Not fun to watch if the betting odds are not attractive, I also bet if I watch a fight so like to see some odds like KO odds which are attractive.

Gervonta Davis is probably gonna KO Rolando Romero as he has a high kO rate, currently 24/25 or 95%.

We can see their respective records here.

I think this fight was arranged by the TMT or Mayweather Promotions to gradually lift Gervonta Davis into much bigger fight, sadly Rolando Romero is just a stepping stone to Gervonta Davis. Although I can't fully say that this fight is not that fun to watch because of a mismatch.

Surely the odds are on Davis with a record of 25-0 (24 KO) while the young Romero is only half of his opponent's record 14-0 (12 KO). Still this young Romero has an height advantage (5'8") than can defeat Davis with a height of (5'5")

Both fighters have good knock-out percentages, however, Gervonta Davis is a better fighter based on his achievement now, so people would trust him to win in this over his opponent. His opponent is not a champion while he already is the following.

I've checked Romero's previous fights he has a daredevil like style  of boxing and he is really not tested against some of the caliber fighters, he is still young and developing and his manager is in a hurry putting him in a big fight this early, against probably the best knock out artist of this era
this is not good for Romero's very young career, the only advantage for Romero besides his height is his being natural 135,

Surprisingly Teofimo Lopez is putting $100k for Romero to beat Tank Davis, I would not bet for that big amount, Tank has the edge here experience, and power. Tank will knock out Romero because he is careless he has not faced someone like Tank.

The difference is really big when it comes to experience and both of them have an impressive knockout record. Tank Davis is a lot popular to the crowd even in crypto he is already well known here to have favorable odds.

Romero has a promising boxing career, what did he do before this match that it seems like this career is about to crumble? Why is he being matched to Tank Davis that is clearly way above him.

Upset does happen, mate, although Tank Davis is obviously the favorite here, we never know what's gonna happen. Not all undefeated fighters will remain undefeated, and sometimes, a young unknown fighter could pull some surprise, who knows, we might see that in this particular fight.

So please share the betting odds of this fight.

This is how it should be, Davis should fight this kind of boxer where he will beat all of them and make everyone lose their doubt about his power when he will retired in the boxing industry. Romero is not to be underestimated because his record shows everything that he can be one of the hard nights for tank Davis. if they want to prove who is stronger, they need to put everything in the line in this fight and show us some fight we won't forget.

I was surprised with Romero's record and I might say that he's not an underdog here since he has a huge chance to beat Davis easily through his aggressiveness on the ring. However, Davis is his perfect match since they both have shown surprising moves in their previous matches. It will surely be another tough fight.

How can he lift the name of Gervonta if they are fighting no name in the division? Probably this is just a get busy fight for him and wanted to retain the belt if he is not going to defend it this year. So probably chose a easy fight, still the champion.


Davis already proven that he can offset any height advantage of his opponents. He might have problems in the beginning, but once he reads everything, he can close the gap and deliver a knock out punch.

He will be the underdog here, Tank Davis will be the A-side of any fights, unless his opponent his Teofimo Lopez or maybe Ryan Garcia.

Of course Romero will have a chance to win, until he taste Tank's power and retreat. It will be good in paper and then probably in the next early rounds, it will be competitive. And once Romero felt Tank's power and body shot since he is the taller, the complexion of a fight might turn into one lopsided.

After his superior winning against Mario Barrios it will take a sensational boxer to match Gervonta's power and ring generalship, I don't see that on Rolly Romero, he is still not ripe to face a fighter like Davis, Davis can floor and knock his opponent with jabs and he is very good at counter-punching, for a fighter like Romero who is always open while engaging he will be in big trouble he needs an iron chin and a stone body to escape Gervonta's power on both hands.

So he will be going back to LW division and defend his belt against Romero.

Romero though has been calling Davis in social media, so maybe it's time to shut the mouth of this rising prospect. Good money fight for him though, at least even if he losses, he will have a good payday.

But as others said, chances are, Romero will be put to sleep here, maybe an uppercut similar to what Davis gave to LSC.

Skill-wise Romero is an underdog. He (Romero) has a chance to win but not that huge. Gervonta is faster, smarter, stronger, and more agile than Romero and that's based on my personal review on Romero's fight since I haven't seen his fights, while I have been watching some of Gervonta's fight as he always send his opponents to the canvas.
Romero may have some aggressiveness but I don't think he'll make an accurate shot against Gervonta with all those haymakers.

However, I am impressed with Romero's courage to call out one of the big names in boxing in this era. I hope he'll do all he can to back up his words on knocking Gervonta down.

I believe in upsets but with Gervonta and a fighter like Romero who has a very aggressive and open style  I don't think it's possible in this fight, Gervonta is on a trail to greatness have seen knocking out fighters with one punch compared to Romero who took a lot of punch before knocking out his opponents and Romero's style is very awkward has an amateur stance, he is in danger if he punches like he is casting caution to the wind.

And in his last fight, Mario Barrios has the advantage in reach and height, and in the early going, I would say that Davis has a hard time because of Barrios advantage as he is the obvious smaller guy. But his ring generalship and boxing IQ was very good that he was able to negate that and then knock down his opponents not just with the jab, but his straight right and that killer uppercut that floored many of his opponents. I'm not really sure how Romero's chin will hold against a powerful puncher like Davis. But it could be crack by just one timing punch and then he goes down.

I'm speculating a late knockout win by Davis but he should not be overconfident as Romero could hurt him if ever he catches him off guard.

Yeah, good payday ahead for Rollie and even though he will lose this fight, at least he could take some time off and not worry about where he would get money for a year lol.

I agree.

Gervonta Davis bouts are all about being aggressive while having the best defense as well, that's why he did 24 knockouts out of his 25 bouts, while his opponent seems to be a rookie that has a very soft spot weakness that Davis could hit so that he can call the match early as possible. But we still don't know the possibilities but I'll probably go for Davis as an advantage.

Obviously, Davis will win, sorry, bias opinion because I'm a fan of Tank Davis. He will win this fight and it will be added to his KO stats. I am not sure how many rounds his opponent would last, but if Romero is willing to take the risk by making it a toe to toe fight, then probably we will see this fight end early.

I watched Lopez interview about this fight and he is betting Romero will beat Gervonta and he is betting 100 grand for that I don't know if he is that serious and what he sees on Romero and why he is taking Davis for granted, majority will pick Gervonta to win this fight, Romero is just to boastful to think that he can beat Gervonta he will be exposed on this fight.

here is the interview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsvehrAtbBk

Clearly this is a professional boxer, I often watch davis in the ring, davis has a good career in boxing, from 25 fights 24 wins KO, this is awesome, I remember the time Davis vs. veteran JM at that time, it only took 5 rounds to win and so on in the period of continuing to win 8 times in a row without losing.

What I remember most about Davis' opponents back then was: Pedraza, Fonseca, Walsh, Cuellar and many others all KOs.

To be honest, I'm not very active following Romero's boxing, of course everyone has a boxer they are proud of but for this time I bet Davis is my hold, whatever happens.

Teofimo is against Gervonta Davis, so he would not say anything good for Gervonta Davis and betting against Davis, I think his 100 grand will have a big return as  Rolando Romero will surely be an underdog of this fight, with an odds of like x5 or more probably.

his been challenging Davis even before.

