↵I’m not going to get in and get out. I’m going to get in and set up camp at arm’s reach. If I can get in there, and I can set up camp at arm’s reach, I’m smothering his kicks, I’m smothering his reach, his punches. I’ve just gotta, once again, watch out for those knees and that Muay Thai clinch. But I’ve already worked on things. You gotta remember, I’m from a Muay Thai school now. So I’m working with guys that are his height, that are trying to grab my neck all day long. So I’m coming into this fight very well-prepared. His strength is his reach, those kicks that he likes to throw from a long range, and then his Muay Thai clinch, his awkwardness of fighting lefty-righty, going back and forth, and then on the ground will be his long guard. That’s what I concentrated on in camp, coming up with many different ways, not just one, but many different ways of dealing with all those situations. And I did it in camp. If I can take what I did in camp and do in on Saturday night, after that fight, people are going to go “Wow, he really has changed. He’s changed it up. He looks different and everything.” So that’s what I’m looking forward to — showcasing the newer version of me, and then having people say, “I want to see Davis and Hardy again. That’s a fight we’d like to see. I want to see this new approach against that douchebag.”
Marcus Davis: Back To Basics
↵↵
↵It almost feels like the reverse of the correct approach for Davis to get back to striking heading into the fight with Saunders. Ben is tall with very good striking, Davis has a clear advantage if he can get on top on the floor. We’ll see what happens when the two clash in a fight on Spike TV tonight.
