Promoter Leonard Ellerbe confirmed as we speak that the rumors of Gervonta Davis being in negotiations for a combat towards Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela and requesting a rehydration clause for a conflict at 135 are false. Ellerbe says Rayo was “not obtainable.”
Ellerbe ignored the questions made to him on social media by followers, who requested concerning the studies of Tank Davis defending his WBA ‘common’ light-weight title towards Lamont Roach, a fighter who holds a belt at tremendous featherweight on PPV.
Salvador Rodriguez of ESPN Knockout mentioned as we speak that he was informed that Tank Davis vs. Roach and David Benavidez vs. Jesse Hart are scheduled for December twenty first.
Followers are sad about Tank (30-0, 28 KOs) cherry-picking the sunshine puncher Roach (25-1, 10 KOs) from the 130-lb division quite than dealing with the killers at 135. One in all them is Edwin De Los Santos, the knockout artist who made Shakur Stevenson run for his life final November in Las Vegas.
Persons are getting bored with Tank Davis preventing weak opposition, which he’s largely fought throughout his 11-year profession. They wish to see him step it up towards high quality opposition. In different phrases, Roach ain’t it, and neglect about Isaac ‘Pitbull Cruz, Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero and Hector Garcia.
Nobody needs to see David Benavidez defend his WBC interim gentle heavyweight title towards 35-year-old backside dweller Jesse Hart as a part of the Tank vs. Roach doubleheader on PPV.
Tank vs. Roach & Benavidez vs. Hart Doubleheader
“I’m informed they’re contemplating the Gervonta-Roach combat for December 21, with Benavidez-Hart within the combine. The factor is that the Usyk vs Fury 2 PPV is on that very same day and that would have an effect on the date,” mentioned Salvador Rodriguez on X.
Let me clear this bs rumor up, there was by no means no negotiations for Rayo as he was not obtainable and Tank Davis rattling certain didn’t request no rehydration. A few of y’all simply say something for clicks!!
