That was a good stoppage imo. Despite what Malignaggi was saying, Nunez wasn’t trying to smother Davis when the fight was being stopped, he was rocked bad and was just tumbling forward. He’d probably taken one or two more shots before going down.
Beautiful left from Davis.
Clearly, Davis still has Icy feelings toward Mayweather. ..
Davis a gifted southpaw and faster by far than his rival. His punching power is brutal. Good stop from the referee.
