Via Vince Dwriter: Recently, fans of the sweet science have witnessed many confrontations between boxers on social networks, as opposed to in the squared circle.
In the latest issue of social media beef, outspoken Mayweather Promotions lightweight contender Rolando “Rolly” Romero traded hits with undefeated rising star Keyshawn “The Businessman” Davis.
Less than a week ago, Davis was active as a co-feature on ESPN’s Shakur Stevenson-Robson Conceicao card. The scheduled fight between Keyshawn Davis and Omar Tienda became an introduction for Davis, as he systematically knocked out his opponent and then ended the fight in the fifth round with a TKO. With a dominant win, the highly touted lightweight prospect improved his record to (6-0.5 KOs).
Throughout the round, Davis looked impressive against Tienda, but the way he finished the match showed the fact that the young boxer knew how to end a fight when he injured his opponent. In the fifth inning of the game, Tienda threw a lazy shot, and Davis went ahead and caught Tienda with a counter punch that sent Tienda down.
Tienda was able to get up and Davis continued to throw consecutive punches causing the referee to intervene and stop the game.
Fans, boxing pundits, and Davis’ advertising agency for Top Boxing were all impressed with the way Keyshawn Davis finished the match against Tienda. After watching the ending, Davis became a fan of his own work and he posted a comparison post. “Practice with Bud (Terence Crawford), and now I’m starting to finish like him.” Most people agree on Davis ending the bout in spectacular fashion, but one boxer, in particular, wasn’t amused by Davis’ recent achievement.
Rolly Romero (14-1, 12 KOs) is a fighter who is no stranger to confrontations and he is always open to speaking his mind at every opportunity. Recently on social media, Romero criticized First Boxing’s stance on their light tank prospects. “And Top Rated says Keyshawn is the best finisher in the sport? The f**k is this sh**. “
Davis responded to Romero by posting, “They say I’m the best prospect finisher. I used to scare you once don’t make me hammer a few more screws into your head like the last fight. After seeing the post, Romero responded by saying that Keyshawn Davis has no personality, he criticized Davis’s personal appearance, he called Andy Cruz, who beat Keyshawn in the Olympics, he called him Davis’ dad, and he accused ESPN of using the name to promote their fighters.
The last time kt Rolly Romero was in the ring was 4 months ago in a Showtime pay-per-view match against his teammate and arch-rival, conventional lightweight champion Gervonta “The Chariot.” increase” Davis. Romero was able to sustain the competitive fight using his jab, and he won several battles, but the Davis Tank won the fight. In the sixth round of the round, Davis took advantage of his opponent’s aggression by moving, luring Romero into a trap, and knocking him out with a deadly backhand.
Rolly Romero is no stranger to social media encounters, but this particular battle could lead to two boxers meeting in a clash that could benefit both. Keyshawn Davis is a promising young candidate who wants to quickly become a legitimate lightweight contender, but to get there, he needs a win over a sort of next-level opponent. Davis could very well accomplish that goal with a win over outspoken boxer Rolly Romero.
In Romero’s case, his goal was to be a pay-per-view star, and he had personality, but he didn’t have a resume. He received a controversial decision against Jackson Marinez, and in addition to the strength of the name Davis Tank, he entered a pay-per-view main event in which he was disqualified. If Rolly Romero can get an impressive win against a rising prospect, that could assist and bring him one step closer to achieving his goal of achieving pay-per-view status.
The world of boxing has been flooded with interactions between fighters on social media. If some of the Twitter battles can be turned into autograph matches, it would equate to some exciting events for fans of the sport.
