[Boxing] Gervonta Davis vs. Isaac Cruz - December 5

[wxa7115]

Has anyone reading this loud trash talking from Romero about knocking Davis down in round 1?

According to this article, this is his statement.

“Man, I’ma say it like this, Tank’s gonna get knocked the fuck out,” Romero said. And like I said, whoever believes otherwise can go fuck themselves. ... The best thing about Tank is he’s a puncher, and I’m a bigger puncher and I’m a bigger person! What the fuck does he have?

“I punch way harder than him. Ask anyone that knows us both, they’ll tell you straight up, I’ma knock him the fuck out. One round. He gonna run right into something, ‘cause he’s stupid!”

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.

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

Following multiple sexual assault accusations against Rolando “Rolly” Romero and Showtime’s Stephen Espinoza saying they were taking the “disturbing allegations” seriously, it appears now that Romero will not be fighting Gervonta Davis on Dec. 5.

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.

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.

[Saisher]

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.

Sources: Isaac Cruz has agreed to a deal  to fight Gervonta Davis on Dec. 5 in Los Angeles on Showtime PPV. The lightweight contender from Mexico will replace Rolando Romero, who was pulled from the bout after being accused of sexual assault.

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.

[Gosgosking]

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 .

[madnessteat]

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.
