Romero was the aggressor in round 4. Each time he opened up, Davis countered with a hard left hand that stopped the challenger in his tracks. In round 6, Romero pinned Davis to the ropes only to eat a monster left that dropped him

Romero was able to get back to his feet but was visually shaken and hurt which prompted the referee to halt the contest at the 2:39 mark of the round.

The win improved Davis’ perfect record to 27-0 with 25 knockouts while Romero tasted his first defeat and dropped to 14-1 with 12 KOs.
