For as long as he’s been in a position to demand a big fight, Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero never stopped calling for a showdown with Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis. His promoter couldn’t have been more pleased to put together that matchup, if only to avoid having to explain why he wouldn’t have another fight lined up for the foreseeable future.
Rolando "Rolly" Romero, 26-years-old. has promised to crush world champion Gervonta Davis when they battle on December 5 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
Mikey Garcia views this weekend as the first step on the path to reclaiming past glory in the 140-pound division. The former four-division champion will fight at a maximum of 145 pounds in his upcoming clash with Spain’s Sandor Martin. The catchweight is a little lighter than he originally intended heading into this event, though fitting considering the loftier goals he has in store for the upcoming year—revisiting a hoped-for clash with former junior welterweight titlist Regis Prograis, which he plans to parlay into big fights with the two most notable names in the division.
There is the concern among plenty of boxing fans that it is too soon for Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero to face one of the sport’s most gifted knockout artists in Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis.
Don’t expect Devin Haney to swap punches with Gervonta Davis any time soon - unless Davis intends to fight at 135-pounds, according to Haney’s father and trainer.
Gervonta Davis will lead the charge in a December loaded with the sport’s top lightweights. The unbeaten former junior lightweight champ and current WBA “World” lightweight and junior welterweight titlist confirmed his ring return, which will come versus rival Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero. The grudge match between unbeaten lightweights will take place December 5—a Sunday evening—on Showtime Pay-Per-View from Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Unbeaten lightweight star Ryan Garcia is back from his hiatus with a plan. Garcia is being lined up for a year-end showdown with Joseph "JoJo" Diaz, but his main target is fellow star Gervonta Davis. The 23-year-old Garcia has been out of the ring since January, when he got off the floor to score a knockout of Olympic gold medal winner Luke Campbell.
Don’t expect the two top stars of the lightweight division to face each other anytime soon, if Ryan Garcia’s latest remarks are anything to go by. The Instagram star from Victorville, Calif. recently stated that he does not expect to face Baltimore’s Gervonta Davis inside the ring in the foreseeable future, a matchup that Garcia seemed to be keen on only as recently as this summer. A Davis-Garcia fight would pit two of the biggest names of the younger generation in boxing; Davis is 26, while Garcia is 23.
