While Olympic newcomers Denmark took on the spoiler role, advancing after beating Latvia 3-2.

“They were tough on us, they won more battles. And that’s how you win hockey games, and we didn’t do it consistently enough throughout the game. Obviously, this tournament didn’t go the way we planned, as we expected, but it’s just a small setback. We have to work on the small details, and we will come back stronger.” said Germany striker Tom Kuhnhackl.

Rolly Romero Warns Gervonta Davis Not To Resign

Rolly Romero Warns Gervonta Davis Not To Resign

Rolly Romero Warns Gervonta Davis Not To Back Down – Rolando Romero (Rolly) warns WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis (Tank) not to withdraw from their still scheduled fight. Ropando is required for the 135-lb WBA ‘regular’ title vs Gervonta. So he was in a position where he had to defend against it. If he doesn’t want his title to be revoked by the sanctioning body. Gervonta is not expected to back down from the fight with undefeated Rolly as this is an internal fight for his promoter at Mayweather Promotions. In addition, Rolly will do all the hard work to promote the fight with his speaking ability.

Gervonta is completely lacking in his ability to promote his fights and bullshit. That’s why his promoter Floyd Mayweather Jr. speaks for him so often. For this fight, Gervonta and Mayweather can sit back and let Rolly do all the promotions in a one-man show. Entertaining the media as Conor McGregor did the heavy lifting for Floyd with his chat giveaway for their fight in 2017. Tanks have been matched against many smaller fighters, who are at a disadvantage against him. When Gervonta rose to 140, he fought a drained, light-weight secondary WBA champion. Mario Barrios instead of the undisputed four-belt champion Josh Taylor.

Rolly Romero Lacks Experience

It was a weaker move on Tank’s part to take on Barrios than Taylor. But he has already shown his reluctance to face the best by choosing not to fight Vasily Lomachenko for years. Now that Tank is back at 135, he still prefers not to mix it up with Lomachenko, Ryan Garcia, George Kambosos, and Devin Haney. Tank promoter Floyd Mayweather Jr has boxed it up. Separate them from elite-level fighters in the lightweight class, and match them against competitors.

It’s hard to know if Rolly will beat Tank. Because he wasn’t up against an opponent qualified enough to get a good measure. About what he was capable of against the top lightweights. Indeed, Rolly has never faced a single top competitor in his six-year professional career. The best people Rolly has ever faced as a pro has been less than great opponents.

Chris Colbert vs Hector Luis Garcia bout February 26

Chris Colbert vs Hector Luis Garcia bout February 26

Chris Colbert vs Hector Luis Garcia bout February 26 – Chris Colbert will take on Hector Luis Garcia in the WBA Super Featherweight World Title Race on February 26. Last July, 25-year-old Cobert (6-0, 6 KOs) defeated Tugstsogt Nyampay by 12 rounds unanimous decision. It was a good performance, but not the most entertaining fight. Colbert isn’t an aggressive person, so we’ll see if he can handle the power of Garcia, who has strength and talent. Don’t be surprised if Colbert loses this fight. Colbert was a good boxer, but he was understaffed.

His best chance of making anything happen at 130 is to stay away from talented fighters at heavyweights like Shakur Stevenson, Oscar Valdez, and Shavkat Rakhimov. Promoter Colbert asked him to target WBA super featherweight champion, Roger Gutierrez. Because he is seen as the weakest link among the champions at 130 in the eyes of many boxing fans. Similarly, 35-year-old Daniel Jacobs lost in a 12-round split decision last Saturday night. Fight John Ryder at Alexandra Palace in London, England.

Colbert and Daniel Jacobs Seen as the Weakest Link

The loss to Jacobs, though close, could be the end for him as a good headliner. Jacobs spent most of the fight, making the match difficult to watch. The referee gave former IBF/WBA middleweight champion Jacobs a massive break by not taking points.

“I think it’s very close. John starts slow in the fight but comes back later. Danny is a very experienced fighter. He knows how to deal with it, but I think it could happen. Fair game for John Ryder. It was his chance to get in there tonight and move on to the big nights he’d been waiting for so long. Danny Jacobs, you have to respect him. He came to London. He doesn’t need to do that. What he did in his career, he didn’t have to come to London.” Frank Smith of Matchroom told Boxing Social.
