Better card than I expected.  Adames-Derevyanchenko (undercard) was fan friendly, although “D” is now shop-worn and just a gatekeeper at this stage in his career.  Adames-Munguia at 160 would be a fun future scrap.

Much more competitive main event than I thought it would be.  Cruz was a substitute and thought Ellerbie/Mayweather (risk adverse management team) picked him for a reason - to make Davis look good.  Issac much tougher and stylistically problematic than I think the “suits” reckoned.  Pushed Davis onto the back foot and neutralized his power somewhat during the course of the fight.  Thought Davis was in better shape (than he’s been in the last couple of bouts) and needed it for this one.  Cruz roughed him up but Davis’ legs held down the stretch.  Give Gervonta credit - tough to win with one hand.

Like you, I think Davis is an elite talent.  And 135 is a deep division.  Styles make fights; none of these guys (Davis, Haney, Kambosos, Lopez, Loma, Stevenson, Colbert) are unbeatable though.  And they can’t ”marinate” forever without atrophy settling in (Daddy Lopez)….  Allot of good matchups possible and the network/promotional conglomerates will have to ”play their hands” eventually.  Anyway, still bet we see Kambosos-Haney and maybe Lopez-Loma rematch next year.  Hearing rumblings (again) of Crawford and Spence camp negotiations.  Optimistically, could be a start….
