The Story of Tim Bradley’s ‘Fraud’ Next Up for Gervonta Davis: ‘Are You Afraid Of His Power?’

Some people are angry with Gervonta Davis because of his matchmaking services.

The Ukrainian boxer Vasiliy Lomachenko abruptly ended negotiations to join forces with “Tank” after the former’s dominant first defense of the WBA Lightweight World Title over the undefeated southpaw Frank Martin.

As if that weren’t bad enough, Shakur Stevenson also fell through, and now Davis has revealed that he will be bringing Lamont Roach Jr., the current WBA Super-Fightweight Champion and an old amateur adversary, to 135 for their next bout.

Legendary boxer Tim Bradley claimed that “Tank’s team were protecting him from top competition” while appearing on State of Boxing on ESPN.

“This program is designed to protect tanks. People, this has been going on for quite some time. Tank gives the impression of being exceptional, but in reality, they’ve been sneaking guys up from lower weight classes to fight alongside him. I’ll tell you straight up: Tank is a solid fighter in my opinion. I have no idea of his actual skill level, but the guy appears to be a complete phony based on his recent encounters.

Bradley continued by claiming that Edwin De Los Santos, who was defeated by Shakur Stevenson for the vacant WBC Lightweight World Title, belonged in the other corner.

He needs to fight someone who can defend themselves. A very intelligent person, similar to his own. Are they claiming that they have no one to challenge him? I think so. In your stable, you do have a competitor. De Los Santos is his name. Neither we nor the fans would object to footing the bill for a bout between De Los Santos.

I have no idea what they’re covering. Are they concerned about De Los Santos’s strength? That he’s a left-handed batter? For the simple reason that Tank was talking nonstop while Shakur lulled everyone to sleep with De Los Santos, but he has no intention of facing De Los Santos in the ring. “That’s the fight that everyone is dying to see.”

From a financial perspective, Bradley thinks the Roach bout will bomb at the box office.
