I think this is the last ditch effort from Floyd to try to, you know, see if he can get Tank knocked off by one of his own. You know, because if you get him knocked up by somebody else, it’s really not going to mean nothing to him. So he waited till the last fight… You know like, what we got to lose. Nobody expect him to win…”

This fight between the two rising stars has some fine details as well that add up to the excitement of the match. Davis has only one fight left under his contract with Mayweather Promotions. Both Romero and Davis are from the same promotional firm, so it has created more interest in the audience.

Hasim Rahman had his own perceptions about this. He said, “What would he get out of getting beat by Eddie Hearn’s fighter, or Bob Arum’s fighter. The genius in Floyd is you get him in there, when he got a guy who has a puncher’s chance, right. Now Floyd got the guy, right. And if he don’t win, he’s still got a relationship with Tank. But believe me, he won’t roll anywhere, no doubt about it.”

Both combatants have an incredible record because they are unbeaten. Tank Davis, boxing’s new heartthrob, has a 26-0-0 record. Romero, on the other side, goes with a 14-0-0. It might be Davis’ last fight with Mayweather Promotions, the reason might be the feud between Davis and Floyd Mayweather Jr. The firm will lose one of its biggest moneymakers when the 27-year-old prodigy’s contract expires. Romero is thought to be a possible Davis replacement by fans.
