Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Gervonta Davis Will Be The Next Superstar in Boxing

[DylanPatrick]

Too many people are crying about this whole event way to much now. "It's a circus" "it's disrespectful" yet this has attracted more people than most fights do. Granted this year has been great for boxing but is May-Mac really gonna ruin it? I don't think so because all around the world we see mismatches everywhere heck look at Eddie Hearn and the fights he puts on Aj-Pulev is very likely going to be a PPV which is a crime against the sport no way should it be. Atleast mcgregor brings something to the table and your all going to be shocked by how well the man can box and can fight. Just like you all wrote Tyson fury off even people on here was saying tank won't beat pedraza yet you was all made to eat your words!! I'm sick of grown a$$ men whinging every two seconds get a grip ... Just because you spend the majority of days floating across websites doesn't mean it puts you in a position to be telling people what fight is good or bad for the sport. Let people make up they're own minds on what they wanna see. #ArmChairJudges there are much worse mismatches made in the sport and shown on our televisions every god damn week!! Atleast this one brings some of the Unknown,entertainment and more importantly a bit of relevance!!!

Hope we get decent match ups on the undercard, would like to see the Cleverly/Jack fight on it as main support and a credible opponent for Davis, a former champ or something, maybe Jhonny Gonzalez, Vargas or Salido etc

its probably rocky martinez..... but his manager said he cant make 130 salido is injured... dont know how many options they have

[aceventura]

Davis is fighting Rocky Martinez. Not sure who Jack is fighting.

eddie hearn has been saying it will be cleverly for months... i hope its him unless mayweather is low balling cleverly like he always does to undercard fighters lol....

[aceventura]

yea we heard the same about Jleon Love Broner & countless other guys who never turned into superstars. We dont need to be told or force fed fighters.That being said, I like tank and I hope he does become a star.

i dont think anyone seriously called j leon a superstar and broner was never a floyd fighter.... but broner has done more in boxing than majority of fighters do....

[aceventura]

Davis is not a good communicator or public speaker and doesn't appear to be positioning himself to fight the top guys in the weight class so I don't know if he is going to be the next superstar.

he is a very soft spoken kid and on the mic he doesnt talk loud enough yet... im sure in a year or 2 he will be more comfortable....

Davis Vs Rocky Martinez & Dulorme Vs Porter are pretty much set in stone. I'm pretty sure one more fight will be added as well.

if canelo vs chavez or manny vs horn didnt ruin boxing i dont think this will either..... Only people crying are golden boy and top rank groupies mostly

Maybe so. He needs a ton of work IMO. I think in order to be a star you have to be able to communicate with the public enough to get your point across.

no one cares about Gervonta Davis the dwarf

Dwarf fighting has no future in boxing. 8 yr old sized midgets beating each other is sad to watch, Pint sized mini men munchkins belong in OZ. or in Santa' sleigh

eddie hearn has been saying it will be cleverly for months... i hope its him unless mayweather is low balling cleverly like he always does to undercard fighters lol....

He's been ordered to fight Dmitry Bivol.
