Isaac Cruz VS Gervonta Davis 2 - Cruz DESTROYS Gervonta This Time?!

Added: 2026-05-12

[00:00:00]Isaac Pitbull Cruz has been on a tear lately. Ever since he went the distance with Gavant Tank Davis in 2021, he's been a man on a mission. Romero hits the shot for three.

[00:00:13]>> He didn't just sit back. He went out and dominated guys like Yurio Gamboa, Ry Romero, and Omar Salido.

[00:00:20]>> TRIED TO >> watching him land those heavy combinations and that signature left hook. It is obvious what he's doing is making it impossible for Tank to ignore him.

[00:00:30]>> He's the type of guy that's just going to pressure, relentless pressure, body work, just >> Cruz is basically cleaning out the division to prove he deserves that rematch. And at this point, he's not just asking for another shot at Davis.

[00:00:41]He's earned it. But before we find out exactly how a rematch could go, we'll first have to take a look at how the first fight between the two went. In December 2021, Alba Isaac Pitbull Cruz stepped in to face Javvante Davis on short notice after Rolando Romero withdrew from his WBA lightweight title fight. Cruz brought a raw aggression unlike anything Davis had faced. While Tank relied on calculated power, the pitull brought non-stop pressure and zero fear. It was a classic clash of rhythms with Cruis's chaotic foam booth war style going up against tanks elite precision. The world watched to see if brute force could finally break the champion. You ready in February 2019?

[00:01:44]your feet just like that.

[00:02:04]Heat.

[00:04:21]I'm going to take I'm going take already as you pointed out for 10atch 145 rebounds We begin round six by throwing it. There's a sniper like straight left hand.

[00:05:08]>> Let him go, Tank. Let him go. All right.

[00:05:10]Stop. Stop. Nope.

[00:05:12]his own punching and Cruz is punching one shot at a time.

[00:05:22]>> You're good.

[00:05:34]>> Work out of that, guys. Work out of it.

[00:05:46]Nice.

[00:08:00]Stop.

[00:08:23]It's fascinating.

[00:08:30]Heat.

[00:08:53]Heat.

[00:09:06]Though Cruz would lose by a close decision, he proved that even at a young age of 22, he had immense potential. And with a solid streak of wins and high octane performances, a rematch with Javant was inevitable. So, the Pitbull started his hunt. On December 6th, 2025, the super lightweight division took center stage as Isaac Cruz met Lamont Roach Jr. for the interim WBC title.

[00:09:31]This wasn't just another fight. It was a highstakes collision between two men at a career crossroads. Cruz entered the ring with a chip on his shoulder.

[00:09:39]Desperate to reclaim his status after dropping his belt earlier in the year.

[00:09:43]He brought that terrifying pressure that makes opponents feel like the walls are closing in. Across from him, Roach arrived with massive momentum. Moving up in weight and carrying the confidence of a fighter who felt he'd already proven he could handle the world's best. While Crews looked to overwhelm and destroy, Roach relied on sharp counters and veteran timing to diffuse the bomb. It was a classic test of whether raw force could triumph over elite boxing IQ.

[00:10:10]>> 40 lb division class. Incredible.

[00:10:15]>> Oh, he's swinging this time. And he said, "Look, we know that pit ball is a pural movement, but if you box mo roach told us one thing, no one's going to walk straight forward into me with no head movement and not pay for it."

[00:10:27]>> Roach got us has to start setting up with the jab.

[00:10:30]>> Gravity that crouch very reminiscent of low and then exploding through Roach on his back foot gets tagged.

[00:10:38]>> Always have to wonder when someone's a crowd favorite like this.

[00:10:43]>> Yeah, not a lot of punches landed. There is one or two body shots there >> here. Less than a minute left in round one, but Roach looks uncomfortable. Good counter right hand there from Roach.

[00:10:55]>> Balance left hook upstairs.

[00:10:57]>> Final minute to gain back some respect with those clean.

