Rolly Romero has dismissed the fight between Canelo Alvarez and Dmitry Bivol. Alvarez, the Undisputed Super-Middleweight Champion of the world, fought Bivol on May 7 at the T-Mobile Arena for the latter's WBA Light Heavyweight Championship and suffered the second loss of his career. In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, 'Rolly' gave his thoughts on Alvarez losing to the Russian:
"So Canelo fought what, like two weeks ago, two or three weeks ago. Yeah three weeks ago, and nobody gave a sh** about that fight, nobody talked about it... Until after this you know the decision, obviously the upset everybody's gonna talk about that sh**, you know? But prior to the fight nobody talked about this sh**."
'Rolly' compared his fight against Davis to the Canelo vs. Bivol fight. He wanted to say that there is much more talk and hype around their May 28th match-up than there was for Alvarez fighting the Russian. The fight was an upset as the Russian put on a masterclass of discipline, defense, and counter-attacking to outclass the Undisputed Super-Middleweight Champion.
It will be interesting to see if the fight between Rolly and Davis generates more buzz in its aftermath than Canelo vs. Bivol.

'Rolly' was not impressed by Davis' actions and spoke about the incident:
"Moth******er pushed me as simple as that, he's scared... I'm an alpha compared to him. He a b***h, man. He a b***h for that, man. That could have fu***d up the fight if I twisted an ankle or some s**t, the fight's over, no?"
