After providing an extremely humorous first duel, public demand is at the highest level, because fighting fans want to see the continuation of the WBA Lightweight World Gervonta “Tank” Davis Davis and the world champion of Super Feather WBA Lamont Roach Jr.

On the night of March 1, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Fresh York, the fight of Davis vs Roach began slowly, but when both warriors came to the rhythm, the action took place. It was a close tactical match, but at the end of the 12-round competition, three judges won it as a draw.

When the fight was first announced, hardcore boxing fans were not impressed by the duel, because they thought that Roach was a cherry choice. Accidental fans accepted the fight primarily because of the Baltimore-Washington DC competition. Master Gervonta Davis comes from Baltimore, and Challenger, Lamont Roach, comes from Washington

Usually, a typical Gervont Davis fight takes place like this favorite movie you watch over and over again. You know what will happen, but you still like to watch it. Davis usually starts slowly because he devotes his time to downloading data in the early rounds.

The opponent passes when he exerts intensive pressure in the middle rounds, and then stops opponents in later rounds. On the night of March 1, Lamont Roach refused to follow the script. Roach imitated a boxer from the 90s, who also left the script.

In November 1996, Mike Tyson defended his title WBA WBA Wain Wain World against Underdog Challenger Evander Holyfield. Everyone expected the artist Mike Tyson to stop Holyfield, but unfortunately his opponent did not get a note for Tyson.

On the night of the fight Evander Holyfield was ready and confident. Every time Tyson landed a significant shot, Holyfield provided an immediate answer. Holyfield fought in his pocket, deserved Tyson’s respect and detained Tyson in the eleventh round.

In the rematch Tyson was unable to intimidate Holyfield and bite Holyfield’s ear in the third round. After warning and punishing two points, Tyson was disqualified for the second time to bite Holyfield’s ear.

Twenty -eight years later, when Lamont Roach entered the square circle to face the knockout of Gervont “Tank” Davis, most fans of the fight assumed that Roach would manage early, but would stop in later rounds.

During the fight, Roach was prepared, focused and confident. When the fifth round was over, Davis spoke garbage, throwing three more left hands. Roach replied, talking and then landing many shots on the body.

A few seconds later, while the two boxers were involved in the clinch, Davis raised his right arm up and hit the chin. Roach replied, hitting Davis with a brief right hand. In the middle of round 6, it seemed that Davis tried to bite Roach’s ear.

Intimidation was not a factor, because Roach routinely stood in his pocket and traded with Davis. Critical not calling took place in the 9th place when Davis kneeling, but the judge did not rule it as knocking down. As he summed up the fight, one judge scored a fight (115-113) for Davis, and the other two judges won the fight (114-114).

Like Evander Holyfield, Lamont Roach was not surprised, being weaker who fought against the intimidating knockout artists. The only difference was the victory of Holyfield, and Roach had to settle with a draw.

However, because he achieved well and exceeded his expectations, Lamont Roach should be set to the revenge versus Gervont Davis in the near future. At this point, the question is, can Lamont Roach follow in the footsteps of Evander Holyfield and get a characteristic victory over the world -famous knockout artist?

World champion claims Conor Benn pulled out of fight after ‘setting up the whole deal’

World champion says Conor Benn pulled out of fight after the ‘whole deal was set up’

Conor Benn could be ready for a world title fight against Ryan Garcia, but there is one reigning world champion who claims the Briton recently pulled out of a title shot even though “the whole deal has already been done.”

Benn made his Zuffa Boxing debut earlier this month. defeating Regis Prograis in a 150-pound catchweight bout – his first fight at sub-154 pounds in four years – and now he looks ready to fight for world titles at welterweight.

Although his position as mandatory challenger for the WBC title put him in line to face Garcia, WBA 147-pound champion Rolando Romero claimed that Benn had withdrawn from the title fight.

I’m talking to Fighting Hub TV“Rolly” explained why he doubted the Garcia fight would happen and revealed that he expected to fight Benn until “The Destroyer” changed his mind.

“Conor Benn waived me, we had the whole deal done, we were supposed to fight on May 30 in Fresh York for my world title, and then he just disappeared out of nowhere.

