[Boxing]: Davis vs Romero: May 28

[mirakal]

When I saw Gervonta Davis for the first time, I thought is was just another rap singer. But turns out he is a boxer. A very good boxer indeed.

Can someone explain, why Rolando Romero is such an underdog in this fight and there is such a huge gap in odds? Coz Davis fought more experienced boxers and is more experienced? From wikipedia info, both of them have 0 losses, which makes them identically good.

Is it because of his skin color and aura that's why you assumed he's a rapper? I hope that's not the reason.

You already answered your question on why Romero is the underdog and why not Gervonta Davis, yes both have a clean record but Davis have more than Romero and he defeated much heavier names in the industry than Romero who's just picking a fight that he think he can defeat. The latter is not like that, just look at their past opponents. You'll see more famous names on Davis's rapsheet rather than Romero's.

Most black athletes dress just like the rapper, it music industry has a lot of influence on sports and vice versa.

Yes, Davis wanted to have a name but he pick the wrong fighter I guess. So we will see, they dislike each other so that is a good story board for Floyd to make this fight happen. Nevertheless, Davis is favor by a huge margin.

Because he is cover with bling-blings like Christmas tree with lights.

Clear record is not an indicator to show that one boxer is better than other. One good punch in a chin can cross-out all victories over all cool boxer in record.

I look at the odds and see 1.07 Davis and 7 for Romero. Romero opponents were that bad, that made odds so high ? Cant believe.

Did you mean Romero would KO'ed Tank? That's almost impossible to be honest, although Tank's chin has been exposed on his last fight, but Romero isn't in same level like Cruz.

I've watched Romero's replay, he's not a technical boxer and only rely on his physical appearance power. I'm not surprised Romero is a huge underdog here.

[Erumo]

I meant that I am shocked with such odds. If I was really far away from boxing and someone asked me on my opinion on 1.07 and 7 odds, I would say that two completely different class boxers are going to meet. Like one is amateur, while other is experienced pro boxer. And this .07 are possibility of injury or lucky punch.

Does anyone plans to place a bet on Romero? Coz placing a bet on Davis with such low profit is stupid.

The odds are telling you that only a miracle would give Romero a chance to beat Davis. He is up against an undefeated fighter who is also a great KO artist, what do you think people would expect? of course, they will all put their money on Davis to win, but such odds is a "no" since it would not give a good profit, maybe some props like a KO win in a certain round range (usually 3 rounds).

Their both are undefeated if you havent noticed. Their KO ratio is 85,7% and 92,3%. Identically have 2 fights that ended by decision. Just because one fighter have more fights in his career, makes him so much dominant over other?

I am not a super-duper expert, but I can look on both fighters records and say, that Rolando Romero, who is an underdog, knocked out his opponents in first rounds, while Gervonta Davis has knockouts in 6 to 11 rounds. Being a person far from boxing, I can say that Romero knockouts people faster than Davis. Faster = better.

As a result of this battle, one of them will cease to be invincible. The ratio of KOs to the number of KOs for both fighters is high, and the scheduled fight at the end of May may turn out to be spectacular if Davis vs Romero want to end the fight ahead of schedule. I won't say that the number of fights held gives very big advantages for Davis and makes him a dominant, because the difference between them is not big (26 fights against 14), but still, it's an experience.

Both fighters look good and can show a first-class fight, but there is still a difference between them and minor nuances can affect the outcome of the fight. For example, non-fight downtime, age, professional fight experience, etc. All the same, not only one super blow allows to become a champion, but a complex of various qualities. Therefore, I think that Romero as a challenger has a chance of winning, but judging by the bookmakers' forecasts, they are not very high.

As I always tell, "smart money" will be on Tank Davis, while underdog bettors and ordinary gamblers like might go with Romero and look for an upset because of the higher odds and of course get a huge pay. However, the chances are very slim for Romero.

So it's really up to us to look for more betting options, like per round and others to at least have a good odds for our money.

