Former UFC Champion And Acquaintance of Mike Tyson, Takes $80 Jibe at Rolly Romero vs. Gervonta Davis: “Boxing Does Not Deliver Like the UFC”

Many UFC fighters follow not only MMA but also boxing closely. The former UFC champion who is also Mike Tyson’s friend is one of them. He watched the Gervonta Davis versus Rolando Romero boxing match. However, the former UFC champ was not happy with how it went.

Romero was effectively keeping Davis at a distance. However, in round six, just one punch from Davis ended the fight. Romero thus lost via TKO. Interestingly, this was his first loss in professional boxing.

Henry Cejudo spoke about the match and said, “First of all, I’m kind of pissed that I paid $80 for that damn fight. Second of all, I told you ‘Tank’ Davis was going to beat him. I know you were going for ‘Rolly’. I just thought that fight, I thought Rolly would not, I thought, honestly. I’ll be honest with you, I thought was a boring fight, but I thought Rolly was winning the majority of them rounds.”

“I thought it was boring, Schmo. There was a lot of dancing. There wasn’t real combinations, there wasn’t that they weren’t really boxing. … too much fill for going into half of fight. … Rolly was making a lot of mistakes and Tank wasn’t capitalized on it…”

As a result, Henry Cejudo said, “I’m going to think twice about ordering a freaking boxing fight because it’s just not the UFC… Boxing does not does not deliver like the UFC.”
