"He's not an awkward fighter" - Gervonta Davis labels Rolando Romero a "dumba**"

Gervonta Davis and Rolando Romero traded insults in their final media press conference for their fight on Saturday night. The two will clash at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, with the WBA Lightweight Title on the line.

Rolando Romero has become known for his 'awkward' style of fighting, which often baffles opponents and onlookers. He has an undefeated record of 14-0 with 12 KOs, so something about his fighting style has been working. However, Davis disagrees with the label Romero has been given:

"I don't think he's awkward. I just think that he's a fighter that just started fighting. You know how when somebody just first comes in the gym and they've been coming for a little minute so they start thinking they're nice now? They didn't get everything down pat, but that's how he fights."

'Tank' doubled down on his take:

"I don't think he's nice. Awkward is different from him. He's not awkward. Real fighters know awkward fighters. He's not an awkward fighter, he's just a dumba** fighter. I'm not trying to be funny."

Even though he'd made the audience laugh, Davis was serious with his explanation. He truly believes that Romero's style is not unique enough to be considered awkward. Rather, 'Tank' feels that his upcoming opponent has sloppy skills and is someone who doesn't have the right technique yet.
