As mentioned, the duo is putting a load on the shotgun technique. Now, shotgun-style consists of some rapid-fire jabs on a string, which can put considerable damage on the rival. It is also helpful in distracting the opponent and closing the gaps between them.

It seems that Davis is planning to outpoint Leo Santa Cruz with that technique. Considering that Davis is one of the most lethal lightweight knockout artists, he will hunt for one more KO in his upcoming contest.
