Terenka Crawford revealed his reluctance to Gervont “Tank” by Davis and said Shakur Stevenson defeated him. Crawford says that he chooses the WBC Lightweight Stevenson master to defeat Tank because he would not be able to “land his shots on him.” His defense is too good.
Terenka does not say how Stevenson can overcome Tank if his goal is to lack commitment and avoid hit. That’s all he does, and fans hate this archaic return of the Hit-And-Get-Hit style at the beginning of 2000. If Crawford’s efforts regarding the trash of the tank in the fight with a friend Shakur, he would make him really solid, but it will not work. Gervont was not born yesterday. He knows what Crawford is trying to do.
Shakur (22-0, 10 KO) begged for the fight against the Supergwiade Tank Davis (30-0, 28 KO), because he moved to 135 in 2024, but he did nothing to sell as a dignified division call with him. Shakur has performed badly in the last two fights with Art Harutyunyan and Edwin de Los Santos. He had fans who leave Harutynaan and win him out of existence in a duel de los Santos.
Crawford’s personal reluctance to Davis
“He wouldn’t even think about reaching 154,” said Crawford Cigar conversation About Gervont Davis. “Yes, if he could choose an opponent,” Terenki said, asked if Tank would take place until 147.
“If Tank could choose his opponent, he would do it, but he would never come from 135 to 154,” said Crawford, not realizing that Tank had already moved two divisions. I really don’t like this guy because I don’t like him. I don’t like anything about it.
“I feel that he is one of those arrogant petite contributions that he uses what he had to protect him. He has many bodyguards around him and knows that he is in the center of attention. In some situations he would not be kept in this way, ‘said Crawford.
Tank Davis has already moved two weight classes at the age of 126 from the beginning of his career. Why would he go up the next three divisions to fight for 154? What is it all about? Yes, Crawford is a former world champion with four divisions, but he did not fight the great opposition in these weight classes. He moves to 168 to one -time to get the day of payment against Canelo Alvarez. It’s not like Crawford will stay there later.
He simply goes to Paydation, survives and will probably retire or return from where he came at the age of 154. If he returns to Junior Medium weight, it will only be the cherry of Sebastian Fund, a sensitive master. He does not intend to fight a good one, such as Bakrahm Murtazaliev, Vergil Ortiz Jr, Serhii Bohachuk or Israil Madrimov rematch.
“He is a damn good warrior, I respect him as a warrior. He has skills, has power and has great boxing ability. But his basic personality and his paths, no. I got Shakur, “said Crawford, asked who would win the fight between Tank Davis and Shakur Stevenson.
“As I said, I respect the tank. In boxing, he is one of those. We will get his personality and personal belongings out of this. He is definitely talented in boxing and he definitely has it. Definitely respected in boxing, but Shakur is another warrior. “
Shakur: lifeless truth
Crawford is right. Shakur is a “other warrior”, but he is poisonous for fans and is not good for sport when it comes to his height. It is no coincidence that Shakura’s fight with Floyd Schofield was buried on Saturday’s card on February 22 in Riyadh. It was placed here for obvious reasons.
“Shakur is different. People can say it’s lifeless. People can say that they can’t hit, but they said the same thing about Floydie because they are defensive fighters, “said Crawford. “Tank will not be able to hit Shakur, as if he hit everyone else. He knows it and that’s why he is lifeless. He is like that, he is like that. “
I hate to break this Crawford, but Tank would be able to hit Shakur and hurt him. It is not inviolable. Terenka could give his opinion that Shakur is not able to observe, as he defeated the smaller opposition in recent years, but he is definitely hit, unless he escapes. He should have lost the fight against Edwin de Los Santos because he did not throw blows.
“He tries to reduce everything that Shakur did, so he couldn’t be sold,” said Crawford. “But he can’t do it because Shakur is a world champion in three importance. How many real titles did the tank have? How two? Real titles. [Jose] Pedraza, Pedraza exhausted. Let’s do it on an equal pitch. Give this man time for training. “
Gervont says it as if it was lifeless because that’s the truth. Fighters who have this style are so afraid of hitting that they will not touch. They must be praised from sport.
“The tank is great for what he does, and I respect the tank in the ring and its skills, its power and attributes. He is shrewd. He may weigh his **. I’m not saying that I would choose Shakur only because of our differences. I tell you as a warrior. I would choose Shakur because not a Think Tank would be able to land shots on him, as if he did everything else. Shakura’s defense is too tight.
