Gervonta Davis vs. Rolly Romero

Gervonta Davis and Rolando 'Rolly' Romero will fight on May 28th in New York, New York. Davis is the betting favorite in the bout. Though both fighters are known for their heavy hands, the more technical boxer will likely have the edge.

'Tank' made his professional debut in 2013 and won his first eight fights by way of knockout. In recent years, Davis has faced a higher level of opposition than his opponent. In 2019, for instance, he stopped Yuriorkis Gamboa after putting him on the canvas three times. In 2020, he knocked out Leo Santa Cruz in the sixth round.

Romero made his professional debut in 2016 and has a record of 14-0-0 with 12 knockouts. In 2020, he won the WBA Interim Lightweight Title after defeating Jackson Marinez at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut. Davis will be his most capable opponent to date.

The bout between Romero and Davis was originally scheduled for December 5, though the fight was called off after Romero was accused of sexual assault by multiple women.

Following a police investigation that did not result in charges, the bout was rescheduled. Romero's alleged assaults are not the only instances of violence against women to mar the bout. In 2020, Davis was arrested and charged after he was caught on video assaulting a former girlfriend at a basketball game.
