Gervonta “Tank” Davis escaped with most draws against Lamont Roach Jr. to keep his lithe WBA title. Davis-which is recognized as the face of boxing next to Canelo Alvarez-Rrawie gave up the belt in a more challenging fight with the opponent that he was to defeat. Davis (30-0-1, 28 KO) was not able to win in the performance in which fans wondered if it could be a bit overrated.

Nevertheless, Davis remains invincible, despite the fact that his star power accepted the hit after what took place on Saturday evening at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn, Modern York. Some of the biggest names in boxing had a fight that ends closer than expected. Finally, the bad taste of the night rinses and questions about what will happen next for one of the biggest stars in boxing.

First of all: Davis should give Roach an immediate rematch?

It is challenging. At the moment, everyone who watched this fight, nods, agrees that Roach deserves another shot in Davis as soon as possible. Roach performed much above expectations, and the dominant thought is that his style gave Davis problems. After the fight, Davis said he would welcome the rematch. However, at a press conference after the fight he was not as sanguine about the time.

“[The rematch with Roach] It will probably not be this year – said Davis. – It’s definitely a fight I want, but it won’t be next.

There will not be many to take Roach as a favorite direction of a potential rematch. Instead, Davis will be guilty for the first time for taking Roach the first time. Waiting for a rematch is that the order will be restored and the activities dealing with tank service, as expected in the first fight. Some will say that Roach was robbed, but in fact it was a strict fight. The fight resembled the first fight of Floyd Mayweather with Jose Luis Castillo in 2002, when many thought Castillo had done enough to convey “Pretty Boy” the first loss of his career. Mayweather escaped with victory in the decision and won skilfully when the rematch took place seven months later.

The difference is that Mayweather was still growing, but Tank is already a certified star. Davis would not be much to gain in a rematch except to tranquil the mind. Roach is not a huge star, and the financial position would be narrow. While Davis is not obsessed with repairing the harm of the fight, he will probably think about the rematch and performs other options.

So who is he fighting next?

There is an obvious clash with Shakur Stevenson, which would be a huge battle between offensive dynamics and a defensive specialist. However, when Stevenson is now consistent with Eddie Hearna’s boxing and working with the boxing Power of Turka Alalshikh, chairman of the general Arabia of Saudi Arabia’s general entertainment, the fight is challenging to perform. Davis did not convince the words of what he thinks about potentially cooperation with Alalshikh, which makes the opportunity to fight Stevenson to be at best distant. The same can be said about the 140-Funt Master Teofimo Lopez Jr., who is part of the triple match on May 2 at Times Square with Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia.

This does not leave Davis with many options with an area of ​​140 pounds under the premiere banner of boxing masters. He could pursue the title of Champion of the WBC WBC Alberto Puello, who defeated Sandor Martin to Undercard. But there may be less interest in Davis, who collected the world championship title at 140 pounds than the Roach rematch. Although the fight against Keyshawn Davis from Top Rank to unify the lanes at 135 pounds, boxing fans would like, the WBO Lightweight champion is still being built towards the home brand and you cannot recognize free fight fans. It is unlikely that the fight against Vasiliy Lomachenko materializes because Lomachenko is considering retiring. But the Davis-Lachenko fight would have a significant amount of cache if the 37-year-old decided to fight.

There are no clear options for Davis’ next fight. Unless he lowers the guard and does not play football with Alalshikhem, he probably will not get a noisy opponent who would make him a larger combat bag than a Roach rematch. It can take a smaller name, but fighting fans become restless, and Davis does not face the best fighters from 135 to 140 pounds.

The reality is that the name Davis has enough weight to sell arena (19,250 participants on Saturday) and attract solid numbers of Pay-Per-view without a noisy opponent attached. He may want a final rematch with Roach, because the draw is tormented by him.

But let’s see how he feels next month.
