Not to beat a dead horse but its just a massively dumb short sighted stunt for Davis. May weather just needs to sit down and stfu up already and Davis needs to get the hell away from Floyd's shadow. This is worse than some circus act Butterbean shat.
Floyd obviously sees Davis as somebody who could eventually do big PPV numbers and this must fit into some hare brained scheme to PPVise him. Is all I can think of. But like you say he's much smaller than Floyd and he's struggling at the weight he's at now. I have a feeling for all the obvious skill that he could have a Broner like career, a bully at lower weights but unable to handle it when he moves up. He's even got some of the same out of the ring issues that Broner has I think although could be misremembering. He's going to be fun to watch though.
I believe he's being sued right now for allegedly going all Ike Turner on some stripper and hex was on his best behaviour Saturday. The saying goes you're as good as the company you keep. He and Broner are always hanging together. Really does make Mayweather look like a dim bulb.
Lovely. Maybe Floyd thinks keeping him busy and in the gym might delay the point where he properly fucks it up. Hopefully he manages a few meaningful fights before the inevitable happens.

Meaning what.. that he doesn't really mean it and you're the only one wise enough to know better? :rolleyes:
Apparently it IS true, and Floyd's calling it an exhibition match, as if any other rising star had time to devote to a meaningless exhibition fight in Japan.
It's a waste of everyone's time, and I'm surprised young Gervonta is going along with it.
Being "on a string" would implicate someone who actually gave a shit what Floyd does and doesn't do.
That automatically eliminates me. ;)
As long as it doesn't hurt boxing, Floyd and his unfortunate proteges can fight Snow White's seven dwarfs for all I care.

Re: Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz
Hey I hope you’re right Ron, as would most, but who benefits from having us on this string? Nobody knew who the guy Floyd just fought was, and most have surely forgotten. If you mean it’s some silly gimmick to announce the fight, why not just have him do some staged thing in a strip club on Instagram or something, as seems to work so well. I don’t think anyone in their target market posts on this forum if that’s the case. Why wouldn’t he try and just get Davis proper fights? We can all see he’s extremely good, there are only a few guys who’d have any chance of beating him, let’s see em? Floyd didn’t have the luxury of fucking around like this for many, many years when he was fighting.

Re: Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz
Davis got $1million for that pathetic mismatch which is all Floyd and Ellerbe were bragging about afterwards. They don't even pretend it's a sport anymore, it's all about the hustle/scam, they've won back an audience who are more concerned with "sticking it to the man" than who's the best boxer.
It's not a coincidence Al Haymon came from the music business or has captured a certain market who admire Broner.

He had a chance at a name fight, which is what got him his check not the replacement opponent as Fenster tries to make it appear, he lost that opportunity to build his brand. So now he has an opponent that nobody cares about. Was his fight last weekend or the weekend before? I forget because who cares. Yet here we are talking about Davis. Name is still out there, we don’t get what’s happening here?

I'll make it easy for you to understand - Star Wars? Now check this shit - those movies are about how the white man keeps the brother-man down--even in a galaxy far far away. You got cracker farmboy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy blond hair blue eyes. Then you got Darth Vader, blackest brother in the galaxy. Nubian god!
Now. Vader, he's a spiritual brother, down with the force and all that good shit. Then this cracker Skywalker gets his hands on a lightsaber, and the boy decides HE'S gonna run the whole fucking universe! Gets a whole KLAN of whites together and they go bust up Vader's hood, the Death Star! Now what the fuck do you call that? GENTRIFICATION!!!
They gonna drive out the black element to make the galaxy quote-unquote safe for white folks! In "Jedi," the most insulting installment, Vader's beautiful black visage is SULLIED when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty old white man! They trying to tell us that deep inside, the black man wants to be WHITE!!!
So what i'm really thinking is - the chickens are coming home to roost, y'all. The black man is no longer going to be playing the minstrel in the medium of sports and entertainment. They keeping it real! And going to get respect by any means necessary.

