Lightweight Rolly Romero has announced on social media that he will not be fighting Gervonta Davis on the December 5 pay-per-view event in Los Angeles.
Romero stated on Instagram, “Although the allegations against me are totally false and I will prove that through the legal system, I agree that it is in the best interest of everyone involved that I not participate in the upcoming pay-per-view event. After clearing my name I will return to the ring as soon as possible.”
Romero has recently come under fire over allegations of sexual assault made by several women. He will reportedly be replaced by Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz as the opponent for Davis.
A has-been and a never was…
I don’t get the references to Gervonra as a has been. Ive read other people say that too. But he’s still young and only has 26 or so fights. And his best win was in his last fight. How is he washed up? Admittedly I am not his biggest fan so i haven’t followed him too closely but what am I missing?
I think that you read it wrong. It’s not Gervonta being referred to as a has been , it’s Rolly being referred to as both.
A respectful lad like Rolly don’t seem like the type who would be me-too’d.
I think Cruz might actually be a better fighter than Romero.
NO Power No Ko’s
He has more knockouts than Romero has fights.
Naturally bigger too. Broner vs. Maidana II?
What do Floyd, Tank and Rolly have in common? They enjoy beating on women. If anything they should let these two fight and then sentence them both for jail time in 2022.
Arturo,
Great analysis, are you a paid contributor? Another fake Beta hater masquerading as a fight fan. Do you know anything about the fighters outside of these allegations?
Beating on women? Where does it say Rolly beat up a woman?
I think he beat up the pussy
I have a feeling that Rolly is innocent. Every woman who makes a false claim needs to spend 4 years in state prison, and be forced to register themselves. #FreeRolly.
Speaketh … F.J.B.
Fredrick J. Brandon III.
Tank vs Cruz is like putting a Tank against a regular car. Trust me. Cruz is going to be CRUSHED !!
And for the smart asses who don’t know what CRUSHED means, let me spell it for you.
K.T.F.O. … Cruz is getting K.T.F.O.
Speaketh … F.J.B.
Fredrick J. Brandon III.
This is boxing….You still have to perform….past records don’t win championships ask The 2007 New England Patriots….
SCARED!!
I wonder if the alleged victim, Izabel Zambrano, has any factual evidence to back up her claim; or is it just her word against his? And why are these women coming forward so long after the alleged incidents? Btw, I still think Mike Tyson was innocent in his case 30 yrs ago.
Rolly asked these women to come forward because he needed a way out of the Tank fight.
more like he was paid off by Tank to not fight.
Nordic, it’s alleged victimS (plural).
Here’s the thing, Rolly Romero is nobody right now, so the idea that these accusations are trying to take down a star is tough to swallow. He deserves his day in court and while it’s hard not to prejudge a fighter who has packaged himself as a thug I will try anyway.
What one used to consider making a pass at a woman can be considered sexual assault. Try to kiss a woman and she didn’t want it? Assault. Slap a woman on her ass and she didn’t like it? Assault. Basically making an unwanted advance in this day and age can be perceived as assault. Once she heard Rolly was on a PPV that’s when her recollection of the events appeared. If he was broke she probably would have swallowed her pride. Since he has got some doe she’s gonna make the Mf’er pay.
He want look supestar beating womens only is coward.
Another joke for eighty bucks
Is what it is. What’s next for Tank? That’s what I want to know. Rolly doesn’t matter. Like B said, a NEVER was.
Sounds like pulling out would have been a good idea.
Davis vs. Cruz is an outstanding match-up of styles, and I hope this fight occurs.
As for Romero, we will see how this case develops…I will definitely keep my eyes/ears open about this situation.
As far as I’m concerned, Isaac Cruz is a clear step up from Rolly Romero. It’s not the best fight at 135 for Tank, but it’s not one fans should be complaining about.
The title was too funny. Pun intended, or not? Guess it depends on the validity of the accusations.
This is a serious charge, however, it’s also a serious weapon. I not making any judgements because I was not there. Let’s see what the courts say about this.
Perhaps Rilly needs to mind who he surrounds himself with. Vegas might be the craziest place on the planet. Anything can happen.
My mind went through serveral scenarios at the same time. It could be true, and if it is, more will come out. It could be a strategy to protect Tank. It could be a story created by Rolly’s team to get him out of it if he’s not ready for tank yet. He can also be a target of a quick buck for an out of court settlement.
Another easy fight for to buil Davis career
Why Davis does not fight teofimo????
We all know davis is great boxer but he has to fight great boxers as well
How can Tank just fight Teo if Teo choose Kambosas to fight? dcaf
Tank didn’t want the Teo fight tho. Never heard Tank ever call out Teo, Loma, or Devin. Only Ryan..
Teo has to fight Kambosos or the IBF will strip him of the title he won when he KO’ed Comey.
Not entirely true. The mandatory wasn’t called by the IBF. Teo chose to take the mandatory, but he could have had a voluntary defense first.
You all may not like my comment but here goes I think Tio got lucky when he fought lomachenko lomachenko was off that night he didn’t look like he normally does I really don’t think Tio is that great of a fighter I really want to see a rematch,it will be a different scenario
Then every fighter who loses to another was having an “off night” not just the fighter you worship
‘Several women’. Where there’s smoke there’s fire. Hopefully we can get Haney-Davis.
Look at all the women who came forward on Bill Cosby & he was freed from prison. Look at that lunatic who thought she remembered something about Judge Kavanaugh & it turned out she was lying. I do not believe all accusers!
Bill Cosby was released on a technicality not because he was innocent. He actually admitted he drugged women.
He admitted he took drugs with women not that he drugged women and also Alice Dickinson admitted she lied in her charges against him
Your attitude is sad!
He should have done that when she said no.
All this fighters that think they are the best but yet they don’t fight the best, either they fight shot fighters or over the hill old fighters, They talk the talk but for sure they don’t walk the walk
Er
Would have loved to have seen Tank Davis vs. Loma at 130! I wonder why Teofimo says he’d never give Loma a rematch?
Because he says Loma wouldn’t have given him a rematch if had lost. Which is true. The didn’t put a rematch clause in the contract because they thought Teo was food.
If I was Teo or Devin I would freeze Loma out. Not out of fear but because Loma was disrespectful to both career wise.
Because he knows he had a lucky night that’s why
Always “lucky” when your fighter gets his ass kicked but skill whenever he wins! Lol
Pitbull Cruz’s aggressive style is made to order for Tank. And if I’m not mistaken, I think Cruz may actually be shorter than Tank.
Isaac Pitbull Cruz may just win this fight with Tank. This is not an easy fight by any means.
Good for Pitbull- He’s #8 boxrec, ahead of Rolly’s #13 and his “Interim belt”. And more experienced.
If the charges are true, Romero is a very sick and disturbed man in serious need of the help of a mental health professional. If he is convicted, his boxing career is over, as he will be spending quite a bit of time in jail. He’s lucky not to be fighting Tank, who would’ve knocked him out in brutal fashion.
Well he was only hired by PBC to make Gervonta Davis looked really good. Wat is happening here is all the women that have ever bern involved with him are trying to jump on the lawsuit -$$$$ wagon because he was about to make real good money on that payper view event. He figured that what is the point of putting his life on the line, like all fighters do every time they step on the ring, if all the money he is gonna make is gonna end up being spent on lawyers fees and out of court settements. And yes, even if all the accusations are false, a jury may take plaintifs side & is gonna be all for nothing
Rolly talked himself into the fight with his antics. He made people want to see if he could really do half the crap he talked. No one went tooling for him.
We’ll I was looking forward to see that fight I really think you ready for that fight.
