If you were smart enough to take Davis to win by stoppage in the ninth, you made $800 on a $100 bet. If you had Davis winning by stoppage, you made a $25 profit on a $100 wager. Ryan Garcia in April is still a strong possibility. 9 had rung and it took a few seconds to figure out what was happening, Davis officially won by TKO9. UPDATE: Though Garcia performed well throughout most of the fight-I had it even on my scorecard through eight rounds-Davis badly hurt him in the eighth round and Garcia failed to come out of the corner before the ninth after telling his corner that he couldn’t see out of his right eye.īut since the bell for round No. Say Davis by stoppage in the seventh round. We know Davis is an elite talent is Garcia? When Davis lands a clean shot, I’m not sure Garcia can handle it. But Davis is entrenched at 135 pounds, while Garcia is moving up in weight for this fight. It’s possible that Garcia, like Cruz did, could have success in the first few rounds. Some observers this week have compared Garcia to Isaac Cruz, at least in the way that they both could make life difficult for Davis early in the fight by out-boxing him and frustrating him. This will be his third title defense since he won it from Yuriorkis Gamboa in December 2019. Davis (25-0) will defend WBA (regular) Lightweight Championship in this bout. ![]() Whether those two big wins show he’s capable of upsetting Davis, well, that’s hard to know (though I wouldn’t bet on it). Welcome to the live results blog of the Gervonta Davis vs Isaac Cruz Showtime Boxing PPV on December 5, 2021. Though Garcia (16-0, 10 KOs) was basically an unknown at this point one year ago, he stamped himself as a championship-level fighter by upsetting undefeated prospect Chris Colbert on short notice and then knocking off Roger Gutierrez for a junior lightweight belt. But there’s no doubt that Davis is one of the strongest punchers in the game, knocking out Leo Santa Cruz, Yuriorkis Gamboa and Jose Pedraza. As always, with a big-time boxing card, there are certainly plenty of bets to be made. That would change if he beat Ryan Garcia in April. Gervonta Davis looks to continue his winning ways as he takes on Issac Cruz on Sunday night for the WBA 'Regular' lightweight title from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Hector Luis Garcia recordsĮven after 27 fights and plenty of hype, Davis (27-0, 25 KOs) still doesn’t have a signature victory on his resume. If you’d rather do an over-under wager, over 7.5 rounds is -125 and under 7.5 rounds is -110. But honestly, I don’t like those odds either. You could go with Davis to win by stoppage in rounds 7-12 for +105 or by stoppage in rounds 5-8 at +175. Avoid the money line, and I wouldn’t even bother with the -400 odds on the Davis by KO/TKO prop bet. If you like Davis, it won’t be easy to find a ton of value. I like that +1200 for Garcia to win by decision even better. I actually wouldn’t mind you putting a little money on Garcia, especially if you think there’s a 12% or better chance he can pull off the upset. Davis is a -1600 favorite (bet $1,600 to win $100), while Garcia is a +750 underdog (win $750 to win $100). ![]() ![]() Hector Luis Garcia oddsĭespite Garcia’s talent and recent big wins, the oddsmakers have still made him a longshot.
