    It looked to me like LSC got over-confident because I don't think Tank seriously hurt him. But Davis winding up like that and landing flush, I am not sure many fighters could take that shot, even iron-chinned ones.

    My take from the fight. Tank is still to easy to hit. He has trust in his power to bail him. There were stretches of him getting fustrated too. He has been in against guys that can't bang and smaller guys at 130 and 135. If someone like Teo landed those punches that LSC landed it would be lights out for Davis.

    He still just looking for that huge uppercut. So far its worked.

    Nope, I just remember Zepeda almost knocking Baranchyk into a grave. That was brutal but it wasn't 'KO of the Year'.

    Juice & weight bullying, Santa Cruz spent most of his career at bantamweight and super bantamweight.. Davis' head is bigger than Mikey Garcias.. but all we'll here now is what a monster he is etc.. looked like a LWW versus a gangly FW.. he'll get outworked at some point Davis.. put him in with Lopez or Taylor.. role reversal

    Great finish from Tank but he got hit a lot and you gotta wonder how he’d do against another power puncher his own size.

    Cough cough.... Teo Lopez.

    I thought it was pretty clear that Davis felt LSC's power and decided he could take it, so shipped some punches to set up that shot. He's not fighting like that against Lopez.

    Again I thought it was apparent that Tank was shipping them to finish the fight.

    There is a case to be made for both, also Povetkin was on the floor about a minute before he landed his shot, was in serious trouble.

    I won't argue really, personally I think I prefer Povetkins, but this was special too, we can't deny that, we have to be honest.

    Imagine the viewer he would have of a brutal KO. KO of the year candidate too if not the KO of the year. This was dumb of Floyd to make it PPV.
