Gervonta Davis knocking out Rolando Romero in slow motion is boxing poetry

If there is one thing you have to watch today, then it is Gervonta Davis’ knockout of Rolando Romero.

The American lightweight beat Romero in what was generally a very contained affair – with the only exception being that one moment which made every fan’s day. 

For six rounds, the duo fought like two boxers who didn’t have any previous history or any verbal exchanges. It was all very professional, so to speak.

Then, as Romero had Davis on the ropes – literally – planning to throw a string of punches at him, he channeled his inner Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson all at once, knocking him out with just one blow; the perfect left hand counter. 

Romero didn’t have any answer to it. While it seemed brilliant in real-time, it is even better in slow motion, and we can’t thank Twitter enough for posting it. 

Look at the sheer ruthlessness of the punch. You could watch it over and over and over again and never be tired.
