It was a good opening feel out round for White and Perez. Nothing exciting for the crowd until White landed a perfect overhand right that knocked Perez off balance causing his glove to touch the canvas. Referee David Braslow gave Perez the eight count as the bell sounded to end the round. In round two White maintained a easy pace by keeping his jab going to trick Perez into slacking off his defense. White came out in the third round using his jab and then followed it with a hard right hand to drop Perez to the canvas. Perez made it to his feet and finished the round but it came with a price. White was in full control of the fight as he stood in the center of the ring and just boxed Perez with the basics. White sent Perez down to the canvas with a two punch combination in round five. After being knocked down a couple of times Perez kept coming forward even with his lack of offense to fight off White. White opened a cut over the right eye of Perez causing referee David Braslow to call timeout so the ringside physician could look at the cut. Perez got the okay to continue and he finished round six. After going to his corner the fight was waived off after the sixth round was completed. 

Jordan White improves to (12-1, 9 KO's) while Perez now has a record of (15-5-2,10 KO's)

Williams decided to exchange punches on the inside with Becerril but that worked in the shorter Becerril's favor with him landing some good body shots. Even when Williams wasn't using his jab he was able to land some good counter right hands when Becerril slowed his punch output down. In the fifth-round Williams was landing shots that Becerril gave a response that looked to have him wobbled but he returned with his own shots that backed Williams into a corner. Williams closed the final round by deciding to use his jab to set up some right hands. Becerril spent most of that round using defense. All three judges saw the contest for Williams with the scores of 60-57 and 59-55 twice.

Gervonta Davis and Rolando Romero Press Conference Quotes

Gervonta “Tank” Davis and unbeaten lightweight contender Rolando “Rolly” Romero faced off Thursday after their press conference to preview their upcoming showdown for Davis’ WBA Lightweight Championship that will take place live on SHOWTIME PPV Sunday, December 5 at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on a Premier Boxing Champions event.

GERVONTA DAVIS

“I’m thankful to be here to give the fans another great fight. This is what we do. ‘Rolly’ is just here to talk. He’s trying to talk his way into winning, but he’s scared. I’m coming to fight."

“They only talk about his power, but this is boxing, and his skills are not up to par with mine. He can’t even talk about energy because everyone knows I’m bringing it. You can shoot bullets, but how will you defend yourself when the shots are fired back?"

“He’s been talking for a long time. He’s trying to sell a fight, but I’m going to show him that he’s a chump on December 5. I’m not here to talk, and I’m here to fight. I don’t take this personally. To me, this isn’t beef, and this is business."

“I was on a mission when I fought Jose Pedraza for the title. I didn’t do the trash-talking. I went in there and proved that I’m a top guy. This guy is just here to talk. I’m going to do the talking in the ring on December 5."

“His trainer isn’t working on anything but power, and they aren’t working on any skills. He hasn’t fought anybody like me, and he’s going to see the difference."

“I’ve never once turned down any fight. I’m not scared of anybody. I’m going to fight everybody. I’ll fight a heavyweight. This is nothing to me, and I’ve survived a lot of stuff."

“He’s supposed to come here and sell the fight. I’m supposed to win, and I’d instead punish him for 12 rounds than knock him out quick. Part of me wants to humble him, but the most important thing to do is go out there and get the job done."

“This fight is for the fans. The fans are winning on December 5. Make sure you come out and support. I’m thankful to be in this position, and it’s all about my team and those people who have put me in a great position.”

*****************************************************************

ROLANDO ROMERO

“Everyone’s going to see December 5; I’m going to knock Gervonta the f*** out. I hope you hear that."

“I’ve been calling ‘Tank’ out since 2017. We were supposed to spar in 2018, and he didn’t show up to the gym. He did that twice because he knew he was getting beat. December 5, you’re getting knocked out."

“This is just who I am. This is how I was born. I came into this sport at 17-years-old, and I’ve made the most out of what I’ve done. Everybody watch me knock him out on December 5."

“He’s got such a big head, and it’s going to be hard to miss it. He gets touched up by every opponent he faces, Leo Santa Cruz beat him up, and Barrios got to him too."

“He wants to run out of the ring whenever he gets hit. It happens in sparring and the amateurs. I was the one who had to force this fight because I’ve seen for years that he’s a chump. He’s made a career out of beating up 126-pounders."

“He doesn’t know half the stuff that I’ve seen and been through. I’m here to knock him out in the ring. He’s arrogant and tries to act like he’s tough, but I’m knocking him out."

“Manny Pacquiao has an awkward style too, and look at everything he’s accomplished. Just because I fight differently, does that mean I don’t have skills? I have my skills, and they’ve gotten me this far."

“I’m not going into the ring angry, and I’m just focused.”

