For whatever reason or simply to get under the skin of Davin Haney, Ryan Garcia shared a footage of a sparring between Davin Haney (his April 20 opponent) and previous opponent Gervonta Davis.

The video was obviously a part of a longer video of the sparring. The video showed Davis, not only dominating but punishing Haney with power shots to the head and body. In my estimate, those punches that Haney took from Davis really hurt and in fairness, Haney was standing.

I don't know how this action will impact Garcia. Maybe no one will allow him to watch sparring session or share any sparring footage with him :). So, guys you be the judge if this is ethical to leak sparring footage like this.

It's a good policy, in my opinion to don't allow filming in a sparring session. At my first glance, I feel something is wrong about in uploading it. What do you think?

Gervonta Davis knocks out Rolando Romero in round 6 with a left hand on Saturday night for their world lightweight bout at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Davis remained undefeated and improved his record to 27-0-0, with 25 KO's.

Normally in boxing the bigger man beats the smaller man. Here in this fight between Gervonta Davis (25-0-0, 24 KOs) and Isaac Cruz, it looks like not only Davis the bigger, he's also the taller and has longer reach. If being taller and longer (reach) is our definition of what we called the bigger fighter... then it favors Davis. 

Well, what about who's the heavier fighter? Or shall I say who's more comfortable at fighting at 135 pounds limit.

Interestingly, If you look at the records of these two fighters, I observed that Davis started early in his career at 126 pounds. Whereas Cruz started at 130 pound division and never fought below 130 pounds. In fact, the lightest he weighted in was at 132 pounds against Diego Magdaleno in October 2020. Magdaleno weighed 134 and 3/4 pounds and Cruz knocked Magdaleno out in the first round. 

It seemed to me that Cruz (22-1-1, 15 KOs) is comfortable fighting in the lightweight division.

Now, with the above observation, the question is who's the stronger or powerful puncher? If your bet is Davis punches harder than Cruz, then the question is will Cruz handles it? What about Cruz's power? Can Davis handles it? Hehehe, all questions remains to be seen on Sunday night at the Staples Center, Los Angeles. 

My prediction is that I think Davis is more skilled and defensively sound than Cruz. I noticed that Cruz's crouching stance although his hands are tucked tight on his chin but this posture is susceptible to Davis's signature left upper cuts. Tank KO 6 Cruz.