[00:11:01]>> Nice left hand upstairs, too.

[00:11:05]>> You want to continue that distance jab.

[00:11:07]There you go. Little step back upstairs, >> but Cruz shoot by Roach lands upstairs.

[00:11:14]who will impose their will.

[00:11:18]>> It all started with that jab.

[00:11:19]>> Jabs are few and mean in the cruise arsenal.

[00:11:23]>> Bruce said part of the reason why he wanted he didn't believe that roach would run. He saw how roach Davis a tough night in the office. Of course, Davis was compromised against highly disputed.

[00:11:33]>> These are the only two fighters.

[00:11:34]>> Oh, to go to Cruz COULD MISS EVERY PUNCH IN the crowd. You just have to be careful of that.

[00:11:39]>> These two are fighting on very even terms. Absolutely. is next.

[00:11:48]>> Ringing throughout the cross bank center goes to the body.

[00:11:53]>> Single shot from Cruz. Time of right hand coming in there.

[00:11:58]>> Cruz misses with the left hook roach. And again, even though he's along the ropes, doesn't appear to be in any danger now.

[00:12:08]So the biggest thing he can do to that confidence is make Cruz miss and make him pay. He look like the bigger man against Tate Davis at 135. He's filled out beautifully into 140 tonight.

[00:12:20]>> Nice right hand there from Roach inside.

[00:12:24]I think Cruz has to TRY TO and the glove touch Roach hit with the left hand. It's a knock >> THE LEFT HAND OF ESAU CRUZ. A CRUISE MISSILE DROPPED. Dross first blood with the knock down here in the third.

[00:12:41]>> Ocean shot to drop him.

[00:12:43]>> Another left lads >> again.

[00:12:51]>> We know the boxers are the ones who hurt Cruz. Jose Valenuela coach could do the same thing. THE COUNTER SHOTS WERE roach on the Oh, nice counter right by Crows and the chopping right hand body shot.

[00:13:04]Left hook to deliver the liver by Cruz and they clinch.

[00:13:08]Nice one.

[00:13:09]And Cruz misses wildly with the left hook. Well, Browns at 140 lbs. Roach making debut has already gone down as Cruz comes forward. There's a jab speaks to his dimensions as well, Brian, because he's so low.

[00:13:28]>> Still showing good body length when this crowd gets going.

[00:13:31]>> Yes. Yes.

[00:13:38]Nice left hook to the liver. There's the double jab. Roach trying to physically man. Another left hand lands for Cruz.

[00:13:46]Roaches being drawn into a firefight.

[00:13:50]>> Jab body hook upstairs and the inside punch is the uppercut.

[00:13:56]>> Putting that to the test. Oh, right hand lands for Cruz upstairs and Roach is standing right in front of him.

[00:14:06]>> Lead right uppercut in the left hand from Cruz. Oh, left hook upstairs.

[00:14:11]Clipped.

[00:14:15]>> Counter shot there from Roach.

[00:14:17]>> Jabbing finally trying to keep Pitbull at bay and again gets Coach isn't even trying to box from the outside. He's meeting.

[00:14:36]>> There's one thing to say, Abner, that Cruz makes you fight this style of fight. He's meeting him there each sequence.

[00:14:42]>> Nice left hand.

[00:14:44]>> There's a combination from Roach.

[00:14:48]>> Nice left hand lands for Roach.

[00:15:02]four a headbutt against Giovani Cabrera two years ago in low 2021 >> man Roach just needs to try to keep him at the end of his jab but he's being drawn in >> there's a left hand that left maybe his best punch of the fight goes to the body >> on the momentum of any good sequences he has >> especially this round as might be a difference from Roach. It was >> Roach is level here. I'll take a second half like the first one as they continue.

[00:15:32]>> Cruz of the left hook right there trying to go.

[00:15:36]>> There's a right hand that lands for, you know, Roach needs to establish the jab. He just has to. And Cruz does >> by catching him coming in.

