The October 31st dual championship bout between Gervonta Davis and Leo Santa Cruz at the Alamodome in San Antonio, TX earned two awards from the World Boxing Association. The bout was named the WBA's Bout Of The Year and Davis's devastating sixth-round knockout of Santa Cruz was named the Knockout Of The Year.
The bout was full of frantic action as Santa Cruz's straight-ahead style clashed with Davis's technical style. However, in the sixth, Davis landed a powerful left uppercut that crashed into Santa Cruz's jaw and sent him crumpling to the canvas.
With the win, the undefeated Davis (24-0, 23 KO's) defended his WBA Super Featherweight championship and won the WBA Lightweight title and took one step closer to becoming one of the elite boxers in the sport.
