It could have been a blink of an eye for fans watching Saturday’s lightweight title fight between Gervonta Davis and Rolando Romero.
The final press conference took place yesterday before a likely explosion at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
Every man has a dislike for the other and it will take a brave man to wager the war to go. Their record combines 40 games with 36 ending in the gap.
“This will be fireworks,” said Davis (26-0, 24 KOs) who will defend his WBA belt.
“I just wanted to show people that there are different levels when it comes to boxing. There are people who box and there are people who have been doing this since they were kids. It’s time to prove that I’m the one you shouldn’t hang out with. It starts with him and it will
continue.”
“I am ready to be violent in the ring,” replied the challenger, who is taking a significant step forward in his career compared to anyone he has ever faced.
“All ‘Tank’ does is the same basic buffer work as the others. All were defeated when encountering a big puncher. Just like his guy Adrien Broner, this will be a sequel to Adrien Broner vs. Marcos Maidana. ”
Davis painted a picture of calm this week with the media throwing everything at him about get rid of Mayweather Promotion will come after saturday night. And while the 27-year-old nampaw reminds everyone of his current state of serenity, there’s still time to write a message for ‘Rolly’.
“I am growing and I am still learning as I walk this path. I have people that I started with around me and I am grateful. Nothing else to say except Saturday night is the due date for ‘Rolly’. “
Romero (14-0, 12 KOS) thinks Davis is being taken too seriously and is ‘very emotional’ before reiterating his match prediction.
“I’m going to go in there and give him a punch and we’ll be done.
“I’m the new face of boxing and everyone will see on Saturday when I take down ‘Tanks’.”
