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.

Frank Warren is promoting a Doncaster show for the first time in over thirty years, while Dave Allen is keen to disrupt the odds in his hometown.
Hrgovic will enter the competition as the clear favorite against Allen after his last victory in Saudi Arabia.
“El Animal” heads into the main event looking to burst the bubble of Allen, who is fighting in Doncaster for the first time in over 10 years.
Over the years, Hrgovic has competed at a higher level, with wins over Zhilei Zhang, Dempsey McKean and Joe Joyce.

He last saw action in the Moses Itauma vs. Dillian Whyte match in Riyad, Saudi Arabia.
The Croatian defeated David Adeleye on a huge scorecard, although he faced some adversity in the eighth round when the Briton reacted well after being dropped himself in the earlier round.
During the period in which Hrgovic did not fight, Allen fought twice, the first in October when he faced Tyson Fury’s last opponent, Arslanbek Makhmudov. at the Sheffield Arena.
“The White Rhino” was outscored over 12 rounds, with the three judges scoring him 109-117, 110-116 and 111-115.
Allen returned four months later when he faced French heavyweight Karim Berredjem, whom he handled easily, stopping his fighter with a minute remaining in the first round.
Allen spoke to professional boxing fans after the pair faced off for the first time during fight week and admitted he was the underdog but was joyful for the opportunity.
“I can’t sit here and say I can beat him, but I know I can compete with him.
“You never really know because you might have a one night stand. I just need one night, like when Lucas Browne left his upper body to finish him off.”
“Or [when he won against] Nick Webb, if I hit any of them, it’s game over.
“So I’m going into this with a little more confidence, more confidence than I’ve ever had before.”
Prediction: Hrgovic will have to be at his best to avoid being dragged into the deep end like he was in the eighth round against Adeleye, but he should have enough points to score over the tough Allen.

The official record holder
Derek Chisora has gone back on his vow to retire and insists he will return for a rematch with Deontay Wilder.
Chisora was defeated by a split decision by Wilder last month at the O2 Arena.
The 42-year-old, who has fallen twice in the fight, previously announced he would end his 50-fight professional career regardless of the outcome.
However, the Londoner now claims he wants to secure a rematch with the ‘Brown Bomber’ after his wife allowed him to continue fighting.
“I’m working on a rematch,” he said Sky Sports News.
“My wife gave me the green featherlight, so I will do a rematch.
“I haven’t confirmed it yet.
“I have some meetings tomorrow [on Wednesday] and we’ll see how it goes.

“He [Wilder] he is interested because he is also upset about the outcome.
“Yes, he could have won, but he’s nervous, so we’re going to do it again.
“That’s all. [At the] I will retire at the end of this year.”
Wilder was hoping to secure a long-awaited fight against Anthony Joshua, whom he called out after defeating Chisora.
40-year-old former world heavyweight champion passed by “AJ” after the fight and told him: “let’s do it.”
However, Joshua, who has not fought since knocking out Jake Paul in December, has opted to fight Kristian Prenga on July 25 in Riyad and will then face Tyson Fury in November, provided he wins.
Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel stated that Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn had not contacted them.
“You can’t be disappointed with something that never happened,” Finkel said Heavenly sports.
“Eddie never contacted us and Joshua obviously had no intention of fighting Deontay Wilder.
“Same ancient story, just fresh date.”
Joshua’s fight against Prenga is his first since defeating Paul and a fatal car crash that killed two of his close friends and left him with minor injuries.
Fury, who retired last month and defeated Arslanbek Makhmudov, is now also expected to fight again before finally facing his British rival.
