Unfortunately, as Romero had to withdraw from this fight, ‘Tank’ was left without an opponent. However, Isaac Cruz stood up to take this fight.

“A real man doesn’t have to seek what he has. A real man just goes out there and does it. You know what I mean, that’s why I say, ‘Tank’s a pu**y. Because that’s not a real man,” said Lopez.

In the above interview, ‘The Takeover’ had some words of praise for Rolando Romero. The champ even called ‘Rolly’ devoted, but he didn’t feel the same about Davis.

‘Tank’ has yet to respond to Lopez‘s above comments, but for now, he is involved in his preparations for his December 5 fight.
