This surefire PPV contender will pit Romero’s technical grace and power puncher style against Davies’ slick feints and extraordinary defensive footwork. Prepare for a thrilling spectacle when this battle occurs; who will emerge victorious? Tune in to find out!
Introducing the Fight
Rolly was recently ordered by the WBA to defend against Davies. Before a purse bid is issued, the two have 30 days to come to an agreement. Unfortunately for Rolly, he needs the WBA championship to act as an enticement for belt-hungry competitors like Ryan Garcia.
Ryan would have faced Rolly (15-1, 13 KOs), but the WBA has forced him to defend against #1 challenger Davies (25-2, 18 KOs), which is a far riskier battle and NOT a PPV-level contest.
It seems that Rolly is upset with Davies for preventing him from earning a fortune by battling Ryan. Romero undoubtedly wants Davies would vanish because he has a serious possibility of losing this bout and, so his opportunity to earn a huge purse versus Ryan.
What to Expect from this Upcoming Matchup
Ohara has suffered two losses in his professional career, falling to Jack Catterall and Josh Taylor. He has won his past seven matches while looking terrific.
Romero must defeat Ohara, 31, to get a chance to face Ryan Garcia and win a fortune that might change his life. Ryan has stopped talking about wanting to fight Rolly, so it’s not certain that he will.
On May 13 of this year, Rolly defeated Ismael Barroso, 40, by technical knockout in the ninth round.
When referee Tony Weeks intervened and called time on the fight in the ninth round, Barroso was in the lead according to all of the judges’ scores.
Barroso was still retaliating and seemed unharmed, and all of Rolly’s bullets in the climactic exchange were off-target and missed their targets. This led to a contentious halt.
However, Rolly is the WBA champion and, without a step-aside agreement, will likely be defending his title against Davies next. If the well-liked Ryan Garcia was still talking about wanting to fight next, Rolly definitely would stand aside for Davies. However, since Garcia has stopped talking, it is likely that he has lost interest in fighting after witnessing the significant criticism the Barroso fight sparked.
Conclusion
The upcoming fight between Rolly Romero and Ohara Davies is sure to be an exciting spectacle for boxing fans across the world. Both fighters have impressive records that indicate their ability in the ring, making this a match-up worth watching. With WBA champion Rolly looking to defend his title against challenger Davies – who stands in the way of him earning a potential fortune from Ryan Garcia – there’s no telling how it will play out.