******************************************************************

FLOYD MAYWEATHER

“These are two great fighters. And when I say great, I mean that every time they go out there, they produce. ‘Tank’ is a young kid from Baltimore who had a dream. He’s been through a lot, and he fought his way to the top. You have to commend him for that. No matter what anyone says, he earned his stripes."

“I believe ‘Tank’ is one of the best fighters in the world. ‘Rolly’ says he wants to fight the best. Come December 5, and it’s going to be a hell of a fight."

“’Rolly’ is tricky. He’ll fight anybody, and that eagerness makes this an intriguing matchup. ‘Rolly’ wants to prove he’s the best, and he’s also a hell of a puncher. Every time we presented an opponent to him, he’s accepted every one of them."

“’Tank’ is doing record-breaking numbers. I always told him it would come in due time. I told him that the same way I sell out arenas, you’re going to do the same thing one day. He had patience, and that’s what we’re doing."

“These guys are the future of boxing. I don’t see this fight going the distance. Two undefeated knockout artists. Two champions. December 5, I’ll see everyone there.”

******************************************************************

CALVIN FORD

“I hope you keep up this talking ‘Rolly.’ We’ll see who’s still going to be talking at the end of the night on December 5."

“Romero has an awkward style, but the beauty of having two coaches with ‘Tank’ is that there’s nothing we aren’t ready for."

“Having Barry Hunter be a part of the camp has helped calm ‘Tank’ down in many ways. I think everyone will see the beauty of us working together in this fight."

“I don’t train ‘Tank’ for knockouts, and I train him to go the distance. He can get you from round 1 to 12. So you better stay sharp.”

******************************************************************

BARRY HUNTER

“Everyone knows what we’re coming to do, and I have mad respect for the other side. Bring your A-game, because we’re going to bring ours."

“We’re born for stuff like this right here. As everyone said, there’s no way this fight goes the distance."

“Everybody is working hard to be at their best because we don’t want any excuses after it’s over with. I have faith in Gervonta, and I know what he’s going to do.”

*****************************************************************

BULLET CROMWELL

“I know what everybody is saying about who the champ is coming into this, but the champ wasn’t born a champ, and he had to rise too. Just like a young lion, ‘Rolly’ is ready to rise."

“I’m an L.A. guy. When we come back here, we’re fighting for a legacy, and it’s not just a belt and money."

“I told ‘Rolly’ that Gervonta Davis is standing in the way of changing your family and your legacy. We got a job to do."

“I don’t care about pure boxing or any style. I took karate, street-fighting, and boxing, and I put it all together. Combined with a puncher with ‘Rolly’s power and with his grind and grit, it’s a perfect match."

“I have a lot of respect for ‘Tank’ and his team. He’s a great fighter, but Rolly is next up, and he’s going to be the new WBA champion on December 5.”

*****************************************************************

LEONARD ELLERBE

“We’re excited to bring this massive event to Los Angeles at STAPLES Center on Sunday, December 5. This is a tremendous matchup, and the fans should be excited. There’s a lot of buzz already, and tickets are going fast."

“These fighters genuinely despise each other, and you rarely see that in boxing. In 2019, Floyd and I were at the Errol Spence Jr. vs. Mikey Garcia, and we were talking, and all of a sudden, Davis and Romero were ready to go at it at ringside. Floyd told them that they could do it in the ring, and now here we are."

“’ Tank’ is without a doubt the most exciting fighter in the world, and he’s also one of the biggest attractions and one of the best fighters in the world. ‘Rolly’ has let it be known that he’s been ‘trolling’ ‘Tank,’ and I’m sure on December 5, ‘Tank’ will be doing whatever he can to shut ‘Rolly’ up."

“’ Rolly’ is a very explosive fighter, and anytime he steps into the ring, he’s looking to get his opponent out of there. He never lacks confidence, and he’s confident that on December 5, he’s getting the job done."

“With two tremendous power punchers like this, there’s no way this fight doesn’t end in a knockout. Tune on December 5 and expect someone to get knocked out.”

******************************************************************

STEPHEN ESPINOZA

“For SHOWTIME Sports, 2021 has been one of the most vital years on record. We have delivered a total of 42 events, half of which ended in knockouts. On December 5, I expect this won’t go the distance, either, with these two hard hitters."

“Week after week, year after year, SHOWTIME continues to be the standard of this sport. No one in combat sports is putting on better or more meaningful fights than us."

“As we enter Gervonta’s 11th fight with SHOWTIME, he has never been down, and he has continued to shine. When other fighters are talking, ‘Tank’ is fighting and selling out arenas."

“’Rolly’ has also never been downed as a pro. He is a hard hitter and is one of the best talents in boxing, and he will be the first to tell you.”