I find this match up, funny and nonsense. I was glad their first scheduled fight was cancelled although it still ended up with Tank cherry picking another one. And now it is still happening.

Every lightweight in the world wants a shot at then unified champion Teofimo Lopez. After Teofimo lost all his belts, everyone's attention shifted to his conqueror George Kambosos. Every lightweight want to take those real belts Kambosos is holding. But while everyone is busy trying to get a done deal with Kambosos, Tank Davis is snubbing it and prefers to cherry pick again. Tank Davis is a fake lightweight champion because a super WBA champion exists.

I do heard that Tank and Floyd are now at odds. So hopefully after this nonsense fight (which I still hope Rollie scores and upset), Tank will fight the real champions and contenders in this division.

I really find that "super-duper expert" term funny Well, it's hard not to notice that they are both undefeated of course but we cannot really on their KO percentage alone because we also have to take another factor like their style, IQ and experience. Definitely Tank Davis have those qualities than Romero even if his records are impressive.

Romero is like Ryan Garcia to me, who's a KO specialist but when it comes to a much difficult opponent. Their true weaknesses are revealed.

I also cannot deny that Romero has been impressive these past few years and having that kind of knockout percentage is not an easy feat to obtain because only those specialist like him can do those things but this time he is against Gervonta Davis, certainly his nickname as the tank means that he's really that hard to pin down, and with a 92% rate for knockout? That is scary!

Yes, that's what I'm trying to say though and anyway thanks for giving adding some detail on why Davis have more advantage.

Nevertheless, I also believe that this Romero can really bring a good tight fight and an entertaining match despite of his experience compared to Tank Davis as they are both called a knockout specialist and maybe he can also give the latter a challenging fight where he will be pushed to his maximum limit.

Perhaps it was due to Davis facing more formidable opponents, competition are high that it's hard to knock out his opponents early. As compare to Romero's opponent, who of course doesn't have a name in boxing yet so easy fight for him.

So the ball is on the side of Romero to perform and put his words into action. Because he has been calling Davis for a long time and actually they supposed to fight last year but didn't push through because of Romero's legal battle.

In any case, Romero should be impressive on his upcoming match against Davis because if he can't then surely it's not his time to keep on calling heavy names in the boxing industry. Yes Romero's rapsheet was clean but those names written within are not some of those terrifying opponents like Davis have done in his career. But if he can manage to take the tank down then that's the time where I will be impressed on him.

[Jating]

But Tank has the experience not to fall for Romero's antic inside the ring. The odds really show that it is going to be a mismatch. Maybe it's better if we will wait for more betting options because the ML is not that great. Perhaps majority here are fans of Tank and can't wait to see Davis putting works against this clown and scoring a knock out win.

It's up to Romero on how he would back his words towards the Tank Davis who definitely have a much more experience in the ring and the technicalities in terms of knock out percentage, Romero may be outstanding on his class as he is much of a knockout specialist himself but I cannot help to see that Davis have really more KO percentage than him. And for that, an ML is not that juicy for me, might be best to wait for another betting option.

He should back his words, otherwise, that doesn't make him different from other trash talkers who do not show aggressiveness in the ring. It's a marketing strategy, we know that for sure, but as a fan, I like to see a boxer who can also entertain the crown when fighting in the ring.

And for that, an ML is not that juicy for me, might be best to wait for another betting option.

Good luck, that's a tough call.

I definitely agree with you about that, Romero should learn to stand his words as sooner or later he might regret that or better yet he needs to learn when is the perfect timing to speak up and only speak words that he could really back. Yes I won't deny that he have an impressive record for a beginner with a high KO rate, good luck with him on facing Davis.

I wouldn't be so sure about that as an upset is always possible even in this fight, we have just saw an heavy upset last week and we didn't expected that because Bivol was inexperienced compared to Canelo the favorite but Bivol did it anyway. Same in this bout, records and experience shows that Davis is far more greater than Romero and this is a mismatch but the latter is also a threat.