[00:15:48]>> Another left hook by Roach. Cruz looking to use the jab now. Finally, Roach's footwork evading the shot. And Roach now delivers a fast combination.

[00:15:56]>> Frustrated. You can read it on his face, but he lands a big left hook there.

[00:16:00]>> There's a left hook that lands for Roach. Oh, and Cruz misses. Intelligent pressure. And there's a leading Roach as Cruz came in.

[00:16:09]He's only landed four punches.

[00:16:16]>> Another left hand from Roach of the last four rounds.

[00:16:22]>> Yeah, they've shown.

[00:16:24]Someone checked senior's blood pressure as we see that check hooked by Roach >> for Roach >> and there for a left hand >> movement and there you can see Roach. A minute left in the 10th for Lamont Roach Jr. as Cruz >> man on my card.

[00:16:42]>> If that act isn't reacting to it, it's going to be a difficult task.

[00:16:45]>> Round Cruz was seven.

[00:16:47]>> Bounced back beautifully from that third round knockdown. Touched the canvas. He fell into the rope.

[00:16:52]>> That favors Lamont Roach Jr. although Cruz caught him there. And Cruz now unloading on Roach at the final SECONDS OF THE ROUND. AND Roach Roach.

[00:17:09]>> This crowd is on its feet just trying to will Cruz back in. Roach lands. They exchange for Still.

[00:17:18]>> We landed a couple of shots there. Cruz.

[00:17:26]Minute and a half left in the fight. The crowd in San Antonio to victory.

[00:17:34]Successful debut at 140 lbs for pick up another victory at 140.

[00:17:43]It's going to come down to the I think has won this fight. But my opinion doesn't matter.

[00:17:55]My god. For the second consecutive >> while Cruz was fighting his battle to jump into the elite circles, Gavvontto Davis was doing serious damage in boxing. After Davis brutally took out Ryan Garcia in 2023, the lightweight hierarchy shifted overnight when Devin Haney moved up to 140 lbs and vacated his titles. Davis was elevated to the official primary WBA lightweight champion. This promotion instantly painted a target on his back, drawing out a fresh wave of hungry contenders eager to seize the throne. The most vocal challenger was Frank Martin, a former sparring partner who wasn't shy about their history. Martin fueled the fire by claiming he had previously clipped Davis during their gym sessions, questioning the champion's vaunted power. The intrigue focused on whether gym stories would translate to professional reality. Could Martin's speed and technical confidence silence the champion? Or would Davis prove that sparring highlights mean nothing under the bright lights? It was the ultimate test of talk versus talent team. Tishwell Martin says he's going to spook.

[00:19:04]>> Yeah. And if you're Martin, you definitely want to start putting those rounds together early on.

[00:19:08]>> Strategic patience. And for Frank Martin, of course, here's a guy who has some of the best footwork. He's an amazing athlete, was an all state wrestler, a football player in his career, and now working under James. He is primed here to Brent Martens as well as Jake Davis because there's a lot of great counter punching as well. And for Davis, of course, it's all about low output, high accuracy. We we talk about how he's able to exploit in what he called the best of Leo Santa Cruz going to the well once to a left uppercut for the 2020 knockout of the year. But here very much typical of a Dvonte tank Davis fight on his back foot just seeing what Martin has to offer. Martin trying to establish the jab again.

[00:19:51]>> Absolutely. And Martin's a really good one just been landing so far with Martin's been landing the left hand of the body which is about 48 punches around under a minute left here in the first high guard of Tank Davis.

[00:20:06]>> Yeah, both fighters really alert right now delivery system. Second to nothing, but Martin putting the pressure on Davis who's sticking out that lead hand.

[00:20:16]>> Saw how nice Martin got out of that corner when he got to around and ended up picking Tank up on his shoulders.

[00:20:22]There's the one two from Hank Davis.

