Marcus Davis is fighting in Europe? I’m stunned.
I find it ironic he’s not even from there…haha
I hope Marcus Davis ko’s or tko’s Dan Hardy, i don’t think Dan Hardy is that good. I would like to see Davis fight at 155, i feel since he’s kida short, he’d be a big guy at 155 and i think he’d match up well with a lot of guys in that division.
How can you say that Dan Hardy is not that good.
Hardy: 21 wins with 11 knockouts
Davis: 16 wins with 5 knockouts
Don’t get me wrong, love watching Davis fight as he goes all-out and throws the kitchen sink at his opponents, but Hardy does the same.
This should be a shoe-in for fight of the night, but Herring/Valasquez should be a barn burner too
