Instead, it was Romero who was left standing and stunned like Chris Tucker in “Rush Hour” after Tank’s haymaker counter left hook ended his night. I didn’t even throw it that hard and he’s the one who ran into it, when he was talking that it was going to be me.” Something like when Manny Pacquiao got caught. “The crazy thing is that I didn’t even throw it that hard,” continued Davis. I just got out of the way at the same time.” I caught him coming in, you know what I mean? I knew he was going to come in eventually because he wanted to hit me so hard.

Brooklyn born and raised and still loved to this very day because of what they represent. I was stunned because I hadn’t realized that the young fighter from Baltimore had amassed such a strong fanbase in NY that quickly.īut then again, NY loves hard-working, tough, powerful yet soft spoken fighters. Not because he didn’t deserve it, because he did. When he was announced, the Barclays exploded with admiration. In a card that featured Jermall Charlo and Adrien Broner, Tank stole the show. What I didn’t know was just how much my city had embraced him. I knew Tank was good and had begun his ascent. I can attest to that because I was there, three rows from the ring. Tank first secured the love and support of New York in 2017, but the City officially granted him his star a year later when he faced Jesus Cuellar back in Brooklyn in April of 2018. Stars must shine bright on the biggest stage and there is no bigger stage or brighter lights than New York City.Īthletes who earn respect in New York are certified.Įven if you’re hated by New York fans, you can earn the respect of those very fans and still earn your cred. I won my first belt here and it was great to come back to Brooklyn and do it again.” “We did it again in New York City baby,” said Davis.

Tank Davis (27-0, 25 KOs), the five-time world champion and pride of Baltimore, defended his WBA Lightweight title. When Romero failed to follow his instructions, the referee waved his hands and fans from Brooklyn down 95 to Baltimore exploded once more.

His body said yes, but his mind had already shut down for the night. Romero got to his feet, but his face told the story.