[00:20:24]Under 20 seconds left, especially that left hand, he's so quick with it. Got good rank Martin.

[00:20:31]As expected, Martin taking the time around and proficient at pole counters as well as Martin immediately goes on the attack. Sneaks a shot into the body of Tank Davis.

[00:20:44]>> Yeah, both fighters really relaxed, really alert, locking eyes. I mean, just both of them waiting for one or the other to make a mistake really.

[00:21:03]Tank putting on really good pressure right now. Even though he's not throwing anything, he's making Frank Martin work by >> right hook behind the guard of Davis by Martin. So Martin again >> throwing many more punches than we expected, but he really was incredible in that what was supposed to be a 50/50 fight against the then unbeaten Michelle Rivera. He took Rivera to school. The biggest win of his career.

[00:21:29]>> You can just sense that anything can happen in any given moment.

[00:21:32]>> Yeah, you you know T Davis. Oh, nice counter to the body by Davis.

[00:21:38]>> Patience, but Frank Pardon meanwhile wants to continue doing this punching combination. Utilize the jab stick and move. Utilize that fast move.

[00:21:47]>> And I think as well that he wants to tire out Frank Martin by keeping him on guard all the time. You wonder if that'll happen with an athlete like Frank Martin.

[00:21:55]>> Well, >> with tank on your tail.

[00:21:59]>> Yeah, but I get you never faced an athlete like Frank Martin.

[00:22:01]>> No, I I agree. But there's a lot of mental >> and a guy who's really ready mentally and otherwise. I get what you're saying.

[00:22:07]But >> yeah, same here.

[00:22:08]>> It's only round number three.

[00:22:10]>> Yeah, exactly. But you know this >> there's a nice left hand from Davis.

[00:22:14]Lead left hand. And he has Martin now in the corner. He does. And there's the jump. And there's that counter left.

[00:22:22]Jab to the body by Davis moving two over the top five move the millimeters his defense his his ability to utilize his ring IQ and his boxing skills yes it's not even so much of an exciting fighter good combination lands for Martin's double the guard by Martin utilizing that footwork >> money line has changed >> of course you got Martin leading taking those rounds and and again like you said Joe he's doing all the right things following him one two three back to the jab moving to the side not giving Davis any any any moments you get on a power punches huge edge for >> nice lands for Davis post downstairs.

[00:23:23]>> That's smart attempt to go to the body instead of keep trying to go to the head. You you know Frank Martin's very hard to hit to the head and he landed some solid body shots on Frank Martin.

[00:23:32]>> That was an arm punch also breaking down the arms.

[00:23:37]>> Watch your head and you know if you get clipped by one trouble.

[00:23:44]>> Final minute of the fourth round >> and very much going according to what I guess a lot of the experts planned that Martin would bank early rounds and then we'd see what would happen in the second half of the fight.

[00:24:01]Well, Tank even went public on social media predicted a ninth round knockout of Frank Martin.

[00:24:07]30 seconds left and Martin said, "Hey, watch it. I I can knock out Tank Davis, too." You know, >> that was a good body shot from from Davis. Again, you can't get repetitive if you're Martin. No way.

[00:24:19]>> Davis. Davis is reading you.

[00:24:20]>> Instantly he'll respond. And there the left hand.

[00:24:24]>> Now Davis beginning to open up.

[00:24:28]>> The crowd anticipating it.

[00:24:36]>> Leave. Nice left hand from Martin. Good trajectory change. Level change. The jab downstairs. Martin continues to back up.

[00:24:44]Davis walking forward. Short steps.

[00:24:48]That vision fully locked in. Good defense. Martin Davidson. Bring it. Of course he wants to bring it down with the left.

[00:25:08]Frank Martin some real magic tricks out of the corner there.

[00:25:13]T Tank is so intimidating, isn't he? When he's coming at you like this, it's just >> It's just intimidating.

[00:25:24]>> Meaning Mike Tyson.

