He is a tall, quick, slashing puncher with a vicious body attack and a tendency toward "roughhouse." Davis, an able veteran, has a swift, agile style. He enters this title fight with more losses than any con¬ tender in ring history. Saddler vs. Davis TALE OF THE TAPE Compiled by Nat Fleischer (The Ring) TV GUIDE A-47
