It's a pre-fight narrative that Romero was hush about, simply saying, "Gervonta Davis' obligations to Mayweather Promotions have nothing to do with me. Yet, he beat the f- out of and you're talking to me about potentially outboxing Gervonta Davis? Shit.ĭavis, after years of intermittent scuffling with Mayweather, said his contract with the promotion will expire after this fight and that he's prepared to go his own way. And the one person that had a f-ing pulse when they fought was 'Pitbull' Cruz and has no boxing ability, whatsoever. It's all smaller dudes and weight-drained opponents. "Everybody outboxes him and everybody punches him in the face. "Everybody talks about Gervonta but he's not even a good boxer," Romero said. The best guess for the real fuel behind Romero's extreme dislike of Davis seems to center upon four distinct categories or events.įirst off, Romero has long publicly clowned Davis for his physical attributes, calling him everything from a dwarf to "an ugly ass motherf-er with a really big head who is going to be pretty hard to miss." Secondly, Romero has been outspoken about Davis' level of matchmaking, which includes a close decision win (despite an injured left hand) over late replacement Isaac Cruz last December after Romero was removed due to sexual assault allegations on social media (although no charges were filed following an investigation). Oscar De La Hoya, for example, claimed to not even remember the evil laugh he was accused of giving in the direction of a fallen Fernando Vargas during a training run years before their memorable 2003 showdown, a PPV billed as "Bad Blood," which was sold on the idea of Vargas seeking revenge for having his honor insulted. It wouldn't be abnormal for the root of a great grudge match between top boxers to be something outright innocuous. "Bold claims and the truth are the same shit." "It's crazy for everybody else but this shit is normal for me," Romero said. Although he's a reporter's dream in a sense that he's a flowing fountain of colorful (and often disparaging) quotes, one is never quite sure whether Romero is the court jester he appears to be at face value or instead a calculated disrupter who is far more "crazy like a fox" than he is outright insane. The 26-year-old native of Las Vegas exudes a level of confidence that is almost maniacal - and a fighting style that is as physical and violent as it is crude for the elite level. If it wasn't personal, he would've never put his f-ing hands on me." Boxing is a very emotional sport and Gervonta is a very emotional person. "I could get struck by f-ing lightning tomorrow and, to me, it's f-ing personal. "Let's say it like this, everything that happens to me, I feel is personal," Romero told "Morning Kombat" on Wednesday. It may come as no surprise given his typically shirtless public swagger and crude way with words that Romero (14-0, 12 KOs) believes his opponent is full of it. Yet the 27-year-old native of Baltimore, Maryland, has maintained that handing the brash Romero his first defeat is far more about business than it is personal. As such, here's a list of the best quotes from the Deadpool franchise (so far), one-liners that left us crying, laughing, and everything in between.Although much of the promotion heading into Saturday's Showtime pay-per-view bout between unbeaten lightweights Gervonta "Tank" Davis and Rolando "Rolly" Romero has centered upon the bad blood between them, the true merits of said beef largely depend upon whom you ask.ĭavis (26-0, 24 KOs), a rising superstar who has headlined PPV cards across three divisions in his last four fights alone, has certainly had little patience for Romero's antics at every turn, dating back to their original fight date of last Dec. His brand of comedy, in fact, is what separated him from other, typical superhero fanfare. A popular theory is that, with the film marking Deadpool's entry into the MCU, this version of Wolverine will be a Variant of some kind (per CinemaBlend).Įither way, one thing is certain: Wade Wilson will continue to charm audiences with his wit and hilarity in Deadpool 3. Since the ferocious mutant met his tragic end in 2017’s Logan, what remains to be seen is how the Deadpool 3 team will approach Wolverine's reincarnation. The film will also see the return of fan-favorite character Wolverine (played by Hugh Jackman). Indeed, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the highly anticipated threequel is scheduled to hit theaters November 8, 2024. Led by Ryan Reynolds, Deadpool is, undeniably, one of the funniest superhero movies of modern history, so it's no surprise it became a critical and commercial success that saw a sequel, Deadpool 2, release shortly after, with Deadpool 3 currently in development.
