Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Rolando “Rolly” Romero had to be separated at Friday’s weigh-in. When posing for photographers, Romero stood in front of Davis, prompting Tank to push him off the stage! An enraged Rolly then tried to get at Tank, but both fighters were held back. Should be a good one tomorrow (as long as it lasts).

Both look ripped and ready. Why is Lara on this card?
Lara’s last 3 opponents were Canelo’s brother, Greg Vendetti and Thomas Lamanna (which lasted about 80 seconds). He just turned 39 and now he’s fighting Spike O’Sullivan. CLEARLY he’s semi-retired and just enjoying a few last paydays.
He figures he might be next for Canelo so he wants to stay active. He might not be wrong!
lara vs O’Sullivan …. bad mis match for a belt
Tank should be a featherweight with no tattoos
Seriously, I think Rolly will try to rough him up, but once he feels Tank’s power Rolly will be very cautious, but with no avail because he will be decimated before 5 rounds
Don’t forget, Romero said last week he could KO Tank in the first round. Hmm, well let’s see it. I bet he is in for a rude awakening. Trash talk is so cheap…
Who gives a shit, this is boxing just enjoy while it lasts.
Your so right but speculation is a really fun part of the pre fight game , sometimes we just never know ,I’ve been surprised and amazed on more than a few occasions.but I also agree let’s enjoy it while it lasts!!!!
Good to see Arias getting back in the mix. And now with Team Salas?! Sky the limit.
Tank by ko
Wowww Tank Davis has a HUGE SKULL! It’s odd but he has the skull of a huge man and yet he has a little body which I don’t know how it can support that big ass head which probably weighs 30 lbs! Like how in the world can Romero miss his big head?
I’m kind of turned off by Romero’s low life shit talking but what was even more bottom of the barrel scum bucket shit was Davis pushing Romero off the stage, no it wasn’t very high but I’ve twisted my ankles on smaller steps let alone probably a 2-3 foot stage which could have ended up really bad especially when your not expecting it.
Yea yea let’s hear the Davis groupies say it was all staged….
Tank is “punk desperate”. A punk will knife your tires before the race where he challenged you to pink slips. He is a frontrunning fingernail polish wearing , makeup wearing fake. Rolly calls it pure. Tank responds in a classless criminal way.
Is that you Rolly?
Don’t have to be a Davis groupie to think that these are all staged.
interesting. cannot find the Issac Cruz /Tank fight online. There is a highlight vid but only one. I do not believe Tank hurt his hand like he said . No ex ray. No anything . Did he break a nail? This Rolly fight is the weirdest fight I can remember and I am 63. Very strange vibe. Tank was actually giving the most props I have ever heard him give , to Rolly yesterday. Saying things that if he loses, will , in hindsight be telling. The Cruz highlights do prove one thing. He does not hit hard enough to damage Cruz’ face. And he will make excuses when things do not magically go his way.
I think tank was managing his own emotions.
Tank is probably the most tattooed fighter I’ve ever seen, but it looks like he’s run out of space. If he wanted to get another one, where the hell would he put it?
Maybe his tongue, inside his ears, eyelids, plenty of room to go! 🙂
rollo vs the tatoo man should be a circus match who knows what will happen how good rollo is we will find out
Winner!…..tanks tattoo artist
Let’s be honest, who the hell is Rolly Romero and where did he come from? I first became aware of him after he KO’d that Yigit guy and he sounded like a complete psycho in his his interview with Jim Gray after. He always has a look on his face like a child taking a shit, even on the photo for this article. I don’t follow boxing as closely as I used to, but did I miss something? All of a sudden he’s like a major star in the sport who’s supposedly a threat to Tank Davis? Hey, maybe he is the next big thing in the division, or is he just a product of self-promotion and the boxing media is just riding with it. I guess will find out tonight. From what I see, Tank crushes him within 7 rounds