 TEOFIMO LOPEZ JR. SAYS GERVONTA DAVIS IS 'SCARED', DARES TANK, DEVIN HANEY AND RYAN GARCIA TO FIGHT HIM (https://www.dazn.com/en-PH/news/boxing/teofimo-lopez-jr-says-gervonta-davis-is-scared-dares-tank-devin-haney-and-ryan-garcia-to-fight-him/1cuqmbyzxk067174ufaat4q211)

Gervonta will probably have the greatest ability there is when it comes to this kind of fight, isn't his endurance a big asset? If so then probably he will probably add Romero to one of his wins. But we can't be too cocky, we might see an upset.

If I look at the statistics, then Gervonta is a clear winner here, at least from the past records. Gervonta is undefeated since last 25 fights with 96% knock out rate. While Ronaldo holds a record of 14 wins and 86% knock out rate.

You can check the below link for useful insights,

https://box.live/fights/davis-vs-romero/

It seems Gervonta is favored by the bookies as well.

Either Romero makes a big win here and make Davis a stepping stone for his career or Davis is going to be the one that's going to stop him on his tracks and continue that winning streak at least for awhile until someone beats him. Davis is a good pick in this one I think that I'm going to place some bets.

yes this is a pro boxing but this one could be compared to pro versus midget. not to look down on romero skills. he is absolutely good base on his record. i'm not sure if i ever heard his name before or the name of his opponent either. but he has serious gap to eat to reach that heights. it would be okay if this is an exhibition fight but this is a real fight.

who ever made this deal hates romero so much. 😁

It's very obvious that Davis is a threat to Lopez that's why he is being on Romero to pull some kind of upset. But we all know how tough Tank Davis is, he is already a multi division champion that I don't think Romero has the tools right now to beat a still improving Davis.

What we wanted to see if that these boxers fight amongst themselves and see who is the best at the 135 lbs weight division.

I love to see Gervonta beat the hell out of this guy, Romero has no respect for Gervonta he just posted this video on Youtube mocking Gervonta and telling him that there is no way this small guy can go near me or touch me, this is very brazen words for a guy who doesn't have the experience or the power to speak of

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGlHWVcbtx0

He is trying to sell the fight mate, don't take it seriously, underdog now just try to win in the battle of words and remember that Romero has not faced a boxer like Tank Davis yet that is already proven a warrior with a high KO percentage. I doubt Romero would last 12 rounds like the previous opponents of Davis, it's either he gets knocked out in the early rounds, or he would KO Davis if he has a good strategy since he also has the power.

Go that is a dream interview, the truth is I don't know how he does it but to bet 10 grand like that! ´To me it is totally crazy! For anyone who is learning or who is very new to boxing, nothing more than seeing the sporting life of Gervonta Davis lets you know that he is a boy with whom you should never talk, however if you take a look at his fights will end up having a unique panic, it is for such a reason that the interview surprises me.

Although this type of bets can change the mind of many bettors, mathematically thinking from a point of view outside of feelings, I would already consider changing my bet to Rolando, if we see him from a mathematical perspective, my security was based on a 50 % security, now with this interview they are giving me 33% in favor of Rolando, does anyone else have this same perception as me?

That's not crazy at all, 10 grand could be huge for us but Lopez is making a lot of money in boxing so he can afford that, Mayweather even bet more than that, and that's the mentality of a gambler. Also, although Tank Davis is the heavy favorite here, but no one could guarantee that he will win in this fight, even himself.

That amount is nothing to high rollers, and we don't know the truth if he will really bet using that amount.
Sometimes it is just to create hype and noise. We will believe if he will post the betting ticket along with the amount.
But if not, don't take that statement seriously. Maybe they are creating some hype for this upcoming fight.
People will talk and that's what they like about this game.

I agree, $10k is just a chump change for this fighters, they have huge money in their bank account.

Mayweather bets $100k and up to any boxing or other sports as we all know that he is the richest fighter in boxing right now. And maybe he will bet even more because that is his prodigy that will be fighting, a cool half a mil or even 1 million is nothing for Floyd.

Because we all favour Davis here, he has the tools and has slowly gaining experience. As compare to Romero who hasn't touch any fighter in the level of Davis.

I like Davis chances on this fight, but a boxer with the power to knock out can pull out an upset, I'm looking at Barrios performance against Davis, Barrios has the power the skills but cannot find a good opening to land his big punches and when he initiates he always get caught by Davis counterpunch, and Romero keeps calling Davis little man, now this is a bad strategy, he is undermining Davis power if he takes that mindset against him, he will be in big trouble. 

i bet for Barrios that day expecting an upset, it was me that's upset by the outcome. luckily we just have to bet small to win big in betting for an underdog. Tank is just too good to make mistake. he knows the value of making his record clean because they are influenced by Floyd.

Romero surely will review that fight. if he sees himself having a chance, he can brag and trash-talk all the time on youtube but it's different inside the ring.

It's okay if they get influenced by Floyd to stay undefeated, but hopefully, no influenced the way he fights in the ring because it's so boring, what's the use of an undefeated record if fans do not want you, boxing is entertainment, so those who entertain the fans should be given more recognition.

Well, in the case of Davis, I'm sure he is not boring because his KO ready is very impressive.

And Davis was the one going up in weight, and many question if he can bring that power to super lightweight. But all questions have been answered when he knocks out Barrios, a natural lightweight. And now Romero calling him little man? LOL, that's any invitation for a knock out. This Romero hasn't proved anything yet and belittling the champion, that's the worst strategy in the books. I wouldn't be surprised is Davis won by a big knockout again.

Things have really changed now, before it's the champion who is talking trash to the challenger, now it's different, it's the challenger that is no anymore humble and underestimates the champion. Maybe it's just a marketing strategy but if it will affect the boxer's emotion, it might fuel him to work harder and go for a KO, which as a fan we like as we benefit from it.

Romero trash talking Davis and like what Plant did to Canelo, I think we will see champions shutting the mouth of thei opponents.

Like always it is the promoters the ones that delay the fights we all want to see that by the point we see them many times the boxers are not on their prime anymore and the fight is nowhere near as good as it could be.

This is what happened with the Mayweather vs Pacquiao, they could have easily created a trilogy of fights but instead we only got one and it was extremely boring to the point no one was interested in watching another one, yes they earned more money in that fight than in any other in the past but they let a lot of money over the table as they only got one fight instead of three.

For a fight that is boring, there's no need to create a trilogy.

It was called the fight of the century and both made a big amount of money in that fight, however, they failed our expectation as Mayweather was able to impose his will and that is by just running and scoring which makes him the boring fighter of all time.

Yes, probably he wanted to get the attention and wanted to fight Davis and he is confident that he can defeat this version of Davis, which we boxing fans doubt.


Boxers do take it personally, like what Canelo is for the Caleb fight. And the same here, Davis will definitely go for the KO because he is capable of, and in essence shut the mouth of Romero and give him a lesson not to trash talk to him and any champion.

The bad thing about this fight was that both fighters agreed that they would never have a rematch, of course Myweather was the one who proposed that to Pacquiao, and Pacquiao because they never have any problem, if they do not want to fight with him for whatever reason he is not going to say that do it if they already worked on it, although to tell the truth, looking at it from a more man-to-man point of view, is that Myweather did not want to fight with him anymore for fear that Pacquiao would beat him, and that boxer places a lot of importance on his reputation, it seems to me that a huge show was killed there.

It seems they hate each other there were circumstances where they almost clash in the street, it's just right that this match is created people love to see bath blood between fighters so they will see if who has the better control of his temper, this Romero is very brazen and arrogant he is telling people that Davis cannot touch, that's impossible Davis is so good at hurting his opponent, even if the opponent has a huge height and reach advantage.

Is that what they are talking about? Saying that this two has history before?

I'm not aware of such clash in the street? Is it when they are still promising fighters or when they are already professional?

