A fighter’s best friend or worst adversary is confidence. In their bout for the secondary WBA lightweight championship on Saturday night inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Rolando “Rolly” Romero feels his sky-high confidence will be enough to push him to a sport-shaking upset against Gervonta “Tank” Davis (9 p.m. ET, Showtime PPV — order now).
Romero (14-0, 12 KO) has made a lot of noise in the build-up to the bout, citing a history of bad blood to hype up the event — and himself.
“Everyone is talking about [whether I can outbox] Gervonta, but he’s not even a decent boxer,” Romero said prior of the fight on “Morning Kombat.” “Everyone outboxes him and hits him in the face,” says the ring announcer. It’s all about little fellas and exhausted opponents. And ‘Pitbull’ Cruz, who has no boxing talent, was the only one who had an f—-ing pulse when they battled. Yet you’re talking to me about perhaps outboxing Gervonta Davis after he beat the f—- out of him? Shit.
