Gevonta Davis vs Lamont Roach-Wyniki and report after the fight
Gervonta Davis kept his featherlight WBA title, but on Saturday Lamont Roach in Brooklyn maintained the stunning decision of the majority.
Davis was lucky that he left the flawless after he temporarily took his knees in the ninth round, but judge Steve Willis did not grant Roach to knocking down, the moment that turned out to be crucial. Two judges shot him 114-114 per item, and the other in 115-113 in favor of “Tank” to announce the competition with an impasse.
Roach, the prevailing world champion of Super Feather WBA, who fought with Davis in amateurs, was a lot of feeble fighting, but he seemed foreign to the first two rounds, with a “tank”, notoriously tardy starting, implementing a cautious approach.
The 30-year-old found his rhythm in the third round, connecting to the opponent’s body.
Davis, who detained Frank Martin in the eighth round in June last year, built a halfway advantage, raising his work and the accuracy of the impact, although Roach remained competitive throughout the round, willing to trade his pocket despite the combinations that landed on the head and body.
“Reaper” attracted the attention of the tubular Baltimore with a demanding right hand in seventh place and stumbled for a moment in the eight round another powerful right hand.
Roach was prepared for further trade with “Tank”, and after sending another right in the ninth Davis voluntarily knee, he ran towards the corner and wiped his head with a towel by his coach Calvin Ford.
Judge Steve Willis did not admit Roach from Breaking, and Davis took the round, landing a few cruel combinations, although the chin of Roach became mighty.
The man from Washington ended the fight strongly, making his rival miss and make him pay him with exact meters, and the fight went to the results cards.
Judge Eric Marlinski granted Davis a fight 115-113, but was lifted by two results 114-114 by Glenn Feldman and Steve Weisfeld, respectively to make her most of the draw.
Davis admitted that he would be open to the rematch.
“I made him competitive,” he said after the fight.

“But certainly Lamont is a great warrior.
“He has skills, has a power to hit.
“Shout with Lamont Roach and his whole team.
“I hope it will definitely be back. Let’s go back to Up-to-date York. “
Roach cut off a naturally depressed figure after the follow -up, but he agreed with the “tank” that he would be willing to have a rematch.
“I am a bit disappointed with this decision,” explained the 29-year-old after the fight.
“I definitely thought I won, but we can come back.
“Gervont is a great warrior.”
Russell Dethrones Valenzuela to get the WBA crown
Gary Antuanne Russell made an excellent show to tear the super featherlight WBA title from Jose “Rayo” Valenzuela.
Russell (18-1, 17 KO) dominated the opening round, at its better speed, skills and volume, overwhelming Valenzuela (14-3, 9 KO).
28-year-old Southpaw lacked a clear winner with two results 119-109 and one at 120-108, providing him with his first world championship title.
Valenzuela lost the title in his first defense, winning the belts only in August, when he defeated Isaac Cruz.
Russell could continue the start of the rematch and union with the WBC champion, Alberto Puello, who defeated him in June last year, and was also successful on the card.
Puello tells Martin to keep the title of WBC
Alberto Puello made a successful first defense of his super featherlight title of the world WBC, making a divided decision about victory over Sandor Martin.
Puello (24-0, 10 KO) was raised from short-lived titles to the full master in June and it was a strictly fighting battle with Martin (42-4, 15 KO)
The Dominican Republic won the results of 115-113 and 116-112, and one judge ruled him 115-113 in favor of Martin.
Tellez sees Williams
Yoenis Tellez opened part of the Pay-Per-View card, overcoming the former world champion, Julian Williams (29-5-1, 17 Kos) by a unanimous decision.
Tellez (10-0, 7 KO) dominated the competition, which was reflected by the results cards 119-109, 117-111 and 118-110.

Elsewhere, the Italian super halfwashed, Cristian Cangelosi (10-0, 5 KO) remained invincible with the unanimous victory of the decision on Jarrod Tennant (9-4, 4 Kos) and Dwyke Flemmings Jr (10-0, 9 KO) also scored points in their 154LLB with Florrent Davis (10-3, 5 Kos).

Jarrell Miller shared his thoughts on the course of the blockbuster fight between Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora.
Wilder will face Chisora on April 4 at the O2 Arena and Miller has revealed who he thinks has the advantage.
April 4 marks the 50th fight of the careers of “The Bronze Bomber” and “Del Boy,” and the loser will likely retire.
Miller spoke to Up-to-date Betting Offers and honestly admitted that the threat from Wilder has diminished in recent years.
“Deontay’s skills deteriorated when he changed coaches.
“I feel like if Wilder stuck to his name, being a wild man and fighting wild and doing wild shit, he would still be a guy who is threatening.
“But when you try to tame the beast and become a boxer, he’s not a boxer. He’s never been through boxing the conventional way, and now you’re trying to change his style. It’s not working for him.
“Style makes fights, and Chisora has a style that definitely hurts him.”