In any case, this could be a good story line and maybe this is the reason why the Davis camp chooses Romero instead of chasing the other champion in this division.

If that is true then this would be a nice fight as we will surely a real fight where fighters would give their very best to prove they are the best. It looks like Romero has no respect on the champion, he doesn't respect the KO power of Tank Davis, but let's see if he can handle that in the actual fight.

It was not in the street though, do some research and this is what I found out:


https://www.boxingscene.com/mayweather-ceo-on-davis-romero-better-let-them-fight-ring-street--161163

So why not a better way to finished the animosity between the two but inside the ring. And the good thing is that both fighters are promoted by Floyd himself. So no problem to set up the fight and that what we are getting in December. But I think Romero is still raw talent and he might swallow more than he can chew against a prime Davis.

Ah OK, and since both are being under Floyd's company it make sense that they will somewhat create some hype because eventually they will have to fight it out. So good marketing, I think it was setup by Floyd setup to create hype specially on his new prospect Romero. Because he knows for sure that Davis can knock out this kid, but if Romero upsets Davis, then they can have a rematch. All money goes in to Floyd's pocket.

The statement from the camp of Floyd Mayweather is short and just leaving a statement that the two boxer Davis and Romero just hate each other and with no further details why and what the reason I think there's a hidden reason why the two ended up hating each other. Maybe it is some personal thing or maybe you're right that it's Floyd's company's initiative to make such statement to create hype. And since these two fighters have had an history of nearly fighting in the street then it would better seeing them fighting inside of the ring instead.

Or maybe they have cross paths on Floyd gym many times already, have some kind of heated sparring. And I don't think that anyone can fake his animosity against each other. Rolly should be the one to prove something here and not the other way around. For sure Davis, will just laugh it off saying that there is a competition between the two. Rolly is just an upcoming fighter with less experience, but if he wanted to make a name in this division, they better beat Davis and walk the talk.

Precisely! Or who knows just marketing propaganda so they can sell their tickets easy? Without any debate or disagreement, how can they make noise? So they need to find a way how to sell their fight. We have no idea about their true status in their real life. What we are seeing are just superficial. I will go for Davis here. Romero is the Challenger so let us see how far he can challenge Davis.

Floyd just come up with that story I believed, how can he said that this two has a beef? Unless it goes down as far as their amateur days wherein this 2 will always face in the finals and Davis had Romero's numbers.

So for me this is pure marketing propaganda or Floyd's term, building up both of his fighters, specially Davis who supposedly the heir apparent to his throne.

Still, the fight is interesting to watch since both are undefeated and will not give up easily since they both have clean records. As you can see both of them also have high chances of knocking down their opponent. Only one thing is sure for this fight if they are not a fixed fight, it will not last long base on what we see in their last fight especially Tank Davis when he will see an opportunity to knock his opponent, he won't hesitate to execute him.

Good for Davis bad for Romero, Romero is all talks and hype he is like Wilder he thinks he is invincible, boxing is not only about the power it's also about skill, Davis has a huge edge here he may be short in height and reach but in his last fight he is able to hurt and knock the much taller Barrios, Tyson said you have a plan until you get hit in the face, Romero will soon learn what Wilder learned.

Lol, I love the comparison though, but we should understand where the kid is coming from, he is very young and wanted to make a name for himself in boxing. But calling Davis is far his biggest mistakes in his early career. We all know how good Davis is, he can back all the smack talks because he has all the tools?

How about Romero though? for sure his name is now of the radar for most boxing fans, but he still needs to prove that he belongs to this weight class because this is pretty much stock up division.

It was really stage by Floyd, Rolly might be good, but he needs Romero to be a household name in the US. And what better way but to pit him against his another prospect Gervonta Davis.

And even if Romero loss here, he maybe getting the recognition and down the line he might be given another chance to fight someone for the belt. And if he become a champion then Floyd as a promoter will definitely get big money from this kid.

Floyd is very smart, he would make sure he makes money from his fighter and he would not just easily choose a fighter that he thinks would be his cash cow. This would be a big challenge for  Rolando Romero, but the prize is very high if he beats an undefeated and a KO master comes December 5.

Another video I uncovered, sparring session between Rolando Romero and Ryan Garcia,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEYYDeRGHAA

No doubt that this kid has a bright future in boxing, this video is 4 years old, pre-pandemic. We don't know how much Rolly has improved, but Davis is on another level, more polished and technical boxer than Rolly. You can see the Ryan keeps tagging him with that left hook, but he keeps on coming back. Not sure though if Davis tags him with a powerful left, he might go down.

They are wearing protective gears we have no way of knowing if he can take a punch from a guy who has power on both hands, it's very different wearing when you are wearing protective gear than when you are in a real fight inside the ring, Devonta can floor anyone with just a jab, Romero will pay all the disrespect that he's been giving to Gervonta come fight night.

Well, Romero can't be so open like that when facing against Gervonta because he's most probably going to hit the canvass as for sure Gervonta has a much poweful jab than Garcia's.
That video was 4 years ago anyway, he could've improved this year already, but then again as @Baofeng said, Gervonta is on another level. It would be Rolly's biggest achievement If he can beat Gervonta.

Romero is slow, yes he has the power, but you can see that he needs to pull his trigger first before launching it. As compare to Garcia, who is ready anytime to throw that left hook. So if he is facing a fighter that is much faster than Davis, then he will be tag all night long. I agree that we can see the difference, Gervonta is on another level, elite and only few in the division that can much his speed and power.

He might be slow but he has the power, that's already enough on why this fight is very exciting although some believe that Davis would easily beat Romero in this fight. I guess this will be a battle of real warriors as Romero is also confident that he could knock out Davis, so both fighters will show their aggressive boxing and that will entertain the fans on this fight.

Aggressiveness is not the key on this fight Gervonta has shown patience on all his fight he waits for his opponent to make a mistake and set him up for a huge knock out on his fight against Barrios, Barrios has the height and reach advantage but unfortunately, Gervonta needs to connect one punch to disrupt Barrios strategy, that what's likely to happen in this fight, this fight will only improve Gervonta's record.

Well you can see him always adjusting when Ryan his him with that left hook, it means he is somewhat bothered by the punch, maybe he got sting a bit. Definitely, it's different when you have the protective gear but from the video itself I would say that he is affected by Ryan's power. So just imagine Tank Davis hits him with a left hook square in the chin, it can easily be shattered by the power and he could go down in my opinion.

Sparring sessions are part of the practice only, and there's no way to easily know that a fighter would be as good in the sparring session and in the actual fight. Tank Davis is undefeated and he hits really hard, so I believe no fighter at his weight level would be able to recover if gets hit by his signature punch. However, Rolando Romero has his own style as well, he cannot be understimate but IMO, the better fight here is Davis and he'll win the fight.

What makes Gervonta great in this matchup is the quality of fighters he fought against Romero's resume I don't think he fought quality fighters like Sta Cruz or Barrios, Romero doesn't have big names yet now he is fighting a real big one he's lucky if he wins this fight, Gervonta is the big fighter that he'll face for the first time in his young career.

It was a technical fight and while some can appreciate that it is obvious this is not going to be what people like, just look at the fight between Fury and Wilder which was not technical at all and yet people were very excited about it and many think it is the fight of the year.

In the case of Mayweather vs Pacquiao if the fight had happened a few years before when Pacquiao still had his full speed it would have been way harder for Mayweather to evade as much as he did and the fight would have been more exciting, but obviously Mayweather was not going to fight Pacquiao when he was at his best and that is why the fight was a disappointment.

