As the famously retired football Marshawn Lynch said: “Nothing better than solid.” And when it comes to the world of boxing, Saturday’s duel of Gervonta Davis and Lamont Roach Jr. It’s just like this: solid.

Davis, a airy WBA master, is a favorite of fans known for bold ways and knockout. He will defend his title against Roach, a warrior with whom he shares the competition, which dates back to 2011 when they were amateurs.

Roach has been the best pretender for a long time, and in 2023 he captured the lightweight WBA Junior belt. But his career was not deprived of failures. In November 2019, he faced Jamel Herring with a airy WBO Junior title and lost by a unanimous decision. This experience taught him valuable lessons for the next fight for the title.

This will happen four years later in November 2023, and the demanding work and dedication of Roach changed things best when he faced Hector Luis Garcia, an opponent of Davis 10 months earlier. In a close fight, Roach staged an impressive match, shooting knocking down in the final round and eventually winning with a divided decision. Since then, he once defended his title, winning in the eighth round over the previously undefeated Feargal McCrory in June last year.

Now Roach (25-1-1, 10 KO) sets its views on a bold up-to-date goal: winning the world title in the second weight class. But he is in the face of Davis’s “tank” (30-0, 28 KO), one of the most threatening and exhilarating boxing warriors, whose reputation in the ring is nothing low.

Let’s look at the duel, explain the styles of both fighters and predict how the fight can take place.

Promoter Eddie Hearn says that he wants WBC to be obligatory William Zepeda to be another opponent of Shakur Stevenson if he wins in his rematch with Tevin Farmer on March 29 at Cancun.

Hearn states that Zepeda (32-0, 29 KO) was part of his original plan of three fights for Shakur (23-0, 11 KO) after he signed him, and still wants it to happen. The original road map, which Hearn had for Stevenson, when he dropped him into a contract with Mathroom, was aimed at taking these fights in this order:

1. Floyd Schofield
2. William Zepeda
3. Gervonta Davis

The match Schofield broke up after he pulled out the disease last week, thanks to which Hearn is necessary to apply for an exchange. He chose a pretender to Fringe, Josh Padley, who turned out to be a mistake on his part because he made Stevenson look like an average warrior in a lost effort.

Not Zepeda, what now?

Hearn wants to continue his original plan to exploit Zepeda as a stepping stone to get a fight with the tank, but it is not clear if it will happen. The head of Golden Boy, Oscar de la Hoya, died down, wanting to fight between Zeda and Shakur. It’s understandable why.

Zepeda can earn a lot more money by fighting Tank Davis than to face Stevenson, who is not an attraction of PPV, and the fight would cause a very diminutive interest in fans. What’s more, Shakur was running around the ring for 12 rounds, as he did against Edwin de Los Santos, playing on the playground for children. This is not engaging for fighters such as Zepeda, Golden Boy or fans.

“I don’t think you will see him in the ring until the back of the summer and we still want what we were promised in the road map, i.e. [William] Zepeda – said Eddie Hearn to Chris Mannix YouTube channel About who he wants the next one for Shakur Stevenson.

Padley fiasco

Shakura’s left -wet -fired left hand was seriously swollen during Padley’s fight, forcing him to exploit his right hand by most of his power. Although Stevenson could still exploit the left when throwing the body, he could not exploit it to throw himself on the head.

“I said I wanted Floyd Schofield, Zepeda, and then Tank. If we go straight to the tank, this is not a problem either. We would like to fight Zepeda. I think Shakur is getting better. People are queuing to criticize Shakur. He had three notice for Josh Padley, “Hearn said, justifying Stevenson’s impoverished performance against Elektryk Padley.

Needed plan B.

Hearn has to start thinking about using someone else for the next opponent of Shakur, because it is painfully obvious that Golden Boy is not interested in allowing him to fight Zepeda. These are more realistic options for Shakur:

– Ernesto Mercado
– Andy Cruz
– Abdullah Mason
– Raymond Muratalla
– Edwin de los Santos

“It wasn’t really an ideal situation, and Padley can fight. It is very hard when you were preparing for a bad blood fight with Floyd Schofield, and then suddenly it is not. This guy [Padley] He comes in and you’ve never really seen him. You watch a lot of material. I thought it was a good performance [from Shakur].

“He never lie down [in his career]. He thinks he is the best warrior in the world and wants to prove it. It was always a plan, “said Hearn, when it was asked what promotions Golden Boy say about the fight between Zepeda and Shakur Stevenson.

“Zepeda is a good warrior, and if he goes through the revenge of the farmer [on March 29th]Why not fight? You wouldn’t only fight if you didn’t think you could win and I understand it. There is a lot of money at the rate and he is [Zepeda] Mandatory for the world title. I hope this fight will be made – said Hearn.
