Gervonta Davis has been threatening to leave Mayweather Promotions. The KO puncher returns to the ring Saturday for a firefight with Rolando Romero.

But that doesn't mean the end of the relationship." "I said my contract was up." "It's time to ride their own bike without training wheels."

If the latter has the right game plan and mentality going into this fight, he should be able to come up with a win. If he truly is going to be a star in this sport, this is the chance for him to show it. Rolly shakes Tank up early in the fight, and Tank is never able to recover his legs enough to keep Rolly off of him." Romero might be inclined to copy Cruz's strategy and go right after Davis, hoping to throw him off his game and make him feel the sting of his punches early on. That'll be easier said than done, as Romero will have to respect Davis' power lest he be caught with a knockout punch. Davis, meanwhile, has been tested much more often than Romero. He dominated at junior lightweight before moving up to the 135-pound division, and no fighter has yet solved his combination of power and tricky southpaw combinations. Davis is the favorite and the clear A-side boxer, but he can't afford to be overconfident. While Romero is coming into this fight brimming with confidence, it has to be understood that he's facing his toughest opponent yet, and by a long way. I'm going to be the next superstar in boxing and it begins on Saturday." Both Davis and Romero are no strangers to highlight-reel knockouts.

“I’m the new face of boxing, and everyone is going to see on Saturday when I knock ‘Tank’ out. I went in there and proved that I’m a top guy.” I’m going to go in there and hit him with one punch and we’re going to be done.” The writers just don’t wanna give Gervonta his props because he’s an inner-city kid who came from nothing, really loves what he’s doing, and he’s giving other kids hope.” Then I lost my title by not making weight, came back to Barclays and won the belt again,” Davis said. I’ll be ready for that.” “Whatever decision we make after this, I’m all for it because I feel that we always come up with the best plan as a team, and we’ve always executed our game plan.” Coming back to Barclays Center and New York is amazing. You might as well stay there and be loyal to Floyd.” I just want to live up to that,” Davis said.

Gervonta Davis headlines his fourth pay-per-view against Rolando Romero on May 28. Tank has all the makings of boxing's next big superstar.

All of the aforementioned names have faced at least one quality opponent while Davis has managed to become a budding superstar with a resume that is weaker than his peers. Of his 26 opponents, only three have knockout percentages over 70%. It could be a mere coincidence but is there a reason that Davis hasn’t fought a big puncher in his career? Considering that Romero lacks experience and quality opposition, the only thing for Tank to gain in this fight is bragging rights against someone he simply doesn't like. Despite the weight difference, Santa Cruz had never been stopped in his professional career until he met Davis in a boxing ring. The same could be said for Yuriorkis Gamboa, who Davis finished with a brutal uppercut in the 12th round of their 2019 clash. Santa Cruz has never been known as a big puncher and combining that with fighting at a higher weight posed little physical threat to Davis.
