a step too far...I guess time will tell.

    Lazy is harsh but perhaps pair.

    Certainly at times has that laconic, just cruising along appearance, particularly in a couple of earlier wins of his I saw.
