Sean O'Malley and Gervonta Davis
Sean O’Malley reacts to last weekend’s fight between boxing superstars Gervonta Davis and Rolando Romero
Boxing superstars Gervonta Davis and Rolando Romero clashed this weekend for the WBA lightweight championship in the world. Davis and Romero went back and forth leading up to the fight, while Davis even resorted to shoving Romero at the ceremonial weigh-ins.
Romero was the aggressor between the two for six rounds, pawing with his jab and establishing comfortable range early on. Romero fought an extremely disciplined fight, slipping counters and staying away from Davis’ power hand.
Romero got too comfortable with his range, and felt like he had the right moment to amp up his attack in the sixth round. He cut Davis to the ropes and looked to unload with powerful combinations from the middle. He walked in too deep in the range of Davis who calmly let loose with a left-hand counter that caught Romero clean and sent him face-first into the ropes before sliding down to the canvas.
While he stood up before the count, the referee had seen enough of Romero who was still on wobbly legs.
Sean O’Malley is all set to face Pedro Munhoz on July 2nd. Sean is one of the most elite strikers in the game today with stacks of weapons in his arsenal. In the latest episode of the TimboSugarShow, O’Malley reacted to Gervonta’s recent performance. ‘Suga’ said that he sees himself sharing the boxing ring with Davis maybe five years down the line, and offered a prediction for their fight.
“The fight’s happening though, me vs Gervonta in five years. I swear… I could knock his a** out. I really believe that… [At] 135, I’d KO him,” said Sean O’Malley.