[00:25:25]>> Mike Tyson had the same effect.

[00:25:27]>> Yes. He tires you out just by, you know, being there.

[00:25:30]>> Being there right now, now I will say, >> and he said the whole fight is a trap.

[00:25:34]Davis, you ask David, he goes, I thought a trap from the opening bell >> on the right side. Look at the right Davis. It's getting thrown. It's right there. Those left hands have been landing on that side of the face. Oh, see he's doing a little damage. Frank Martin, >> he's landed 49 total punches compared to Hank's 32. But as always, Hank >> landing at a higher accuracy.

[00:26:03]Under a minute left here in the fifth.

[00:26:07]>> Good jab by Frank. He's been using that very well tonight at the right time.

[00:26:12]He's timing that jab well.

[00:26:14]Uppercut, right hook by Davis. The jab to the midsection by Davis on Frank Martin. And oh, the left hand by Davis. A good counter by Martin. Yeah, you you can't just let Davis get off and land him one shot. If he does, you got to come back with your own. Even if you're hurt, just to let him know that, you know, I'm still in this and you're not doing anything to hurt me.

[00:26:43]Frank Martin's having a good round this round.

[00:26:56]>> This is a dance for Martin. Nice. One step ahead pops Martin.

[00:27:01]>> Yeah. Here we go. Here's Tank there. The little slip and a little, you know, left hand over the top. was a counter over the jab of uh of Martin Ortega and it was a solid lead left hand by Martin.

[00:27:14]Yeah, he he gets it back >> and that's how you get them off.

[00:27:22]>> The best ever connect percentage against Tank Davis was Lao Santa Cruz, but Davis knocked him out and now Martin is landing at 29%. So Martin having the best success of any fighter against Tag Davis, but Davis is getting closer, getting closer with a minute and a half left in the first half of this 12 round affair.

[00:27:44]And Tag lands a chopping left hand as he's allowed to walk in uncontested.

[00:27:48]That's the second session out of that corner, but that was the only one he landed. Frank Martin put a nice Houdini out of that corner on that first set of punches that tank was thrown out. Yeah, Tank definitely not respecting that power from Morton. Getting in easy, but again, Morton just let out that jab.

[00:28:03]He's got to get back on the jab.

[00:28:05]>> Oh, there's the jab and the left followup left from Davis. A rare combination in the early going. A minute left here in the first half of the fight.

[00:28:14]>> So, Davis got to be ahead on the scorecard just based on the the output, right, guys?

[00:28:19]>> I would not disagree with that. Although Jake is having his back, >> you know, he doesn't want to give anything to uh Davis. But again, he he has to keep him busy.

[00:28:27]>> Oh, there's a left hand to the body of the right by Davis. Martin just avoiding that counter. But now Martin at first to wrestle and the referee.

[00:28:38]>> There's that look that Frank missed that left hand. Tank countered with the left uppercut and then the right hook.

[00:28:45]>> Breaking them up. But Martin's doing the veteran thing when Davis is entering what for him is a danger zone. Nice combo by Martin though. Look, every time he keeps him busy with >> he keeps moving. He's doing exactly what he's supposed to.

[00:28:59]>> Here's the thing that Tank Davis is concentrating on. He's looking to count on the left hand with a left uppercut like that or or a straight left hand.

[00:29:07]He's lingo shots.

[00:29:08]>> Yeah, he's looking double jab left from Davis. Now Davis chopping down on Martin.

[00:29:15]Martin against the ropes trying to use the the wing block with his left arm.

[00:29:22]Moves to the center of the ring again.

[00:29:24]There's the exit trying to create the angle.

[00:29:30]Oh wow. Standing in front of Davis like that. High guard. Dangerous.

[00:29:39]Davis misses with the lead left uppercut but then follows up with another left hand. And Frank Martin forced to retreat on the back foot, but Martin unable to fire back. He's getting >> Yes, he's being more stationary now.

