However, in Romero’s case, the shot and setup were identical. The only difference was that Romero was able to get up. But the results are similar as Romero could not gather himself well enough to fight. His legs were stumbling and his body language was not showing the signs of recovery, so the referee stopped the bout declaring a TKO win for Floyd Mayweather’s protege.

However, things started to change when Davis came into the rhythm. Better defense and smooth footwork did well for Davis and he gave a finishing touch to the event in the 6th round, similar to Marquez’s victory.
