Already this Saturday Barclays Center In Brooklyn (New York, USA), WBA World lightweight champion American Gervonta Davis (26-0, 24 KOs) will meet with mandatory challenger compatriot Rolando Romero (14-0, 12 KOs).
He behaves extremely disrespectfully, promising to knock out “Tank” Davis in the opening round. According to observers and bookmakers, the champion is the clear favorite. But to make the event more marketable, the organizers are trying hard to find intrigue in this confrontation. Allegedly, Davis will be very difficult because of Romero’s “uncomfortable” style.
The champion does not agree with this: “Who is inconvenient? I don’t find it uncomfortable. He does not look like an uncomfortable fighter, but like someone who first got into a boxing gym. Well, you know… The dude comes to the gym for the first time, they show him some movements, he tries to copy and suddenly starts to think that he is doing a great job. But in fact, everything is simple – he didn’t get a ****. That’s how Romero fights.”
“I saw uncomfortable boxers, boxed with them. This is different. Romero is not uncomfortable. I don’t want to name names, but the awkward style has nothing to do with him at all. He’s not uncomfortable. What is he? He is a f*cking dumb fighter. And you know what? I’m not trying to be funny or anything like that right now. My God, he’s not a fighter at all. Just a clown. Along the way, he does not understand that I am one of those with whom it is better not to play and not joke … “

Yesterday Davis changed his mind about leaving Mayweather, saying: “I want to dispel some fakes.” In the meantime, Romero promised to clear the box of “a piece of shit” – that’s what he’s talking about Gervont.