It's an old video though, maybe Romero has improved since they. What we like though is that he didn't hold up against Ryan Garcia that time, maybe both are just making a name for themselves in 2017, but you can see the potential on Rolly Romero's power. He hit Ryan as well with sold punch and someone has to break them up because the sparring sessions are turning into a true fight.

Again, he might be protecting his chin more in this fight because Davis has the power, but for sure he is willing to engage because he believes that he can knock out Davis too.

^ One thing about this Rolly Romero is that he is not really afraid of anyone in his division.

As per his interview, he said that he will knock out Davis, and he is very confident about it. Maybe they also have some sparring sessions before and see some weakness on Davis. Or he already tastes Davis power already and he can take that.

He also said that he has more power on Davis, but the thing is that Davis is too fast with his hands with Romero is somewhat always looking for a one punch ko.

What do you expect? This is part of the strategy to sell the fight but we can always look at their previous fights and see who is better between the two. Based on the record, it's obviously Tank Davis who is better but Romero is going to be a good challenger, so the chance for an upset is possible and I'm glad that he's been hype by some boxers betting on him, hopefully, he will not fail our expectation.

Of course, and based on the record, Tank Davis is almost unbeatable in most of his fights, and his record is very impressive which has 25 wins and 96 of the fights are won by KO. I think that record alone would already tell how good this fighter is, and for Rolando Romero to match Tank Davis, he has to have a solid chin and a strong stomach so he can last in a toe to toe battle.

Wait Buds , 96 fights? he only has 25 career fights and won 24 by Knockout so where did that come from? sorry I'm curious as this is His Wikipedia record.

https://i.imgur.com/XzDcR4u.png

but i agreed on that as This is a Monster inside the ring and Romero may face a sudden loss in this one , Hope he can go against this monster in fair fight.

You have a type error the 96 should be 24 knock out, I agree Tank is a monster his monicker is right he is indeed a tank he can ram anybody in the ring, as for Romero this is the first time that his chin and body will be tested but another big thing that will be tested on Romero is his defense, his offense is good but his defense is questionable.

I agree, he always talk about his power, but can he also play defense?

Tank Davis shows that he can have a good defense in the Barrios fight and one thing that goes with him is that he has a good chin, never been crack in all of his fights. So we will see how Romero will react if he gets tag by Davis, left hook or body punch, for sure he will feel those punches as Davis has power in both hands. And if ever he got knock down or knock out here, then the hype is over for Romero.

Defense is one of the most important in boxing, no one can be successful by simply relying on his power, look at Wilder, his defense is weak although he has the power, so he never won a single fight against Fury who was the smarter boxer and who played defense very well. In this fight, we know who is better in defense although we must say that Rolly also has the power.

Has anyone reading this loud trash talking from Romero about knocking Davis down in round 1?
https://www.badlefthook.com/2021/10/20/22735859/rolando-romero-predicts-first-round-knockout-gervonta-davis-next-fight-showtime-boxing-news-2021 (https://www.badlefthook.com/2021/10/20/22735859/rolando-romero-predicts-first-round-knockout-gervonta-davis-next-fight-showtime-boxing-news-2021)

According to this article, this is his statement.

Who doesn't love to see a guy who talks too much but ends up on kissing the canvass?
Well, If this is just for hype then I can say it's lame, I hope Davis would take this statement personally and strive to knock this loud mouth kid down, in round 1 If necessary lol.

^^ Who wouldn't love that? Lol.

Yes, there are even some videos as well with Romero talking about how he have the power and going to knock the f*** out of Davis in their fight.

I guess they really learn everything from Floyd himself. But at least Floyd can back it up, but this Romero hasn't prove anything a bit. We haven't heard his name before though, so now he is making a lot of noise and maybe he can get some fans that will hate him.  ;D

He learns from his master, lol.. but this fight is the best chance for him to get known to the boxing community, beating Davis who is currently a champion and undefeated will have a big impact on his career and he will get bigger fights in the future, so he has to train hard and focus on making a strategy to beat Davis.

Romero is the new Adrien Broner he is all talks narcissist and wants to claim greatness even though he is still not reached greatness he is not a legitimate champion hasn't fought any good fighter he is lucky he is fighting a fighter like Gervonta, that's his only chance for greatness, unfortunately, he is going to lose and his journey will end and so is his being narcissist.

He needs to create noise for his name and doing that he needs to act like his boss; we do expect things like this inside the boxing world there are many fighters who loves creating news to excite the fans, Romero is not new in dealing with this kind of advertisement, we know who's behind the man but he needs to win in order to prove himself and to build a good career to make more money.

We will going to witness another event where Champ is being threatened by his challenger. Davis needs to prove that he still the defending champ and he will not allow anyone to take his belt from him.

Lol, and what happen to Adrien Broner now? he is no longer relevant in boxing, that supposedly "About Billions" is not that active and have a court case pending against him. Hopefully the young Romero will not fall like this. He has a bright future, but please stop being narcissist because it's going to bite him in the ass for sure when Davis knocks him out.

Broner was great in his early stage as a professional boxer, but after he lose against Maidana, he was exposed and not the same anymore. He became more popular when he fought Manny Pacquiao and claim that he clearly won that fight, the guy was a clown. There was a rumor that Broner is still going to have a fight, but it's all lost now.

Compared to Romeo, I think they are different as Romeo has not suffered a defeat yet.

Anyone see the heated face-off between the two?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6zs8vkkaVA

There are words thrown against each other, I can't read lips but for sure you know what those guys are saying, LOL.

Romero though with that swag,  ;D definitely the face off has added spark and hype in this fight.

I don't want to compare him to AB though, Broner is trash and once he tasted defeated, he was never the same again. And as if he can't take a L in his career and wanted to be the next Floyd but it didn't happen.

Rolly has the power to back up his talks, but early in his career it seems "to bite off more than one can chew". You can't just trash talk his way against Davis because he is the B-side here.

That's why he is trying to be an A-side, but it will not happen if he cannot win a big upset against Davis.

We have seen some impressive wins by Davis, so who is this Rolly guy by the way? he just came into the picture and disrespect the champion, he should be punished comes the fight night and let's see how hard Davis will go on him.

On their face-off, I thought Romero is very much taller than Gervonta but he is only three inches taller than Gervonta compared to Barrios who is 5 inches taller, I don't know what Romero is saying that Davis can't get in because he is so small when in fact he's been beating fighters taller, longer and powerful than Gervonta, but one thing I like about Romero is how he sells the fight by making people believe that he can beat Gervonta, Rolly and his trainers are taking to much on what they can chew they are all talks.

Well, he is good at selling his fight but if it's just all talk, then eventually he will be exposed and will lose popularity. Everytime a challenger fights a champion who is undefeated, there's always a risk that they will fail and will start at the beginning again, in the case of Romeo, he is undefeated too so he is confident, but if he loses in this fight, he understands that it will take time to get big fight like this again.

That is normal for most boxers, to sell their fight, they need to say something to create attention from the media. As long as you are not hitting below the belt, that's fine. In this age, you need something to talk about in order to generate income. But for Romero, he really needs to prepare because Davis is not an easy opponent.

I agree mate, and him talking about his d**k bigger than Davis "T-rex" arms? Lol, it was really a funny comment that he is not that tall. Barrios was really tall and look how how Davis strategically break him down eventhough he is the bigger guy. And then knock the hell out of Barrios. It's gonna be a rude awakening if Romero tastes Tank's power and he might shell up the whole fight.

Did he really said that? that was so disrespectful and we don't know how Davis took that. Definitely he took offense on it, but just wondering what will be his comeback statements since Romero is not that tall. I saw one video on Davis saying that they have some sparring as well. And maybe there's where the beef come from according to him. Anyhow, we will see what's going to happen this December as we may see someone getting knockout here as these two has power in both hands.

