Toughest Victory Yet For Gervonta "Tank" Davis!

The Mayweather Promotions superstar, Gervonta "Tank" Davis said in the final press conference that Isaac "Pitbull" Cruz would possibly bring out all his boxing skills to win this fight. Davis (26-0, 24 KOs) remained undefeated with a tougher than expected unanimous decision victory over Isaac Cruz (22-2-1, 15 KOs) of Mexico, on Sunday night. Two judges scored it 115-113 with a third having it 116-112 for the Baltimore, Maryland native. 

Cruz came out in the opening round fighting the only way he knew he would have a chance to win, coming forward the entire round with nonstop pressure. He landed a few good shots late in the round that made Davis know it was going to be an all out war. 

Davis adjusted well from the pressure of Cruz by connecting on a few blistering counter uppercuts to gain Cruz's attention. Cruz proved to have a good chin throughout the contest as Davis continued to land the counter uppercuts. 

Cruz kept coming forward landing more shots to the body of Davis. He switched it up to the head by landing a pair of good left hooks. Davis continued to land those powerful counter uppercut. 

As the rounds added up Davis started unloading right hooks to Cruz's chin. Davis clearly looked to be winning the rounds by using his speed to beat Cruz to the punch. Cruz wasn't applying the same pressure as he was in the early rounds, but Davis applied his own pressure by using his jab to set up more uppercuts along with hooks. Late in the fight Davis seems to be favor his left arm only to reveal the he did hurt it while landing a punch.

Davis: 

"I hurt my hand, so I couldn't get him out of there," said Davis, a southpaw who barley threw a left hand over the final two rounds. "I was throwing down and I hit him on top of the head. I messed it up."
