Official highlights
Cuellar did very well going to the attack but he was against to a “beast” of a puncher and a good technician too. He was brave but it was too much of a challenge considering the record of his rival and the fact that he was not fighting since the end of 2016.
Davis looked really sharp. Really patient. He just took what Cuellar gave him.
