Rolly Romero: 'Without Floyd [Mayweather], Gervonta Davis is nothing' (ESPN)

Lightweight Rolando "Rolly" Romero says Saturday's opponent, Gervonta Davis, "is nothing" without the marketing influence of Floyd Mayweather and Mayweather ...

I really don't have to go too much into detail." "It's my career, so I feel as though I need to be the one that controls my career. Romero is a 5-1 underdog, per Caesars Sportsbook, and with good reason. It's time to ride their own bike without training wheels." ... He should be extremely grateful for Floyd. Floyd didn't look at him like his fighter. But as far as marketing, he has zero personality.

Gervonta Davis-Rolando Romero Preview | BoxingInsider.com (BoxingInsider.com)

By: Sean Crose Twenty-six wins. Twenty-four by knockout. Major title belts in three divisions. Gervonta Davis is unquestionably one of the more.

In short, Davis is the favorite in this fight for good reason. Again, however, Davis is the favorite here for a reason. Those charges were eventually dropped, leading to the Davis fight becoming a reality. The fight with Davis was supposed to occur last December, but sexual assault charges against Romero derailed the match for obvious reasons. And it’s time.” Perhaps Davis, who has a unique ability to pack in large crowds wherever he fights (Saturday’s fight will break the Barclay’s Center record for boxing attendance) wants to face some of the bigger names out there in legitimate super fights. Although the twenty-six year old Romero is entering the ring as a clear underdog this weekend, his record of twelve knockout wins in a career of fourteen victories and zero losses is notable.

Davis is simply the far better fighter and his power is as good, if not better, than Romero's. Outside of Romero catching Davis clean with a fight-changing punch, it's hard to see any way the fight doesn't play out with Davis hitting Romero clean early and often before finishing the fight with a brutal flurry. Romero swings for the fences with nearly every punch, winding up and leaving big holes for return fire while also often finding himself off-balance in the process. Those fights tend to stick out in the memory far more because the much more common case of the better fighter simply outclassing their foe. Lara, 39, has won three in a row since a draw against Brian Castano and a loss to Jarrett Hurd in 2019 and 2018, respectively. That Davis was able to shift gears and battle through those two layers of adversity was a big moment that showed a deeper well of skills than many of Davis' doubters may have believed he possessed.

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." Espinoza said: "Tank is entitled to explore all the opportunities that are open to him, but it's tough to argue with the results that have been achieved so far. "You've got Floyd, Gervonta — two big names. To Brian Custer on The Last Stand podcast, Davis said: "It's my career, so I feel as though I need to be the one that controls [it]. It's time.

Gervonta "Tank" Davis (26-0, 24 KOs) and Rolando Romero (14-0, 12 KOs) will finally settle their feud on Saturday night in a pay-per-view showdown at ...

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. Romero, 26, has made it clear he thinks little of Davis' undefeated record and penchant for the big knockout. Instead, Davis fought Isaac Cruz on that December card, beating him by a close unanimous decision in Los Angeles. It was a difficult fight for Tank, the WBA secondary lightweight champion, but he did enough to convince all three judges.

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.

How good is Gervonta Davis? Undefeated record doesn't tell whole ... (Sporting News)

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.

Gervonta “Tank” Davis Vs. Rolly Romero: Odds, Records, Prediction (Forbes)

Here's everything you need to know about Gervonta “Tank” Davis vs. Rolly Romero, as Davis attempts to defend his 135-pound world title.

But then again, neither has Romero. And I’m guessing Davis hits harder and cleaner than Romero. This should be a fan-friendly fight, and I think Davis will mostly dominate it. Say, Davis by stoppage in the seventh round. Davis has an impeccable record of 26-0 with 24 KOs, but we’re still waiting for his signature fight. Romero has power, and Davis hasn’t really had his chin tested by an elite opponent yet. You can get Davis by KO/TKO at -400, but I don’t love that. I’m one of the few fighters to get to headline a PPV 14 fights into my career.” There’s little doubt that Davis, not Romero, is the reason this fight will headline a Showtime PPV extravaganza. Meanwhile, Romero is +600, which means you’d win $600 on a $100 bet. “I’m already a star. “I think Tank is an amazing fighter, but this is going to be the easiest fight of my career,” Romero said. I hit him with one of these and I’m going to knock his whole nose off. Rolly Romero might be an elite trash talker and a championship-level barb-thrower.

Salvo que pierda por sorpresa ante "Rolly", el hecho de que Davis se desprenda de esa protección podría dar a los aficionados al boxeo y a los críticos lo que de entrada han estado anhelando ver. A partir de ahí, Davis revitalizó aún más el mercado de Atlanta en junio de 2021 con su segunda pelea en el State Farm Arena, donde aplastó a Mario Barrios por TKO en el 11º asalto para convertirse en el campeón mundial "regular" de peso superligero de la WBA. La victoria también lo convirtió en campeón mundial de tres divisiones. Y ya es hora", dijo Davis. Davis ha sido colocado como favorito con -850 frente a la etiqueta de no favorito de Romero con +570. Si Davis tiene una gran actuación el sábado por la noche, como se espera, su comentario sobre las "ruedas de entrenamiento" también sugiere un gran paso adelante en la competición. Y pronto. El campeón mundial unificado del peso ligero, George Kambosos, peleará con Haney con la gloria indiscutida en juego en el estadio Marvel de Melbourne, Australia, el 5 de junio, lo que sitúa a él y a Davis en un calendario más o menos similar hacia una megapelea. Pero antes de que se iniciara, "Tank", el actual campeón mundial "regular" de peso ligero de la WBA, reveló una idea bastante reveladora al confirmar que la pelea del sábado por la noche será su última con Mayweather Promotions.
