Fight Odds for Leo Santa Cruz vs. Jervonta Davis scheduled on October 25th
Leo Santa Cruz, a Mexican boxing sensation, is in peak physical condition and has moved up to the 130-pound division, aiming to conquer the fifth weight class. His opponent, Gervonta Davis, has vacated the WBA Super champion title in the lightweight division and won the WBA Regular belt in the same division.
Santa Cruz, known for his high speed, long combinations, and adaptability to any style, might lead by points against Davis. However, he is at risk of catching a precise shot from the power-packed Davis.
Santa Cruz has an impressive record, having defeated notable boxers such as Carl Frampton, Abner Mares, Kiko Martinez, Christian Mijares, Victor Terrazas, and Eric Morel. Davis, standing at 168 cm with a reach of 171 cm, boasts a professional career of 23 fights, all of which he has won, with 22 of those being knockouts. Notable scalps on Davis' record include Yuriorkis Gamboa, Jose Pedraza, and Hugo Ruiz.
Interestingly, Santa Cruz has never faced a boxer who hits much harder than him. His father and trainer, Jose Santa Cruz, reportedly did not allow him to fight Jermall Charlo in the 135-pound category.
Bookmakers are confident that Davis will emerge victorious, with odds of 1.28 for Davis' victory and 4.04 for Santa Cruz's victory. However, the prediction suggests that Davis has not yet reached his peak physical condition, and Santa Cruz, who has been a world champion in four weight classes and has been performing at the highest level for nearly eight years, might capitalise on this.
If Santa Cruz defeats Davis, he will confirm his title as a worthy world champion in the lightweight division. The highly anticipated match between these two formidable opponents is set to take place on October 25th, 2021. For specific historical betting predictions about this match, one would typically refer to sportsbooks or boxing news sources from around that time.
Sports enthusiasts might anticipate a competitive fight as Leo Santa Cruz, known for his boxing skills, takes on the power-packed Gervonta Davis. Santa Cruz, with his notable victories over boxers like Carl Frampton and Eric Morel, could challenge Davis in the ring, despite Davis' impressive knockout record against fighters like Yuriorkis Gamboa and Jose Pedraza.
