AI GeneratedTrevante Davis secures a knockout victory over Leo Santa Cruz in a high-intensity bout. While Santa Cruz utilized a disciplined jab and aggressive pressure to control portions of the fight, Davis relied on his defensive training and a devastating left uppercut. Despite Santa Cruz's resilience and ability to push Davis back, a sudden, unseen power shot in the sixth round ended the match.
You received the instructions, protect yourself, give me a clean fight, good luck
And there's a counter, left uppercut by Davis
So much
And Alexander Cruz wants to establish the jab
Yes he does, he throws 33 jabs per round normally, lands 7
Whether he'll be as much of a fighting puncher in this match early remains to be seen
Amir you've been in the ring twice with Santa Cruz, you trained to face Davis
What are you picking up early on?
I feel like Santa Cruz is trying to stay disciplined with that jab
Trying to work his jab and work backwards a bit
He's got to turn Davis though to his left
And not extend the jab because when he does that I already saw early on
That Davis counter punches with that left
Yeah that left uppercut has been there, Santa Cruz goes upstairs
You know the combination punching with Santa Cruz can't push Davis back
And that will be interesting to see, Davis doesn't normally fight going backwards
Again, Davis winding up with that left uppercut
Already blood on the face of real Santa Cruz
Bridge of his nose it looks like
There's a right hand, a right hook behind the head
Santa Cruz comes back with a right, bounced off Davis Glove
He's a pressure fighter in this fight
He's pressuring the bully that Santa Cruz is used to
Being the bully pushing the fighter back
But now we see Davis picking his punches
And Santa Cruz at moments, he does that also
Davis off to a quick start of course
Apparently made way fairly easily
Maybe confident about going into deep waters
Remember Santa Cruz said that Davis is dangerous for the first 6 rounds
And then begins to fade
And that's where Santa Cruz wants to bring Davis
Is into the deep of waters
Santa Cruz delivering the jab trying to split the guard
Leads with the right hand
Putting pressure on Davis early in round 2
Intriguing, you know already Leo Santa Cruz
You can get the feeling he can push Davis back in this fight
Will that be a problem for him?
He's landing some nice punches
The narrative coming in was that Santa Cruz was the smaller guy
We saw it the way in
He had added muscle and that does not seem to be the case
Against definitely a more compact, harder puncher
But Santa Cruz is not the smaller guy in this fight
Santa Cruz turned 32 in August
So the youth is on the side of Davis
Misses, just misses with that counter left uppercut
That has been there for him
Yeah, you feel that's gonna be an important weapon for Davis
He's trying very hard to get it in
He has to be careful throwing it from too far out
Countered by Santa Cruz
Just past the midpoint of round 2
A compelling confrontation
And already so much
Spent 15 weeks in Las Vegas at the Mayweather Boxing Gym
Said that he would like to hold all of his camps there
Because of the lack of distractions and the ability to focus
But Santa Cruz now
And it's Santa Cruz putting on pressure
It's a combination punch against Santa Cruz
When he is at his best
Those combinations flow
But there's that left uppercut from Davis
Davis timing that left uppercut
Countered
Blessed up through 2 rounds
Trying to land that power left hand
A big power punch
And that's the thing that Santa Cruz has to really be careful of
Because Davis can land that shot and hurt you
Santa Cruz wants to keep Davis corralled in the corner
But there's a counter left from Davis
Allows him to escape
Santa Cruz taking small steps
And there's a left hook
Again the left hand missed with the right uppercut
Davis starting to use the jab
And he has a good jab
It's an underused punch sometimes for him
But it is effective
And Santa Cruz's twitch
Signed up for a twitch account
Yet inquiring minds want to know
Left hook by Santa Cruz
Another left hand
And Santa Cruz digging to the body
Meanwhile Davis looking for the angle for that uppercut
You don't always see Davis in that kind of defensive posture
That he's in with his hands really high
While you're working with Floyd Mayweather
You better learn defense
And there's Santa Cruz through the right
And Davis now loading up again with the left uppercut
This has been a very, very important weapon
The right hook getting in there
But then here he comes with that uppercut on the inside
I'll tell you what
Santa Cruz is taking some big punches
Davis puts in a great switch
Down the middle, still misses the jab
But he's got it now
Corruption from the crowd here at the Alamo
Doing this main event delivering already
He'll need to re-break hook by Davis
Is this the right strategy for Santa Cruz?
And even when he doesn't throw
You can see he's ready to throw
Double jab
Then the left hand downstairs by Davis
Avoids those punches from Santa Cruz
And again stabs Santa Cruz in the belly with the left
There's a jab to the midsection by Davis
Davis leaning on his front foot
High guard both of them
Double, triple jab by Santa Cruz
As he tries to move forward
Davis moving to his left
Into the power alley of Santa Cruz
Leo has to keep touching him with that jab
And have Davis be thinking
Davis crouching down
He'll like to crouch down
Shoot counters that his opponents rarely see coming
We've seen that on occasion tonight
And that left hand is just ready to be uncoiled
Ready to spring out
There's a lead right hook by Davis
One of the weapons that Santa Cruz has found in this fight
And he wants to get back to is his own left hook
Which is not normally his money punch
But he's kind of found a home for it
They better hope that that's the case
But he is doing some fantastic work here at Santa Cruz
They both are chucking leather
And a mark now, a mouse beginning to form
Under the right eye of Trevante Davis
So they are throwing punches and punches here in the sixth
I was just going to say, Leo Santa Cruz do that now
Don't be ridiculous
There's a left hand by Davis
Under a minute left in the sixth
Davis now pulling
Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz standing there
Taking the lead
And comes in to letting stuff here in the sixth round
Trevante Davis
Leo Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz
And in that round
In which Santa Cruz has done so much good work
And there's that left uppercut
A counter punch there
It was devastating
And it was there
The whole fight
Some big ones landed
But none like that
It's the punch that you don't see
That does the most damage
And that punch came out of nowhere
Leo Santa Cruz did not see that uppercut coming
And just took him out
But again, you got to give credit to Leo Santa Cruz
He did something that I was even, you know, shocked
Which was stand toe-to-toe
Against a bigger puncher than Trevante Davis
He was able to do that for a good portion of his fight
And they felt that
If he'd gotten through these rounds
He was going to do well in the second half of the fight
But it was not to be
The power of Davis too much for him
And the mentor
Floyd Money Mayweather
Reacting
Davis' 23rd knockout
The WBA Super Featherweight and Lightweight
Champion of the World
Trevante