Zab Judah has made a bold prediction ahead of tonight’s world title battle between Rolly Romero and Teofimo Lopez.
Romero defends his WBA welterweight title against Lopez at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas this evening, competing for the first time since his unanimous decision victory over Ryan Garcia in May 2025.
Lopez is attempting to become a three-division world champion after previously holding world honours at lightweight and super-lightweight, but his reign at 140lbs came to an end in January when he lost his WBO crown to Shakur Stevenson.
One man who knows what it is like to be world champion at both 140lbs and 147lbs is Judah, who notably became undisputed at welterweight back in 2005.
Speaking to MillCity BoxingJudah revealed that he is backing Romero to claim the upset victory tonight and successfully defend his belt against Lopez.
“In the past when we’ve seen Rolly in preparation for a fight, he was always on the internet saying crazy s**t, doing crazy things, this time we don’t see any of that. He’s locked in, he’s training, and I predict that Rolly Romero is going to beat Teofimo Lopez.
“From what I’ve been hearing about him in training, he’s been doing good and knocking people out.”
The winner of tonight’s bout has already been linked to a unification fight against the victor of the upcoming WBC welterweight title fight between Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn, while there are also possible match-ups with WBO champion Devin Haney or IBF champion Liam Paro.
Former undisputed champion Antonio Tarver has considered the keys to victory, while also offering a prediction, for both Teofimo Lopez and Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero.
The pair will collide at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena in the early hours of tomorrow morning, with Romero making a first defence of his WBA world title.
He was upgraded to full welterweight champion last year, having claimed the ‘regular’ belt by dropping and unanimously outpointing Ryan Garcia in May 2025.
After that, Rolly had been in talks with Devin Haney and Conor Benn, only to incur over a year of inactivity and agree to face Lopez instead.
Entering their showdown as a slight favourite, ‘The Takeover’ has moved up to 147lbs and is bidding to become a three-weight world champion.
Unlike Romero, though, Lopez is coming off a surprisingly one-sided points defeat to Shakur Stevensonwho dethroned him for the WBO super-lightweight title in January.
It is therefore difficult to predict which version of the 29-year-old will turn up, yet Hall of Famer Tarver has nonetheless told Fight Hub TV that he is backing Lopez.
“[it will be] high volume if Teo looks to win this thing impressively. He’s going to have to let his hands go, and Rolly’s going to have to try and catch him in the mix of all that.
“I don’t think Rolly can outbox Teo round after round; I think Rolly has to do something big – hurt him with something, knock him down and maybe even stop him.
“Smart money [is on Lopez]. It’s difficult to have your way with [Romero]; you have to be somewhat of a real, elite fighter. We still believe Teo, at his best, has those types of attributes.”
Many would agree that a points decision is Lopez’ clearest route to victory, while Romero may need to make use of his power and engineer an inside-the-distance finish.
Evander Holyfield was unsure who to favour in a fantasy showdown between Oleksandr Usyk and one of his former rivals.
Like Holyfield, Usyk became the consensus top dog at 200lbs before moving up to heavyweight and, once again, cementing himself as the very best.
Even while contending with a notable size disadvantage, the Ukrainian was able to dethrone Anthony Joshua before eventually becoming the undisputed king against Tyson Fury.
Having twice beaten the two Brits, Usyk is now widely regarded as one of the all-time greats, among the likes of HolyfieldMuhammad Ali and Joe Louis.
At the same time, though, Holyfield is not convinced that the unbeaten southpaw would have defeated a prime Mike Tyson.
‘The Real Deal’ fought ‘Iron’ Mike in 1996, causing a sizable upset by stopping the formidable puncher in round 11, before winning their immediate rematch via an infamous third-round disqualification.
And while this was not even the most formidable version of Tyson, Holyfield would nonetheless back his former foe to defeat the majority of heavyweights throughout history.
When it comes to a clash with Usyk, however, the American has told Daily Mail Boxing that he would struggle to predict a winner.
“I don’t exactly know [who would win] that one.”
Like Usyk, Tyson was never the biggest heavyweight but, because of his speed and explosiveness he was able to win his first 19 fights by knockout and become a dominant world champion during the late 1980s.
Usyk, on the other hand, relies more on his technical prowess and, against Tyson, would need to be almost punch-perfect in order to emerge victorious.
