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.
Can Lamont Roach shock the world when he faces the only “tank” by Gervont Davis in Brooklyn Barclay’s Center on Saturday evening? Probably not, but this is a box in which everything seems capable. In addition, despite the fact that he is not perceived as the premiere of talent, such as Shakur Stevenson, there is no doubt that he is talented. At the age of 29, Renovit from Washington gathered a record of 25 wins in relation to one loser and one draw. What’s more, Roach can be electrifying when it requires this moment. Just ask Feargal McCory, Roach’s last opponent.
After showing significant defense skills for a high guard and criminal landing and exact blows, Roach detained McCory in the eighth of June last year- after shooting three knocking on his man. Of course, McCory is not a warrior like Ryan Garcia or Rolando Romero, both who were detained by Davis. Indeed, Jamel Herring, who defeated Roach at the end of 2019, was probably the most famed opponent of Roach. In addition, Davis is a destruction vehicle. After all, everyone except two out of thirty opponents of the man was stopped at a distance. Indeed, there is a reason why Baltimore’s native is popular.
Can Roach survive the blisters, Davis’ speed and accuracy? Many, if not the majority, say they can’t. Again, however, it is a box, a sport in which seemingly everything can happen. Indeed, everyone can have a bad night. However, the tank does not have one more. Whatever you can say about Davis, there is no doubt that he is a completely concentrated and disciplined competitor. The guy has more than talent. Showing mentally and physically is what the difference really makes – at least it turned out that this is the case with Davis.
Gervonta Davis says he likes the idea of WBC and WBO Lightweight Shakur Stevenson and Keyshawn Davis fighting for the right to him. He doesn’t buy this “brother” rubbish that they both throw away about how they can’t fight because they are friends.
Tank is not impressed by the last victory of Keyshawna Davis from the fourth round over the WBO Lightweight Denys Berinckyk champion on February 14. He said that the guy was “rubbish”, worse than George Cambosos Jr. Davis added that Keysyawn promoters “knows how to do it,” swimming against warriors who have good records, but are “**” in terms of skills.
“Brothers” excuse
Keyshawn and Shakur called a tank at night, looking needed and desperate. Davis told them today what they have to do to try to share the ring with him. Of course, they will never fight because of their friendship.
Shakur (23-0, 11 Kos) and his promoter Eddie Hearn count on Turks Alalshikh, who convinces Tank Davis to fight, offering him a lot of money. Gervonta (30-0, 28 KO) defends his lightweight WBA title on Saturday, March 1 against Lamont Roach at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn, Modern York.
“They should. They are not under the same trainers or none of them. They still say they are I’m not going to fight my brother S ***. Get out of here f ***. They have to fight – said Gervonta Davis to media Asked if Keyshawn Davis and Shakur Stevenson should fight for the right to him.
Keyshawn will soon have to go to 160 because it looks like an average weight after her fights are hydrated. If he has a balloon up to 160 for his fights at the age of 135, it’s just a matter of time before he is forced to leave a slight division. Keyhawn looked like death on the weight of the fight against Denyks Berinchyk at the beginning of this month.
He looked like a typical prisoner in Andersonville prison In the civil war. Keyshawn was hungry. To remove so much weight just to stay at the age of 135, he suggests that he is afraid to fight at the age of 154 or 160.
Money would be better for Keyshawn in these divisions, but this would be another story that he fought with colleagues from his own size, which he cannot sin. Blocks of weight always rely on movement, because life becomes bitter and strenuous, fighting the opposition that they cannot overcome with size.
Keyshawn’s victory hit
“This [fighter] was **. This [guy] Garbage fought it, “Tank Davis said, when he asked what he fought for the last victory in the fourth round of Keyshawna over the WBO Lightweight Denys Berinchyk champion on February 14. “This guy was a elementary rubbish.
“The best rank knows how to do it. You know this, “Davis said about how Keyshawna promoters in the highest rank are qualified in creating a false illusion of size by maneuvering fighters with matches against opposition bites. That is why Keyshawn was matched with a 36-year-old, smaller, weaker Berinchyk, not Andy Cruz, a warrior who defeated him four times with amateurs.
“The most vital rank is good in putting people in front of you. They probably have a good record, but **. See who they fought. This guy [Berinchyk] It had a belt, it was worse than [George] Cambosos, “Tank said.
Conor Benn looked 100% intimidated by the size and trust of the greater Chris Eubank Jr. During their today’s meeting at the stadium at their 26 April fight in Tottenham Hotspur’s in London.
We heard from Promoter Benn, Eddie Hearna, that he would go to him “In view”But today Eubank Jr. was afraid (34-3, 25 KO). It looked more that Benn was “scared”. Hearn made Benn Sound ready for Eubank Jr.’s post, when he saw him, but today he was nothing. He spoke demanding, but Pure jelly inside.
Frozen
It was thought that Conor would try to take revenge on a raw egg in the face last Tuesday. Two fighters were to be separated for fear that Benn would attack Eubank Jr., but they were still allowed to take place directly in front of them.
If Benn wanted, he could turn to Eubank Jr, but he didn’t have him. He looked fear. Eubank Jr. He got into a fighting attitude, encouraging to confront, but Benn just stood still. There was no fight in it.
Mercy before the fight
“I harm him, what he stands, what he is, what he did, and I feel sorry for the beating that he will have to endure on April 26,” said Chris Eubank Jr. to call the magazine YouTube Channel, thinking about Conor Bennem. “I did what I had to. I embarrassed the drug fraud, which is needed for this sport, “said Eubank Jr. About the egg he did to Benn last Tuesday.
Eubank Jr. It is generally bad that Benn tested positively three years ago, destroying the fight of October 8, 2022. Not only did a lot of money fell, but the idea that Benn had something in his system is annoyed by Eubank Jr.
“We cannot allow these people not to be responsible for their actions. We cannot let them be caught cheating, and then behave as if it was fine. “I’m cleansed. I can’t say why. NO. If you are caught drugs in your system, especially in the fight against me, the minimum you will receive, then the egg on your face – said Eubank Jr.
“I don’t know if I’m a good guy. 11 years have passed, people who want to see how I got lost. I don’t know how it can change suddenly. The days when I became a hero that everyone was supporting, left. They disappeared a long time ago. I have expectations now. Now I do what I have to win – said Eubank Jr.