^^ Doesn't matter if he trash talks or attacks Davis short hands. That hand will going to be his biggest problem with they fight obviously. Davis as just talking to eat that insult and will laugh it off. Remember Ryan Garcia saying Davis is ugly live with they talk face time? Davis was just cool and against didn't take it seriously as he knows that it's part of boxing now. He himself says something to Romero as "bitch" or something. LOL.

I also thought that he is somewhat taller, but I will say that they are almost the same height, maybe because of the shoes and the coat that he looks like taller that Davis, but he is not. And that's Tank strength in my opinion, people are talking about his height and they they underestimate him. Just like Manny Pacquiao's previous opponent, they say he is midget and only have the left hand. But he all give them a brutal beating.

Being a boxing fan for a long time I already used to watch face off where fighters are looking down their opponents small and talking shit on their face but I think those talking shits with each other adds up to the spice of the upcoming fight. I mean, I don't know if they are having personal issues towards each other or they just wanted to make their opponents pissed off. However, talking about Davis and Romero, both are good fighter but Davis has a lot more advantage compare to Romero disregarding height and short arm because tank strength is what I saw in his past fights.

If you speak taller, yes Romero is taller than Tank. And that's no excuse because we look at the history of Manny Pacquiao who was small but capable of beating taller and bigger opponents.
and the problem of taller height is always a reason to be underestimated and believed to be an opportunity to win, in fact technique and hand strength and speed will mean more in the ring, and Tank has a dangerous left hand.

The most effective davis to win was originally promoted as a competition for small hand attacks, with competitors of different fighting styles fighting against each other in relatively few rule competitions. Later individual fighters incorporated multiple davis into their style there was pressure to adhere to the rules and to adopt additional rules to expand the mainstream acceptance of the sport following these changes, the sport has grown in popularity with every view business that rivals boxing and professional wrestling.

There has been a lot of bad blood going on with this match up, and I'm starting to think this is just a part of the stage to hype up the fight and sell more tickets and ppv's.
Though this could be an act, the kind of trashtalking could become personal. I don't know, but it's always better If the trash talking was geniun lol.
Best boxers doesn't necessarily need to make a noise to sell the fight, they actually do the talking in the ring during the fight night.

Speed and determination to win. Height advantages are a plus but not a guarantee, like how you mentioned Pacquiao.

during his prime, He's not afraid of anyone even the opponent is way taller than him as long as they are fighting in same division
that fight is okay with Manny, same deal with other fighters.

It's a good inspiration beating opponent who's good at trash talking, fans will really buy the fight and will enjoy once
Davis beat Romero inside the ring.

In the case of Romero he is barking at the wrong tree I have never seen Davis' opponents talking this way as if they have the edge against Gervonta this fight will sell on three points because people want to see Gervonta fight, second they see the excitement on the this fight because both fighters are undefeated and three they want to see action and knockouts, both fighters can deliver a knock out blow, let's see who can connect first.

Romero is just making a noise by attacking Davis with his trash talking which is actually an old strategy because Floyd and other boxers are already doing it. I guess it would be better if he'll walk the talk and prove that he could bit Davis easily. He still has a lot to prove on the ring.

Being good at trash-talking is what the character of Mayweather he can teach to Romero, but he can also learn how to play the right defense as Mayweather is really good at that, with the high KO ratio of Tank Davis, I guess Romero need to learn how to play a good D.

He has to learn both, but he should be aggressive at the same time as well because if not, Davis will just exploit his weakness and Davis will be more confident thinking he can easily knockout Romeo. Trash talking adds some spice to the game, it makes the fans more involved with their speculation based on what the boxers are showing, and with that said, I think we should be thankful that it does not make the fight boring.

That is some very low level of trash talking, now everyone wants to be like Ali, but if you take the time to listen to what he said you will notice he was funny and witty and sometimes he even composed poems to his opponents, that is how you knew he was way more than the great boxer he was above the ring, and even more importantly you know he fulfilled his promises as he often won when he said he would.

This is just a bunch of insults to his opponent and just like you say this is just alienating the fan base, which will most likely not support him and instead would like him to lose the match in a spectacular fashion.

^ And that's where the money will come in, fans that hate him and wanted to see him lose specially against Tank Davis who he so much disrespected coming into this fight.

There could have been real beef between the two, but Davis insisted that there is none and he really don't know why Romero is really mad or hostile towards him. Maybe he just wanted to have that belt so much and become a champion and he thinks that he can knockout Tank. So we will see if he can bring that trash talk in the fight or just another hype boxer.

The promoters love this one, seeing fans to interact with trash talks,.

Interest to buy and watch the live broadcast will bring more cash on the table, nothing personal but they need to do something like
this to get the fans' attentions, generating a good amount of audiences.

Hopefully, we will see a decent fight between these two fighters and not a boring one that only intends to get the money and nothing
to be enjoyed.

We can expect a decent fight since both fighters are serious with their goal to score a KO.

Davis himself is a knockout artist, so if he wins, he should have a Knocked out win, and if what would happen is the other way around, it's also interesting to see how Davis will struggle against Romero which I highly doubt would happen.

The fight will not push through anymore


This is very disappointed this has the making of a great fight and both fighters are serious about making a good fight, I wonder who would take the place of Romero.

Romero is lucky he will not get knock out in December 5

Yea, looks like this is true ==> https://www.badlefthook.com/2021/10/30/22754467/report-rolando-romero-likely-out-gervonta-davis-showtime-pbc-seeking-replacement-boxing-news-2021

If someone must replace Rolando Romero .. it must be Isaac Cruz with 24 fights and 15 knockouts (knock-out ratio is 68%)  ;)  His only loss was against Luis Miguel Montano and that was way back in 2016-02-06.  :D

Isaac Cruz nicknamed Pitbull is a stocky and hard puncher he loves to engage but I doubt he can take Gervonta's power it will be easy for Tank to connect because he is not backing down and is always on the attack, but let's see who will be the best pick of the promotion it should be someone of Romero's caliber, they cannot just pick anybody the fans wants a good fighter that can match Gervonta's power.

they need to find a replacement fast as it will be unfair to davis' opponent as training session may not be enough for him. but i guess, some boxers are already used to this last minute replacement. the odds may heavily favoured on davis as he will be the boxer that will be prepared on this bout. but who knows, even a replacement can pull off an upset just like ugas on pacquiao? i lost by the way on this match.

Yes, he might be that good, but he is no Rolly Romero and I'm sure Tank's power will take over this match and maybe we can see another knock out for him.

As for Rolly Cruz, that's too bad, he should have been more careful, but I guess these boxers are really that aggressive, and now with this case, he losses his money and chance to be recognised if he beat Davis.

Multiple sexual assaults is a serious offense and they have done the right thing taking out Romero although there's a risk of losing revenue, Tank can face anybody in that division but it should be someone with a good record and reputable, Romero is not yet facing any crime but one woman who accuses him will give his statement to the police so she can file a formal complaint.

Since the match is officially off, might as well lock this thread.

It is being reported that Isaac Cruz will be the replacement opponent for Tank Davis' next fight.

Good, at least Davis has find a replacement and will still be busy this December and will have a fight against Isaac Cruz.

But I think we will have the same results here, might be good for several rounds as we all know that Mexicans are all warriors. But once Davis, find his weaknesses, he will exploit it and goes for a knock out here.

