Leo Santa Cruz showed up to the Alamodome intending to throw down with one of boxing’s scariest knockout artists.
Gervonta Davis responded in kind and delivered the type of dramatic ending that fans crave.
The 9,000 or so socially distanced fans in attendance in San Antonio, Texas, witnessed an explosive main event filled with non-stop action as Santa Cruz and Davis engaged in a firefight. Santa Cruz looked good early and won the first two rounds on two of the judges’ scorecards. But Davis stuck to his game plan and in the sixth round connected on a surefire Knockout of the Year contender with an uppercut for the ages.
