On May 28 in Brooklyn (New York, USA), American lightweight knockouts will meet in a potentially bright mix: WBA World champion star Gervonta “Tank” Davis (26-0, 24 KOs) will meet his mandatory challenger, the chatty and daring Rolando “Rolly” Romero (14-0, 12 KOs).
Show promoter Leonard Ellerbee (Mayweather Promotions)
chooses words carefully, since both fighters are from his stable: “For Rolly, this is the fight of his life. And he is ready for it. What do we know for sure? These dudes don’t like each other. And this is not some cheap show. It is for this reason that I take no risks when I promise you that the winner will be determined by knockout. But can we say that there are some personal scores between them? I think it’s something else here.”
“From the point of view of the Tank, it’s not about hostility, but about lack of respect. Yeah, he thinks “Rolly” is being extremely disrespectful. And he does it deliberately and defiantly. “Tank” is not just a champion, he is already a long-playing champion. It’s also an incredibly cool fighter. And he really feels all this disrespect coming from “Rolly”. Now imagine what will happen in the ring when these two incredible punchers go head to head! Definitely one of them will miss first. Who exactly? We will get the answer to this question next Saturday,” the boss rubs his hands. Mayweather Promotions.
Davis had previously stated that he would leave the company after the upcoming fight. It is possible that Mayweather is dreaming of an upset – Rolando is a clear underdog in the opinion of bookmakers, experts and fans. Ellerbee argues: “What a great chance for Rollie? I think it just doesn’t happen anymore. But for “Tank” this is another proof that he is still one of the greatest in boxing. We can already assume that all conversations are in the past. Now both have to enter the ring and answer with deeds for their words. Yes, that is what makes the upcoming fight so exciting and attractive for the fans.”
Yesterday, Romero surprised with clumsy moves in open training, and then promised to knock out the champion in the 1st round. According to the applicant, Gervonta Davis will go on a drinking binge and get brain damage. Teofimo Lopez shared his unexpected prediction for this confrontation.