[00:29:53]Frank Martin tank is just walking in so comfortable.

[00:30:06]>> And Davis has definitely muted the offense of Frank Martin for the first time in this fight. Davis is let throwing more punches than Frank Martin and really opening up a lead here in terms of total punches connected in this round. It's all Jervante Tank Davis with just over 30 seconds left in the seventh in that last session right there. Frank Martin covered up well counter left for Rick Martin. That's Jolton Davis. That's the counter he's been looking for.

[00:30:37]>> Neither fighter has ever been down as A PRO.

[00:30:40]FINAL 15 seconds left in the seven.

[00:30:49]It's been Davis's best round in terms of offensive output. Just missing with the left and it's it's ON Q. IT'S ROUND SEVEN. It begins. Martin still has a slight advantage in terms of total punches landed, but the gap is closing and gave a double left hand. Martin's got to stay out of the cross if he if he wants to stay in this fight.

[00:31:12]>> We haven't seen body work from Martin. I want to see that left to the body.

[00:31:22]Oh, left goes Maria 6.

[00:31:32]IT'S TANK. Davis scripts this stuff.

[00:31:43]>> Here's the corner. Frank should not be in there. We were talking about that.

[00:31:46]He's just setting himself up for big trouble here. There's the uppercut and there's the left hand. Wow. Once he stunned him with that upper. In July 2025, the super lightweight division caught fire when Isaac Cruz clashed with Omar Salido in a bout defined by raw intensity. It was the ultimate unstoppable force meets a movable object scenario, pitting a relentless hunter against a savvy ring general. Cruz arrived with his reputation as a human wrecking ball. Known for his suffocating high guard and bone crushing power, he was fighting like a man trying to end a night with every hook. For Cruz, it wasn't about points. It was about breaking his opponent's will. Salceo, however, represented a tactical nightmare. As a battle tested veteran, his game was built on disruption. He specialized in neutralizing aggression using clever clinches and angled counters to turn a firefight into a slog. Could Salce's veteran guile survive the pitbull's fury?

[00:32:43]>> Dream of getting into the Hall of Fame someday. Isaku the pitbull comes out and does what the pitbull does. just eating and ready for his style. Listen, I'm ready. And he fights anyone anytime any fights the same way. I'm loving Pipple right now. Thursday only going to make weight and he did good.

[00:33:07]These are shots that are going to play dividly for Cruz a double jab. He gets in close and there's the body shot.

[00:33:14]Beautiful work from Pipple Cruz to get in to cut off the ring. Two jabs.

[00:33:19]Beautiful right hook to the body from Pimple Cruz. Overhand right over left to the head. There it is. He tried it.

[00:33:26]Yeah, man. Right now it's landing big powerful shots like that overhand right and into size. But he is able. As you see right there, shift and really load up on these power shots.

[00:33:40]But one thing I am noticing about Cruz, he's patient tonight. He's not running looping right just behind the guard of Look at that. Oh, that's a move. Salce trying to land the right hand, but he gets clipped by a three shot combination from Pitull.

[00:33:57]And Pitull is coming on here.

[00:34:02]Goodness.

[00:34:03]And he went on survival.

[00:34:06]That's a nice slapping right hook.

[00:34:09]Pitbull says it landed once. Will it land twice? Why not?

[00:34:15]really thinks Fiero pulling out the way he did and the way Cruz interpreted that pulling out it's really he's got to fight with a chip on my shoulder talking to says when you do the talking I'll do the punching he's going to say you know what that means he's not going to be able to hold you those 8 10 seconds in the corner you can't catch a breather that low energy that we saw Purple. Oh, nice right hand that hurt him. Yes. And then going for it and he's right up.

[00:34:47]>> He's kind of showing no respect for the punching power of Salceto who really hasn't given him a reason to do that just yet. L some land some big shots.

[00:34:55]But here it is the last round and he's going to go for it all.

