Gervonta Davis, on Sunday night, battled Isaac Cruz for his WBA ‘regular’ lightweight title defense. The undefeated fighter was an undeniable favorite to win this bout, and he fared just the way he was supposed to. Davis ended up on the winning side, but unlike most of his fights, the American fighter failed to knock his fellow adversary out.

But regardless of that, Davis attained a win by unanimous decision.

While many applauded ‘Tank’ for the performance he put, there were his rivals who didn’t really enjoy his win. And one of his top rivals, Jake Paul, ended up giving an astonishing statement on ‘Tank’s performance.

Paul, in interaction with Fight Hub TV, said, “Yeah, I thought he lost. I think a lot of people will say that. I agree as well. I thought they were going to give it a draw, obviously, because he signed with Mayweather Promotions, Al Haymon, and we know how dirty boxing is and how judges are being paid off.”

“But of course, those close swing rounds are gonna get thrown to Gervonta, but I thought he lost.”

Davis and Paul’s rivalry isn’t new and fans are well acquainted with the same. Both of them, until now, have gone after each other numerous times and their rift is far from reaching saturation.

Jake Paul always looks to take a jibe at his rivals in the most eccentric way. That said, he went after ‘Tank’ this time over his performance, leaving the fans stunned with his above comments.
