'Tank' Davis all set to roll over Romero

GERVONTA 'TANK' DAVIS is an exceptional fighter, a pound-for-pound contender in my eyes. He just needs to be in better fights.

Rolando Romero thinks he meets that criteria this weekend at New York's Barclays Centre. He might be in for a rude awakening.

Davis is only five feet, five-and-a-half inches tall. But he is a real athlete, an explosive, powerful puncher, who makes that extra half-inch count in devastating fashion.

His surly attitude might not be a selling point but for me he is very special. He should be the fighter everybody is talking about.

For that to happen, he needs to be winning that genuine WBA lightweight title, not the dumbed-down regular version.