Before his trilogy with Tyson Fury, “The Bronze Bomber” had a staggering record of 40 wins, 39 of which came by stoppage.
However, he has emerged as a different fighter in recent years, looking timid in back-to-back losses to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang on Riyadh Season shows.
He last appeared on the field in June 2025, when he stopped Tyrrell Herndon in the seventh round.
Miller continued and talked about the skills Chisora possesses that could lead him to a huge victory in what he promises will be the last fight of his career.
“Chisora is one of those guys who is so sturdy.
“He is very powerful mentally. He has a physically fit engine.
“He may look tired, but he can still fight. Deontay I can’t fight tired, not like this Chisora yes.
“So I think Chisora is in it. The best man wins, but I think Chisora will get him.”
Chisora is on a three-fight winning streak following his loss to Tyson Fury in 2022.
He went the distance in all three contests, scoring unanimous victories over Gerald Washington, Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin in the final stoppage.

On Sunday, Jai Opetaia will make his Zuffa Boxing debut in a fight against Brandon Glanton.
Opetaia enters the fight against Glanton undefeated.
Since turning professional in 2015, the Australian has dominated with 23 stoppage victories.
His last three fights have been in his native Australia, all three of them competitions ending before the start of the ninth round.
The Australian defeated former unified cruiserweight world champion Mairis Briedis in 2022.
Opetaia really made his mark on the world stage with a series of victories on the season’s card in Riyad, including victories over Ellis Zorro, Briedis in the return and Jack Massey, whose team were forced to throw in the towel.
His name has also made headlines after recently signing with Dana White’s Zuffa Boxing after years of working with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing.
Opetaia currently holds the IBF and Ring Magazine world cruiserweight titles.
Despite holding the IBF belt, he will not be on the line with Glanton as the pair will instead fight for the Zuffa Boxing cruiserweight crown.
Glanton comes into the competition off the back of a massive win over Marcus Browne last year in Lagos, Nigeria.
Before Browne’s victory, Glanton was outpointed by Chris Billam-Smith on the undercard of the Chris Eubank Jr vs Conor Benn match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Opetaia vs Glanton – date, place, start time and ring walks
- The pair will fight on Sunday, March 8 at the Meta APEX Arena in Las Vegas.
- Undercard fights start at 18:00 local time (Polish time) / 21:00 ET / 12:00 AEST / 2:00 GMT.

Emanuel Navarrete became the unified super featherweight champion, adding the IBF title to his WBO belt by defeating Eduardo “Sugar” Nunez in the penultimate round on Saturday at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona.
The heavy-hitting Navarrete (40-2-1, 33 KO) was previously the WBO champion in three different weight classes, but he failed to claim the WBO lightweight title and belt in a fourth different weight class after losing a split decision to Denys Berinchyk. Nunez (29-2, 27 KO) had to go out of shape in the seventh round before claiming a wide points victory in his first defense against Christopher Diaz.
Nunez started by using his boxing skills rather than his trade, and used the move to cause his compatriot to miss in the first round.
Navarrete quickly adjusted, closing the gap with a powerful punch to end the streak of a wobbly Nunez delayed in the round.
Most expected “Sugar” to shoot, but he preferred boxing and worked his jab in the fourth round.
The 28-year-old then decided to change it in the fifth set and fought with fire, and in the sixth, Navarrete landed some great body shots and a powerful right hand.
Nunez gradually got into an argument, but had to take bulky fire from his opponent and bravely performed well in the eighth quarter, reducing the advantage and moving to the body.
“Vaquero” followed with a great left hand in the ninth and a powerful right followed by an uppercut that left Nunez at sea, eyes closed due to injuries.
The Sinaloa resident was re-attached to the left hook as the writing appeared on the wall.
Nunez now wilted under the pressure, and after a punishing 10th place his promoter Eddie Hearn he pleaded for the fight to be stopped and a ringside doctor was called to check his eye.
He recommended that the competition be stopped and the fight ended, crowning Navarrete the unified champion.

Vargas stops Quintana
On the card, Emiliano Vargas defended his WBO Latino and NABF super lightweight titles, forcing Argentine Agustin Ezequiel Quintana to retire after nine rounds of the fight.
Quintana (22-3-1, 13 KO) gave Vargas (17-0, 14 KO) all he could handle, but was cut down in both eyes, with referee Raul Caiz Jr waving his hand against the fight, much to the Argentine’s protests.

Smalls defeated by Ramos
Tahmir Smalls suffered his first defeat as a professional, losing a split decision to Abel Ramos in their welterweight meeting.
Ramos (29-7-3, 22 KO) earned a deserved victory by scores of 98-92 and 97-93, while the third judge awarded Smalls (16-1, 11 KO) a barely deserved nod 96-94.
Undercard remaining
WBC Continental Americas super bantamweight champion Arturo Cardenas (17-0-2, 9 KO) defended his title, but after ten rounds he drew with Jordan Martinez, who also remained undefeated.
Martinez (16-0-1, 15 KO) received a verdict of 98-92, Cardenas had one score of 96-94 and the third judge ruled it a draw 95-95.
The only fighter to go eight rounds won the super lightweight division, where Trini Ochoa (21-1, 9 KO) was upset by Oscar Alvarez Guerrero.
Guerrero (15-2, 12 KO) secured a comfortable winner with two scores of 78-74 and the third 79-73.
In six-round fights, Hector Beltran (7-0, 5 KO) fought all six sessions against Cesar Diaz (10-2, 5 KO) at super welterweight, and in the bantamweight division, Phillip Vela (5-0, 2 KO) did the same against Brayan Ramos Armenta (8-8-1, 2 KO).
Rahman Muhammad (2-0, 2 KO) defeated Mitchell McFadden (1-1, 1 KO) in the second round in a four-round welterweight fight.