OP or FinneysTrueVision, should change the picture and description of the thread I'm still seeing Romero and the description is still Romero, it's not going to be excited now that Romero is out the two have bad blood with each other and their first conference generates excitement because of their trash-talk, Isaac Cruz is good but not on the league of Tank, Tank will still a heavy favorite on this fight.

I honestly would have rather seen the fight vs Rolly, I still think Tank would have won. But this Cruz guy seems one or two levels below. Cruz has been really impressive in his fights to date. I didn't know about him until about a year ago but following him lately I have been impressed  on all levels. Kinda think Tank might get surprised in the ring.

Davis is a young good fighter I have seen some of his fights, he has good tactics in fighting. Romero actually I can't really give account of him, this fight coming up will make me know what he's up to, I'll be waiting to see who is tough .

Both boxers are good enough but I think it will be Jervonta Davis who wins. And it's not just bookmaker odds. Compared to Isaac Cruz he has more experience and he is still undefeated. Also his boxing style literally puts pressure on his opponent. I don't think Isaac Cruz can withstand that pressure.

He did change the title though.

But in any case, this will still be Tank in my opinion, it could have been a good fight if it is Rolly as there are blood bath and history between the two. But Rolly has some personal issues to settle first.

As for Isaac, I agree, he might be good, but not in the level of Tank as of right now.

Tank is the champion and held the belts in 2 division already, so he has the experience and specially the power to knock out Isaac Cruz in this fight.

He's not called Pitbull for nothing, this guy always goes all out and loves to slug it out he is small but terrible, but against Tank, he could be in trouble, Tank loves to counter punch and when he sees an opening he unloaded his bomb, I'm 100% sure there will be knock out on this fight and many will favor Tank will win the fight via knock out because Cruz tend to be careless and this is the kind of fighter Tank wants, always moving and not afraid to engage.

I see this like a Porter vs Crawford where Porter loves to attack but Crawford is very smart to prepare for a counter so the fight ended in a KO. Nowadays, boxers should not only rely on their power, they also need to play the right defense as they might fight against a fighter with good offense and defense, and that's what happen to Mike Tyson also when he faced    Lennox Lewis who play good defense by throwing a good jab and just makes Tyson tired until he got him KO.

I will take a complete fighter over someone that just knows how to throw some punches every single time, if anything any kind of fighting system that you employ concentrates the most on how to defend yourself properly while giving you the ability to neutralize your opponent, and boxing is no exception to this, and what better example than the Fury-Wilder trilogy that we saw, Wilder was by far the best puncher but since Fury was way better at the remaining boxing skills then he is the one that won the trilogy.

There's a saying in boxing style makes the fight, the best fight to see are fighters with the same style of attacking where their offense is their defense, people are paying to watch for action, not a hit and run type of fighting, that is why the likes of Tyson, Pacquiao, and Canelo are the most-watched fight, in the case of Tank he knows when to defense, to attack and to counter-attack, he is a complete boxer for me and Issac Cruz is in big trouble.

I would love to watch this young guys fight , i have not been following up on boxing. This is the first time  I am seeing  this guys so I don't have any review about them. But I am not going to miss it . Anticipating .

You can always watch their highlights on youtube, for sure you will find a lot especially for  Gervonta Davis who is a very popular boxer.

Also, their individual record can be checked below.

https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/643387
https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/714366

Definitely agreed here, Cruz is experienced, though and aggressive style which make he looks like Porter. Davis has a very high KO'ed chance and remain undefeated. Well the most reason why an underdog should play aggressive since the judges will vote the one is dominating the ring, probably he's looking to win with split decision but his stamina aren't enough to survive for 12 rounds.

However it will be interesting if Davis will won with KO like Crawford...

He'll definitely win by a knock out it could be early if Cruz opens up his defense, I saw Cruz fighting and style and it's a kind of style that can easily open the defense, and with Davis precision to deliver a bomb he'll be in trouble, he cannot fight the way he fought all his past opponents, he should be technical, Tank is not a punching bag that will just receive punches, it all goes now on how strong Cruz chin and body, something all Tanks opponents cannot take.

I really like Jervonte Davis's fighting style, he really crushes his opponents like a tank. I support your point of view, the fight will end up as a knockout. I'm glad that Gervonta Davis's opponent is Isaac Cruz and not Rolando Romero, who seems to be a weaker opponent.

With 22 fights and only 1 loss, he is a good match for  Gervonta Davis because he is also an aggressive fighter which most boxers like to see in the ring. Davis is a kind of fighter who loves a challenge, so we should expect to see another great win by  Gervonta Davis before the end of the year.

Gervonta Davis is very impressive with 24 KOs from 25 wins, he can add this to his KO record.

Impressive record indeed but I'll take the risk of betting for him to win via decision. The Pitbull is a very live underdog IMO but I think he will still lose but not in a brutal fashion as most of his fights lasted the distance.

Wonder, why people have not been talking about this fight as Davis, is one of the aces in this division.

Hope someone will post a link on the live stream of this fight.

https://i.imgur.com/sdpD6in.jpg

davis is clearly the favourite of bookies here. but - but in case this will be another upset in boxing history this year,  those who took their chance to bet on cruz will be big winners for this fight.
even the money line for will the fight go the distance has very good odds, at 4.70 -yes in stake.
and if you can't find the free live streaming link, maybe just check the online blogs of sports analysts, the round per round happenings and you will get the idea who's leading the fight.

Oh we totally forget about this fight of Tank because Isaac Cruz is just a replacement.

But there are reports that Tank shoves Isaac after they make weight, maybe it was to hype the fight.

Tank is 12:1 favourite here, and I doubt that there will be an upset in this match. Davis by knock out for me, although the odds might not be very attractive.

This is a huge risk on your part mate, best of luck, we all know that Davis has been winning by knock out early so we don't know if Cruz chin is going to hold against the power of Davis.

People are not making noise about this fight because of his opponent Cruz, he is a no name in the division.

We also have have another big fight in the 135 lbs, Haney vs Diaz Jr. So it will be interesting if the winner will face each other.

It wasn't as good as I expected or wanted it to be. The fight was all about Haney target practicing on Diaz Jr. Diaz wasn't letting go of his hands. He was good in his defense. He should be given credit for it but defense cannot win a fight, not in a boxing match. You have to throw away your hardest punches to win. Haney wasn't really a heavy puncher and Diaz was well absorbing those but it was not enough to just not get hurt if he wasn't also making points either.

I was not surprised by the result, Haney was a boxer with no power and he can't knock out anyone in this division, scores where (116-112), (117-111), (117-111).

Anyhow I thought that the Davis vs Cruz is over, I checked about the shoving incident:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2rnKE_lMnc

Lol, it's like in bodybuilding, one flexing his muscle and the other one, doesn't want to be undone. It is also interesting the Davis is taller than the Pitbull in this fight.

By the looks of it, Kambosos vs Haney is a go, at least from what we saw on the post-fight interview of Haney and Kambosos.

If Davis wins his fight against Cruz, I think he will still fight a no-namer as usual.

Floyd should let his fighter fight whoever Davis wants and not cherry-pick like what he did to his career.

Floyd is good at making a career of any boxer by cherry-picking his opponents he doesn't want his cash cow to lose and he did not believe that Tank Davis can beat anybody, he wants Davis to thread the road that he went through, that is why he always says he wants to keep everything in house, which means he doesn't have anything to do with other promotions champion's and this is to bad for boxing in general.

But Davis is really good as a boxer, actually, I have no idea that Floyd is his promoter. I know some of us here do not like Floyd, but, I respect him because he is good, he doesn't cherry-pick as he fought Canelo and Pacquiao and beat them, what I don't like is his boring boxing style.

