Golden Boy Promotions announced today the signing of WBA #1 ranked super lightweight Ohara “Two Tanks” Davies (25-2, 18 KOs), the mandatory WBA challenger to Rolando “Rolly” Romero.
“We are in the business of making world champions, and we will make Ohara Davies one of them under our promotional family,” said Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy Promotions Oscar De La Hoya. “He has the grit, determination and bad blood against Romero to fuel him as he campaigns for the WBA world title very soon. Keep an eye out for him!”
Interesting??? I was under the impression that Garcia wanted to fight Romero for his title. I guess bad blood really exists to sign the mandatory rather than deliver Romero to Garcia on a silver platter. Hmmm.
Yeah kinda of crappy of Oscar. I know they’ve filed a lawsuit etc. not sure how it all started and Garcia is kind of a punk-prima Donna. Sound familiar? Oscar?
Between Ryan Garcia, Eddie Hearn, and Canelo we could invent a game of Clue where Oscar’s body is found and we have to figure out who done it? Lets hope the weapon is not a knife!
Naw, Oscar fought anyone and everyone. I know it’s a different time, i.e. social media, but Oscar at least made his bones in the ring. Garcia is happy fighting once a year and auditioning for likes on whatever social media account he has. Here’s a kid that they just said made 30 million and he is underappreciated. Your promoter helped you make that. Garcia was the dumass that signed the rehydration clause.
I see not too many appreciated my humor. My wife often tells me I am not near as funny as I think I am!!! That said in all seriousness…Oscar did fight everyone that the public demanded and then some. While I do understand Garcia being upset that they did not show at the post fight conference….I do not get why this has come to lawsuits. He has made a lot of money with Oscar and could make some more. They do not have to be best friends to have an amicable business relationship. That said it looks like Oscar signing Davies was personal but it should not have gotten to this point. Today when a fighter loses a fight it seems they lose their mind as well! I think both sides could do better. Ryan needs to grow up and Oscar should not be stooping to Ryan’s level of maturity. That is my take for what it is worth without the silly jokes!
You do know the sparring history between these two. Correct?
