By Brian Webber: Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero reacted suspiciously after being told Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis wants him to fight former lightweight world title challenger Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz next to win a rematch against him.
Instead of seeing what Tank said as a positive sign that he could potentially get a lucrative second fight, Rolly (14-1, 12 KOs) reacted negatively to the message, saying that Gervonta is trying to “eliminate” him and Pitbull Cruz. . a revenge
“Rolly and Isaac Cruz need to fight,” Gervonta Davis said last Sunday.
What Tank Davis (27-0, 25 KOs) is asking Rolly, 26, and Pitbull Cruz (24-2-1, 17 KOs) to do is quite reasonable, as they both need a significant win before a rematch with any of them would sell on pay-per-view.
“That’s because he’s scared to fight Pitbull and me,” Rolly Romero told ESNEWS when told that Tank Davis wants him to fight Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz next.
“He is afraid to fight me; he’s scared to fight Pitbull, so why not try to take both of us out? I like all the fights,” Rolly said when asked if he would like a fight against Pitbull Cruz. Pitbull looked amazing tonight. I can knock everyone out.”
At that point, Rolly began shadow boxing for the crowd, getting them excited as he watched him throw power punches into the air.
Instead of Rolly refusing Tank Davis’ instructions to fight Isaac Cruz, he should go along with the idea because it’s a brilliant way for both of them to try and win a rematch.
Sadly, Rolly hasn’t even fought since he lost to Tank last May, and he has no fights scheduled.
Cruz, 24, has made the biggest breakthrough since his narrow 12-round unanimous decision loss to Gervonta last December in Los Angeles.
Following the loss to Tank, Pitbull Cruz quickly returned to the ring, stopping former world champion Yuriorkis Gamboa in five rounds and then destroying Eduardo Ramirez (27-3-3, 12 KOs) via second-round knockout last Sunday for the night at the Crypto Arena. In Los Angeles.
The only problem with Cruz is that his opposition has been on the mediocre side, and he needs a more significant victory to make it worth fighting Gervonta a second time.
That’s why Tank tells Pitbull and Rolly that they should fight each other because their match would be huge and attract enough attention to face the winner.