So it will be Haney vs Kambosos next? weird, but I think Kambosos take this one.

For Davis and if he wins against a no name in Cruz tonight, and if he continues to cherry pick or at least Floyd does for his young protegee, he won't get the respect that he wanted. Sure he was a great champion, but fighting bums won't surely get his name on top even if his records are without a loss so far. And critics won't give him the credit that he deserves.

I agree Gervonta gain big respect from the boxing community should fight Haney or Kambosos, there are a lot of big fights that we want to see in the lightweight division, these fighters boxers should fight each other, Ryan Garcia, Daven Haney, and Gervonta Davis, and resolve once and for all who is the real kings in that weight division, not only engaging on talks but a fight in the ring.

Unfortunately this is not something that can be maintained long term as a strategy, the division is full of talent and if he keeps fighting people that have no chance against him then people are going to notice, however if the strategy is to let others fight a bunch of difficult fights, retain his title and then just try to beat one of those fighters in an unification fight then that could be a smart strategy, but that is risky, and that will not give him as much money as he could get if Davis actually fought with the best the division can offer.

It all boils down to business as they say, he needs to maintain his status so he is fighting boxers not name Haney, Ryan Garcia and now George Kambosos (since he dethroned Lopez). That's the blueprint of Floyd's success and Floyd fights big names, it seems they already beat up each other before he fought them, so they are soften. So maybe that's what the strategy is for Haney, let Haney and Garcia and other champions beat each other up before he fights them.

You are kidding, right? When you said you don't know that Floyd Mayweather is Davis's promoter when this is not something new within the boxing ecosystem.
Is not that people hate Floyd, I am personally his fan but I think boxing fans are tired of fighting where the match seems to fix (the Champion going after the fighter people know are easy for him to beat).

That's how business is being run now, promoters are investing in their boxers so they are protecting them, and as much as possible they will get a fight that they think they have an advantage and at the same time would sell to the crowd. Mayweather is just so smart in doing that because as a boxer and as a promoter, he is a very successful person.

Floyd wants his boxers to be polished before fighting big names, so far Gervonta is doing great he has a pure talent in Gervonta and this guy is his cash cow and top boxer in his promotion I don't think he will risk Gervonta fighting fighters that will give him a run for his money yet, the Rolly Romero fight is an interesting fight compared to this one, Romero has a better chance than Isaac and it's another win for Gervonta at the end of the day.

So do you think Mayweather is not cherry picking here? If he knows they have very good advantage, the reason why they chose this fight. Anyway, putting money on Davis but on the over/under category. If this will be another upset in boxing, curious what will be the reaction of Mayweather here...

Issac Cruz will have a hard time against Gervonta Davis, but I never rule out an upset, we've just got a huge upset last week, it's possible to happen again, if there's an upset here I will consider this as the biggest upset of the year, probably much bigger than the Kambosos - Lopez fight, if Isaac can take Davis punches then we are in a big surprise.

I agree though that people hate Davis because of Floyd, simply as that. But for the record though, he fought a very new Canelo, actually it was the first time that we heard the name of Canelo that time, because if was his first time he fought in the US. We know that Floyd vs Manny is long overdue and Pacquiao that time has shoulder injury (no excuses but just telling the facts).

Now though boxing fans are more smart, they only appreciate boxers who fought the best in their division and they don't care if a fighter has 0 lost. Manny was appreciate even though he has a lot of lost because he fought everyone.

What was actually surprising was the compubox's counting of punches and those that landed. I was surprised how close it was but if you look at the fight, it seems it was all Haney. Diaz was not throwing at all.


I agree. That fight is already a done deal. But that's only as far as the two fighters are concerned. They seem to be interested in facing each other in Kambosos' home court. Haney didn't find any problem with it.

Let's see how their respective handlers deal with this.

Was endlessly looking for a live feed on Facebook for hours until I found this one enjoy the fight hope to see exciting fights here

The last link was taken down and have replaced it now, hopefully, it will not be taken down

https://www.facebook.com/watch/live/?ref=search&v=628490255008919

I reckon that this might be one of those fights where we can rule out an upset. This might be 90% less of an upset compared to Lopez’s loss versus Kambosos hehe. Similar to what @bisdak has said, Lomachenko was the only boxer with a name in Lopez’s list of wins. There were also mentions of a shoulder injury on Lomachenko’s shoulder during that fight.

Also, Isaac might not take Gervonta’s punches. The fight might be over with a knockout from Gervonta in 7-9 rounds. He will certainly have the motivation to make his win better than Haney’s fight to attract the attention of the promoters and negotiate to give him the next opportunity to challenge Kambosos.

I don't think that Isaac can take Gervonta punches so I'm seeing less than 7 rounds for Davis and scored a knock out win. As his nickname, Pitbull Isaac doesn't play defence and all he do is attack his opponents relentlessly and that will be costly for him against Tank, he might be caught with a left hook like in Leo Santa Cruz fight.

Well, we all know that Haney is pillow fisted anyways, that's why he make it by being more technical, but it's not always going to win against a fighter with heavy handed such as Davis or Ryan Garcia. And his fight is another snoozer, he won though so that's the more important thing for him right now.

What a fight for both fighters and I think Isaac Cruz doesn't give up easily on his defence until now his face still intact and in good condition. Nut looking at the unofficial scorecard, he is losing the fight because Davis seems to hit him clean and giving him hard time to get an easy shot in the body. Looks like they're just afraid of unleashing their power because both of them can hit a turning counter shot if given a chance.

It appears I very much underestimated Isaac Cruz. This Mexican moves like Mike Tyson and he has a great chin. He also fighting more impressively than Gervonta Davis. I think none of Haney and Gervonta deserves to challenge Kambosos for all those championships if Lomachenko wins his fight versus Commey impressively. I am honestly wishing that Isaac Cruz will win this. This is a very good performance.

I'm also underestimated Isaac Cruz too, Isaac Cruz is very impressive in this fight, Davis connected big punches that have knocked out his past opponents, Davis is very technical in this fight he is really a student of Mayweather he knows how to duck those punches and counter punches, he is getting better, Davis needs this kind of fight to show his technical side, he will be facing boxers who are technical in the future like Haney.

Well everyone underestimated Cruz, as we thought that it will be an easy fight for Davis and he will just knock out this guy. And for the record, it was the first time that Davis was extended to full 12 rounds and didn't knock out his opponent out so credit to Isaac for that.

And Davis said that he has broken his left hand in the fifth that's why he wasn't able to knock him out. Maybe it was a testament on how touch Isaac Cruz as we didn't see that he can stand the power of Davis.

No, I'm not, sorry about that. It's just that I'm not interested in Floyd and don't usually bother who promoted a certain fighter until I read it here, but now I know, so I thank those who give me that information.

I don't hate Floyd but not his fan, I just don't like his style in boxing but sometimes I do bet on him, and guess what? I also won because he never lose. Floyd makes you profitable when betting because he is very smart and could dominate his opponent.

can't access the link mate ,  maybe it was taken down already , i am betting for Davis to win this one though Isaac is a tough opponent and really hard to bring down.

anyone who can share live feeds now? i really wanted to watch the fight lol .

Ryan Garcia belittles Tank for his very hard win against Cruz


Both Garcia and DeLa Hoya want Tank Davis we'll see if there is a development on this.

This is a hard match for Tank I don't want to say that he was  exposed but many people especially Ryan Garcia thinks Davis is not really invincible, after Ryan call Tank it's up to Mayweather now if he agrees for Davis to fight Garcia next

Here is the related article

Ryan Garcia Calls Out Tank Davis, Says He “Almost Lost” To Isaac Cruz (https://www.boxingnews24.com/2021/12/ryan-garcia-calls-out-tank-davis-says-he-almost-lost-to-isaac-cruz/)

Ryan Garcia has been belittling Davis for quite some time now. I remember even calling Tank "ugly" during the Mike Tyson podcast.

