Gervonta Davis showcased a spectacular performance against Rolando Romero on May 28, 2022. With the victory, he retained his WBA (Regular) lightweight title. However, Davis was also involved in a minor war of words with Romero’s corner.

Davis faced Romero at the Barclay’s Center in New York Center. While the fighters battled it out, Romero’s trainer Cromwell Gordon was shouting out instructions from the corner.

By the 6th round, Davis was done with Gordon’s incessant shouting. This was when Gordon told Romero, “Box him Rolly, you can outbox Tank.”

An irritated ‘Tank’ shouted back at Romero’s corner. He said, “Shut yo b**ch a*s up.”

In fact, the commentators were taken aback by Davis’s response, even exclaiming that everyone was experiencing a different vibe from him. Additionally, Davis secured his victory in the very same round via a knockout.
