By Robert Segal: Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero is advising Ryan Garcia to stick to his guns and only fight Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis at 140, not 135.
Rolly says that if Tank tries to insist that Ryan fight at 135, then he shouldn’t take the fight because he needs to compete where he feels “comfortable”.
Also, Rolly states that Tank Davis needs Ryan and not the other way around. According to Rolly, Tank can’t sell pay-per-view because he “has no personality”. For Tank to sell, he needs Rolly or Ryan Garcia to help him out.
Rolly says that Ryan Garcia will beat Tank, and he’s sure of it. Though Rolly won’t say how he knows, he feels confident that Ryan will put Gervonta in a rut when he starts the fight in December.
“Ryan should take the fight at 140. F*** that, they need Ryan,” Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero told Fighthype about his advice for Ryan Garcia for the Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis fight.
“Tank needs Ryan, not the other way around,” Rolly continued. “Ryan is a fucking superstar. That was my fault,” Rolly said when reminded that his pay-per-view fight against Gervonta brought in some good numbers.
“In the end, he [Tank Davis] he needs someone who can sell a damn fight with him if he wants to sell that kind of money. The thing is, that means he needs Ryan. The same way he needed me.
“Nah,” Rolly said when asked if a rematch between Gervonta and Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz would generate good pay-per-view numbers. “That fight didn’t sell the first time, and it won’t sell a second time.
“The [Gervonta] he needs someone to sell the damn fight, and that person in that division is me or Ryan.
“There’s no one else in that division that sells fights, and Tank can’t sell a fight unless there’s someone there that can really sell a fight because he has no personality.
“Then don’t fight,” Rolly said of his advice to Ryan not to fight Tank if he insists it happen at 135.
“Fight where you feel comfortable. Remember it. Ryan can beat Tank. I won’t say it, but he can beat Tank. Nah, he’s going to beat Tank. He’s just going to beat it. You’ll see,” said Rolly.