Of course, everyone has a week point, maybe Tank underestimate Cruz because he was a replacement fighter and he didn't know about the tough Mexican mofo. And yes, he confirmed that he broke his left arm. But Cruz is really durable and take everything want Davis throws and he was able to hit Davis too.

And as per CompuBox, yeah, Ryan is right, it was very close fight as Davis only landed 12 more punches than Cruz.

Isaac Cruz is really a tough nut to crack if Ryan thinks that Davis is weak why not fight Isaac Cruz next for his next fight, Ryan is all talk and no action he wants to fight Kambosos next but when the deal has been made he is always back out for many reasons, Gervonta can beat Ryan Garcia, Garcia is an overrated boxer he has never faced a real champion, hopefully, next year we'll see both fighters, fighting inside the ring.

That's interesting. Davis vs Garcia will attract more interest if this fight will be pushed after Davis finished Cruz.

Garcia needs to step up and face real fighters, a kind of breed that has the capabilities to knock him down,
A good test for him to prove his title.

I'll look forward if ever there's a push that will call for this match up..

He almost lost to Isaac Cruz but the judges scored a UD in favor of Davis, look like the judges are paid.

I guess Ryan Garcia has a huge chance of winning against Tank Davis as he has the power, and as we have seen in this fight,  Isaac Cruz also hit Davis but he doesn't have the power to knock him down. IMO, Tank Davis is exposed in this fight and Ryan Garcia sees it that's why he calls for him.

Big win for you bro. Congrats.

Much like Devin Hany, Tank Davis failed to impress. I would rather see Loma get the opportunity to fight Kambosos next since he is the only one who has really put in the work and is always challenging the best available fighters.

Out of Davis against any of the top lightweights would be great. I could see him potentially losing to Haney and Garcia but I can also see him knocking them out. None of them really stands out from the rest. It's time for Floyd to take off Tank's training wheels and put him in a fight where he isn't so heavily favored.

Not going to happen, I really think that Davis and Floyd are reading how the division is moving to perfection, they are seeing that the division is about to have many of its champions facing each other, so instead of being part of it they may decide to stay away from the action for the time being and only fight one unification fight against whoever is still standing, this way they get a huge fight but at the same time they do not risk what they have built.

This is a controversial fight, I think there should be a rematch so Tank Davis can prove clearly that he really won the fight. IIRC, his promoter Floyd had a fight with Maidana before and the fans are not happy with the judges' decision, so Mayweather gave him a rematch and beat Maidana in the rematch convincingly. For me, that's the best way to silence the people who doubt his victory in this fight.

Thanks mate, I never expected too much of that ticket as we all knew how powerful of a puncher Davis is but things like that usually happen in boxing.

Davis'performance last night is not so impressive but I think he has done enough to get that W and maybe it is time for him to fight Haney or Kambosos next.

So, it would be Loma's turn next week to take center stage and try to impress the fans which I do think he will as usual.

It's a heavy insinuation to say that the judges look like they are paid. I think it was clear enough that Davis won over Cruz. In fairness to the judges, their scorecards suggest that the fight was close enough. One judge gave 116-112 while the other two gave 115-113.

Ryan Garcia must be the favorite fighter if he will face Tank Davis. It could even end in a knockout in favor of Garcia.

Because the fight was so close, his rivals are mocking him, among them Devin Haney, Ryan Garcia, and of course the one who should be in the ring with him Rolly Romero, they all think that Gervonta was exposed, Tank is always Tank he will find ways to knock you out but on this fight, he suffered an injury that prevents him from giving his best shot, and Isaac Cruz come very much prepared in this fight.
I hope to see Gervonta fighting on any of these three, Garcia, Romero, or Romero  next year, I still believe Tank is the better fighter of the four

Though i am also not favor of the outcome of this fight yet it is not enough reason to believe that the judges are paid, they have scored closely and meaning by any chance Davis is indeed almost lost in this fight .

This is the one we are waiting , to Davis facing Garcia as this will also a close fight same as this recent bout against Cruz.

but this time this will be tougher i think .

Tank Davis said in the post fight interview that he won't give Cruz a rematch, so scrap that idea.

And I don't think that Davis will fight any of the champions for now, maybe they will wait for a bit till they beat each other.

So it might be Haney vs Kambosos next, and then maybe Loma will be the next in line.

Not sure about Ryan Garcia, he was supposed to fight Javier Fortuna last July, so maybe that will still be in effect when he comes back.

It is not that people hate Davis because of Mayweather but they hate the fact that Mayweather is making him walk in his own path of fighting the weak opponent in his division.
Yes, boxing fans are smart but we still have some die-hard fans who will appreciate Mayweather for fighting the weak opponent.


I also don't hate Mayweather, I'm since fan but that don't stop from saying the fact about his doing cause I'm never in support of every boxer that didn't give us a real fight just like in the prime of Mike Tyson.

Since Davis is under Mayweather's promotions, they will likely look for bigger fights with bigger pay. If Davis said that he won't give a re-match, for sure, they are already thinking of the next opponent here. But if in case, there's high following of Davis-Cruz re-match, I guess, Davis camp will re-think about it. But for now, high likely that the next match is not for Cruz. Just hope that they will not cherry picking here, in favor of Davis.

But the thing is that Mayweather is protecting Davis, his cash cow and that's why he doesn't see him fight big names? Rolly Romero? Isaac Cruz?

He should get real challenges so that he will not just get bigger paycheck, but respect from boxing community. But as his boss, Floyd, doesn't care about that legacy or respect, as long as he has no loss he/they believed that they are the best.

You can argue that they can't get decent opponents because of Davis power, true, but in this fight, he has shows weakness and even broke his hands.

Indeed, the fight was so close. It is ironic that after the fight, the winner was kinda mocked and the loser kinda praised. That's funny. But I'm one of those who are giving a lot of props to Cruz and a little misgiving on the ability of Davis. Davis was indeed exposed on that fight. He somehow failed a lot of expectations and indeed made a surprise to his solid fans who are anticipating a rather explosive show of their man. Cruz, on the other hand, has earned a lot of respect from his loss. Not to mention that he faced Davis on short notice. People are looking forward to his next fight.

I think Garcia is the best among the three that you mentioned.

Agreed in rematch because the fight is a typical Tie for me but since the judges decided in favor of Davis then questions comes from the supporters  of Isaac and those who bet against Davis.

But since Davis denied the chance of rematch then there will nothing to expect in this fight .

Lets Hope that this will never add same fight outcome to which they will face in the future because it is frustrating from other part.

Davis has the right to say no because he won this fight via unanimous decision, yes, it looks questionable but he is the champion and Cruz as a challenger has to make sure he will give a convincing win, the best way to do that is by knocking down Davis which he can't do. Let's move on, if Cruz is really good, they'll eventually meet in the future once he also becomes a champion.

Ryan Garcia vs Tank Davis is something worth to wait for.

It comes down to expectations, Davis had huge expectations for this fight and their fans thought this would be an easy win, while in the case of Cruz no one really expected too much out of him, so it makes sense that Davis is being criticized and Cruz is being praised, however we cannot make an informed decision based on just one fight, maybe Davis simply could not figure out Cruz and that is why he did not seemed to fight at his usual level, however if he keeps fighting like that against other opponents then I doubt he will be able to retain his championship for long.