Re: Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz
Well his extended post fight went well...arrest warrant issued for incident a week after this fight. Assaulted some dude at the mall and shoved/assaulted a cop :vd:.
This guy isn't too bright.

Re: Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz
I’m not at all surprised. When Broner is your best friend it is really telling about the kind of person you are

Re: Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz
Gervonta Davis next fight: Young star reportedly planned for July 27 in Baltimore – Yuriorkis Gamboa and Ricardo Nunez potential opponents
The WBA super-featherweight champion is heading for a homecoming defence
Gervonta Davis’ second bout of 2019 is being plotted for July 27 at the Royal Farms Arena in his hometown of Baltimore, according to reports.
The two-time super-featherweight titlist knocked out late replacement opponent Hugo Ruiz within one round on February 9 and is looking to get back out again relatively quickly.
It’s claimed by BoxingScene that 37-year-old former unified champion Yuriorkis Gamboa is being ‘seriously considered’ as the opponent for Davis.
However a mandatory defence against Ricardo Nunez is also possible.
https://talksport.com/wp-content/upl...60&quality=100
Initially, Gervonta Davis was the IBF super-featherweight champion – taking the title from Jose Pedraza in January 2017.
After coming to London to stop Liam Walsh in his first defence, ‘Tank’ then lost this belt as he came in overweight against Francisco Fonseca, who he knocked out the following day.
Last year, Gervonta received the opportunity to fight for a version of the WBA title and won it by thrashing Jesus Cuellar.
He was then out of the ring for ten months until his last bout against Ruiz and so hopes to remain active and compete at least three times in 2019.

Re: Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz
I am not interested in his fights at this point unless he is going to be fighting a top opponent.
-
Re: Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz
Feels like a guy who just lost a bigger name fight in his last start should look to make one next time out. Pole axing unknown Nunez who is stil fighting 8 rounders will satisfy only the mandatory not the fans. Gamboa brings a name but talk about an erratic less fulfilled career and oddly Davis is giving off some similar vibes.

Right. They are playing the long game but I don’t think Davis has the mentality for it. Talent fades, fundamentals stand the test of time. Kid is talented, shoot for the stars and see where you land. But no, that’s not the sport. They’ll give 3 years of crap fights before 1 we want.
-
Re: Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz
Wow Gamboa would have provided an amazing war six or seven years ago, probably before he pulled out of the Brandon Rios fight. But now...
I don't mind a few stay-busy fights as long as he faces Lomachenko in the not-too-distant future, and for the moment it doesn't give me the feeling he'll end up wasting too much time like Yuriorkis did. He's still 24 so let's hope...
-
Re: Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz
With Gamboa we don't know who was controlling his career really. Wasn't it Puig the Cuban baseball player who was basically held hostage when he left Cuba and sold to the highest bidder.? Maybe something like that happened to Gamboa and he had to pay somebody a chunk of his earnings. It kinds looks like he was managed by somebody who was just looking for a payday. He signed with that idiot rapper that rurned out to have no money and couldn't make a deal with another promoter for any decent fights and then spent years out of the ring for whatever reason.
Davis just seems similar to Broner. He's better to watch though but the fights they're making for him are awful. Considering Haymon is promoting him that would seem to be by design rather than by accident. Something is wrong somewhere even apart from the stuff we know about.

Re: Gervonta Davis vs. Hugo Ruiz
Abner Mares is gearing up for a significant bout against Gervonta Davis, fueled by a determination to silence doubters who question his ability to handle Davis's power and youth. His frustration at a press conference stemmed from dismissive comments, highlighting his extensive career achievements and resilience in facing tough challenges throughout. With trainer Robert Garcia's unwavering support and strategic guidance, Mares is focused on proving his capabilities in what promises to be a pivotal fight. Despite being perceived as an underdog, Mares remains steadfast in his pursuit of a career-defining victory, emphasizing his commitment to boxing legacy and the importance of this upcoming match in his journey.
