In his latest appearance on Cigar Talk, the 28-year-old brutally reiterated his views on Isaac Cruz. Additionally, he ridiculed Isaac’s fighting style by referring to the time Gervonta Davis, now Abdul Wahid after converting to Islam, defeated ‘Pitbull’.

When Isaac Cruz and Gervonta Davis shared the ring in 2021, the latter fought with an injured hand. However, Davis managed to defeat Cruz via UD to retain his WBA Lightweight title. As a result, on Cigar Talk, Rolly Romero brutally ridiculed Cruz. On being asked how he analyzed Cruz’s fighting style, the current WBA Super-Lightweight champion pointed out that Cruz lacked defense.

A dead chihuahua,” reiterated Rolly Romero. “Real comfort, eats a lot of punches with people that don’t punch. Like, don’t know how to punch with a broken hand,” added Romero. In this context, since Romero indirectly claimed that Gervonta Davis could not punch, it must be mentioned that ‘Tank’ knocked out ‘Rolly’ in the 6th round of their 2022 fight.

Anyway, although Romero compared Cruz to a dead chihuahua, ‘Pitbull’ remained unfazed.