Conor Benn was there begging to fight me. By the way, we already had everything planned, but he’s in Fresh York trying to create all this fuss and stuff – he did it for advantage. Same with this, he can do this with Ryan too to gain strength.

“They’re out there trying to do all this stuff, I don’t do this imitation beef. That throws me off, you go and do all this imitation beef and then you come here and act like a gigantic, tough guy and then you run away and don’t fight.”

“Maybe he was doing it with Ryan because Ryan would have knocked him out cool.”

Garcia and Benn could collide this summer in Las Vegas when Benn returns to the welterweight division in a direct world title fight.

Jermell Charlo picks Tim Tszyu to defeat Errol Spence Jr

Charlo then launched into a longer explanation, questioning what version of Spence would emerge after his years outside the ring and claiming that style favored Tszyu.

“He has little defense. Errol will come in softly. He doesn’t really move his head. Tim moves his head. He throws a few stone hay shots. “I just follow my fighting style and be realistic.”

Jermell looked like a war veteran and described the fight, giving reasons why he chose Tszyu to beat Spence.

For years, these two towers were the “Twin Towers” of Derrick James’ gym in Dallas. They shared celebrations, sweat and secrets. The problem is that Errol was very vocal about these sessions, essentially telling the world that he was “teaching” Jermell.

For a guy like Charlo, who carries enormous pride and has built his “Lions Only” brand on being the alpha, having a former teammate claim dominance over him is a stain he can’t wash off in a sanctioned fight.

Having never fought professionally, these gym stories are the only narrative that exists and you have to wonder if it’s still eating at him.

Charlo also indicated the location, with the fight expected to take place in Australia.

“He’s going to Australia there. I see Tim Tszyu winning that fight,” Jermell said.

X is having a field day because Charlo looks like a man who sat in a dim room and watched Spence’s training videos over and over again. Fans call this the “villain arc” energy. He spoke quickly, louder and louder, and seemed personally interested in the answer.

During the prophecy, Jermell had a diabolical look in his eyes, as if he were performing a technical exorcism on his elderly rival.

When he has such wide eyes and high energy intensity, he tends to rely on his “Only Lions” personality, which thrives on perceived disrespect. In this case, the disrespect is the years in which Errol Spence Jr. he claimed to be the “substantial brother” at the gym.

“I don’t have to fight Errol Spence and I don’t care about fighting Errol Spence,” Jermell said.

Jermell is essentially using Tim Tszyu as a proxy. Since Charlo hasn’t fought at 154 pounds since 2022, he needs Spence to lose to someone else to prove that the elderly era (the Derrick James era) is over. If Tszyu destroys Spence, it will validate Charlo’s technical criticism and make his inactivity look like a calculated move rather than a decline.

Roy Jones Jr sums up Tyson Fury’s chances of beating a prime Lennox Lewis

Britain has produced some great heavyweights in recent years, ending an almost century-long curse and seeing success in the division ever since. Predicting the outcome of the clash between two of the best fighters in the country, Lennox Lewis and Tyson Fury, Roy Jones Jr said it would be a “great fight”.

Bob Fitzsimmons became the first British world heavyweight champion in 1897, and he and Jones remain the only two fighters in boxing history to have won both middleweight and heavyweight world titles.

However, Great Britain struggled for success in the division after the Fitzsimmons fight, unable to claim heavyweight supremacy until Lennox Lewis became WBC world champion in 1992. Britain has since crowned its title 11th world heavyweight championFabio Wardley, who follows in the footsteps of Fury and Anthony Joshua.

In an interview with Grosvenor CasinoJones said he would give Lewis an advantage over the “Gypsy King” if they met in their prime.

“Tyson Fury vs. Lennox Lewis? That would be a great fight, but my first thought was Lennox Lewis because of his power. But my second thought was also that Tyson Fury was great at making adjustments. I would go with Lennox Lewis.”

At least one heavyweight world title is expected to remain in a Briton’s hands for some time, with Daniel Dubois scheduled to face another Briton, Fabio Wardley, for the WBO belt next month.

In the meantime, we hope 21-year-old Moses Itauma can continue Britain’s success for many years to come, with the youngster considered by many to be the hottest prospect in boxing.

As for Fury, he is focused on the UK-wide megafight with Joshua – their own ‘Battle of Britain’ after Lennox fought Frank Bruno in 1993.