[00:35:01]>> Nice at this point. Left hook again from Isak Cruz.

[00:35:06]Salce needs to fight down when the pit goes to work because and battle. Hasa the pitbull is ready to put in some work here. The last 40 seconds of this fight. I don't know how he withtood that punishment. Listen, he wants to finish this fight. He wants >> If I were a cruise, I'm like, "No, I don't want to vicious overhead right. It's been the left that's been doing damage this round, but now he has to hold on and take to give this kid a chance to finish on his feet. And he needs to move out of the way.

[00:35:42]just survived but she's at a time.

[00:35:46]>> Credit to Amasil for standing up to Isak and credit to Sakur for saying Weissfeld and Dantrella both scored the mount 99 to 89. Jock Pitbull Cruz.

[00:36:04]Esso, congratulations. Abner Mars is going to translate for >> after a quiet 2024, Javvante Davis returned in 2025 with a chip on his shoulder, facing Lamont Roach Jr. in a clash that promised to be his most grueling test yet. Unlike Davis's meteoric rise, Roach's journey was defined by grit and narrow misses. After a heartbreakingly close title loss to Jamal Herring in 2019, he spent four years fighting back into contention. He finally reached the summit by dethroning Hector Garcia using a clinical late round surge to secure the super featherweight crown. Now moving up to face tank, he brought the momentum of a man who knew exactly how to overcome the odds. The matchup was a study in contrast. Davis's explosive stardom versus Roach's hard-earned veteran savvy. The world tuned in to see if Roach's underdog spirit could produce one more miracle.

[00:36:56]>> To which Tan Davis's precision and power is half the fun.

[00:37:04]>> Yeah, it's just a matter of when really again Ro smart round. He's not throwing a lot but being cautious being smart get hit and that's why he doesn't start as as fast. He's he's waiting for the right moment.

[00:37:16]>> Feed much more here in round three. Good body shot there from T. Another body shot from Davis. Straight right down.

[00:37:24]Roach told us he had no issues at all with the only loss, the only draw in his career. Did both come against left-handed fighters.

[00:37:36]>> Left in the third.

[00:37:39]Really good right hand from the fight where fighters pick up rounds against Davis.

[00:37:44]>> Yeah, those right hands that landed in the sneaky shots to the body this round, too.

[00:37:50]There's that right hand again from a close range.

[00:37:56]It's >> a good body commentary.

[00:38:00]>> Final 60 seconds. Lead left hand. Split the guard roach. Roach though with the uppercut in the right hand trying to score on Davis. But Davis defending and sticking his tongue out. Wonder what I did to remove. He did lose. And there it is. See this is where Roach has to be careful getting off of this game plan.

[00:38:17]He got to his head already by him answering back, you know, shoulder thrust.

[00:38:22]>> Round six and and according to the stats, what happens? Cuz the words are being thrown at each other. Let's see if the punches start being thrown. And yes, they do.

[00:38:33]Why is standing right in front of him?

[00:38:35]You can't do that. Why is he staring him down after eating a big shot reaching?

[00:38:41]Got to be careful.

[00:38:47]starting to put that pressure on Roach.

[00:38:49]He is. And there's the left hand.

[00:38:51]Stepping on the foot of Roach repeatedly as he throws to the body.

[00:38:55]>> Yeah, the mind games indeed. You can Roach cannot can get frustrated and then lose focus. The trip up from Capitol Heights Maryland.

[00:39:07]Okay, Davis now that coming back from B.

[00:39:13]Davis leading with the left right hook from Davis, but Roach coming back goes to the body.

[00:39:23]Lands the right hand upstairs. Oh, good left by Davis, although it was caught off the block. Nice right hook on Davis, but hey, Roach took off the punch.

[00:39:36]Oh, nice double left hook by Roach to the body and then to the head right hand. So good and success here for Roach in round seven. Oh, and a right hand by Roach. Another right yet only landing him by three. The Oh, good solid shot there. Davis. Oh, there's a right hook to the body by Davis. Ripping that right hand and then Roach rips a left hook to the body. Good stuff here in round seven.

