In a few minutes, Gervonta Davis will step into the ring to face Rolly Romero for the WBA Lightweight World Title in Brooklyn. On the other hand, in the penultimate fight of the card, Erislandy Lara showcased his best boxing skills to retain his WBA Middleweight World Title against Irishman Gary O'Sullivan after winning by KOT.
Unlike other nights, the Cuban doesn't put the fans to sleep with his exquisite defense, but rather goes forward and strikes with power at 160 pounds. He had already shown this when he became champion in middleweight for the first time.
On the other hand, tonight, Erislandy Lara didn't showcase his best performance, but rather a great technique to land all kinds of punches on an Irishman who showed few arguments to harm the champion. The first knockdown came in the fourth round after a left cross, while in the eighth, the referee took pity on Sullivan and ended the fight.
