Why Bet on Gervonta Davis
Davis (25-0, 24 KOs) has stopped his last 16 opponents, including Mario Barrios in 11 rounds in a junior welterweight fight this past June.
For Davis, his new opponent doesn’t bring a huge difference in style than what he was anticipating.
“Rolly” and Cruz are both solid opponents that are hungry and will look to take Davis out, which falls right into his game plan.
Cruz has more composure and still brings the KO power.
We have seen Davis down on the judge’s scorecards multiple times in fights.
However, once he knows it getting late or sees his opponent is an injury he knows when to pounce.
Why Bet on Isaac Cruz
Cruz (22-1-1, 15 KOs) also is on an impressive run.
The aggressive Mexican is 17-0-1 since he suffered his only loss early in his career.
He’s coming off a unanimous-decision victory over Francisco Vargas in June.
He is an orthodox stance fighter and while he is known for his power; four of his past five wins have been by decision.
Cruz has been dubbed the Mexican Mike Tyson, after being inspired by Tyson’s power and style.
Now, this is Cruz’s chance to shine as a late replacement fighter against a game “Tank” Davis.
Final Betting Analysis: Gervonta Davis vs. Isaac Cruz
First of all, props to Davis for taking this fight as it should be more close than the betting sites are suggesting.
We should expect both boxers to bring the fire here, with Cruz being a live dog.
If Davis doesn’t take his opponent seriously he could be outboxed or even hurt in the later rounds.
Our betting pick is still with “The Tank” Davis and we believe he will go to score a late KO.