[00:40:08]Oh, there it is.

[00:40:11]OH, DAVIS JUST GOT BACKED UP WITH A COUNTER rang from Roach. That's a big moment in the fight for Roach.

[00:40:18]>> You talk about getting respect. That was his moment.

[00:40:22]>> He's earning TERREN'S RESPECT. THAT COUNTER right backing Davis up. And there's a left uppercut that lasts for Roach. Davis digs to the body. He's getting he's getting round eight.

[00:40:39]He would explode with the left. Oh, and that right. But Davis took off some of the steam of the punch, but still Roach and he took a knee. He took a knee. Took him out. He took him out.

[00:40:49]>> And that's right there. Oh, HERE COMES DAVIS. DAVIS EXPLODING. And Roaching Fire with fire.

[00:40:58]Roach eating some big shots and coming right back. A minute and a half left in what has been an event for nine.

[00:41:04]Instead, he exploded and coach took the shots and fired back some of his own.

[00:41:10]Roach has to be careful. Tank loading up big here.

[00:41:15]>> Lead right hook, left hand from Davis.

[00:41:17]>> Never expected to be taking these shots and countering and answering with his own.

[00:41:22]>> You're right. Davis, an expert at at taking advantage of predictable patterns.

[00:41:30]>> Nice right hand from Roach. Nice left hook from Roach.

[00:41:36]>> Right uppercut on the inside.

[00:41:37]Combinations from Roach. And you're right though, you keep saying don't puff.

[00:41:43]>> Nice combination from Roach.

[00:41:49]>> ROACH CONTINUES TO LAND THE right hand.

[00:41:51]fairs here in round 10 where Roach has landed eight of 26. Davis just three of 13. Good body shot there though from David.

[00:42:01]>> Oh, beautiful body shot by Davis.

[00:42:04]Another left hand from Javante Tank Davis. You feel like it could be that seems the other way. Absolutely.

[00:42:13]>> Continues to attack Tank Davis.

[00:42:15]>> That's a tremendous stat. And oh by the way guess who doesn't look like a 130 pounder tonight settling in getting interested here.

[00:42:23]>> Oh another right HAND ANOTHER RIGHT LEFT BY ROACH EXCHANGING FIRE WITH DAVIDSON having success after he have a right hand and then he's >> Lamont Roach Jr. more than proving that he earned this opportunity guys and making the most of it right now being crowned a champion.

[00:42:45]We've got just over a round left and he's doing a great job here in round 11 as well. Maybe him getting fed as a two division champion simultaneous one.

[00:42:56]Although Davis fighting on even terms here in the 11. Both of them have landed and then it could very well be the other way on the official score.

[00:43:07]Look at still talking and Davis keeps the body shot and another left hook upstairs. Right hand left. Oh, but there's a counter left from Davis. Just has to keep doing that again. And he says, "Oh my god, he's punches and the chainsaw."

[00:43:29]Oh, but Davis looking for that left hand. 40 seconds left.

[00:43:36]Is his CHAMPIONSHIP REIGN IN JEOPARDY?

[00:43:38]IT COMES DOWN to the judges at ringside.

[00:43:43]So, who would win a potential rematch between Javanta Davis and Isaac Cruz? If this second war ever becomes reality, it might be the kind of matchup people talk about for decades. Tank versus Pit Ball 2 is a collision of pure explosive power against relentless, suffocating pressure. One man calculates the perfect strike while the other forces a fight where there's nowhere to hide. And that's what makes it so fascinating because you can make a real case for both. Does Davis's elite IQ and counter punching precision finally put Cruz away for good? Or does the Pit Bull's non-stop aggression and granite chin eventually break the champion's riven?

[00:44:21]Honestly, this could be the fight of the year the moment it's announced.
