Lamont Roach Jnr found his confidence before meeting on March 1 with Gervont Davis and said that he would fight greater conviction than the previous opponents of “Tank”.
Considering the impressive Davis-MA 30-0 power with 28 knockouts-the fact that Roach comes out of 130 pounds to meet Davis at a airy level, the question in the fight is how Roach plans to avoid knocking, let alone win .
“It’s about confidence,” said Roach. “It’s about what you decided to do. It’s about how strenuous you work. The idea is to know that you have what you need to do what you are going to do. And I think many opponents are [Tank] I was there with that. I think the only person who wasn’t probably Pitbull [Isaac Cruz]But when it comes to skills, he was circumscribed. “
Davis’s logs criticize his matches, which they think do not meet his talent. Roach is right that Opponents Tank almost always withdraw from his power – for example, Ryan Garcia began aggressively, but threw his plan the window through the window after Davis knocked him down in the second round. And Cruz is fighting to deal with the boxing Jose Valenzuela, confirms the criticism of Pitbull’s skills.
The opposite point is that Davis is simply so good, and Roach will become another opponent who withdraws from him and will eventually be eliminated.
If Roach is afraid of this possibility at all, he does a great job, hiding it. Asked if he believes he had a chin to withstand Davis’s weakened power for 12 rounds, Roach said: “Yes, for sure. We’ll find out! But yes, certainly 100 percent. Definitely. “
As for why he defeated Davis, Roach said:
“I’m a dog. I have the skills of a master -class boxer. […] My mental is on 1000. I can’t be mentally broken, I can’t be physically broken. Will have to Get I beat me. ”
Terenka Crawford admits that he has a “arduous challenge” until 168 to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his undisputed championship in the bulky weight of September 13. Bud Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) was inactive for most of the last four years, he did not look good in his last fight with Israil Madrimov, and he is after the wrong 30 years, approaching 40.
Risk of jumping in the weight class
Turks Alalshikh believed in Crawford enough to fight Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KO), but there is a good chance that this fight may not provide fireworks that he hoped. Crawford decided not to tune up to the weight class and moves around two divisions after a 13-month release against Alvarez.
There would be a lot of disappointment if the fight is dull when Crawford runs in the ring or if it is a complete mismatch, such as the fight of Alvarez with Jermell Charlo. Therefore, it is a bad idea to throw a lot of money on a smaller warrior to move up two or three weight classes. There is a risk that it will not be a humorous fight, especially when a smaller warrior refuses to gain experience in this weight class.
Coach Abel Sanchez and former world champion in four letters Mikey Garcia are skeptical about Crawford’s victory. They both noticed how bad he looked in his last fight with Israil Madrimov on August 3, winning a narrow 12-round unanimous decision of the results 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113.
More exact of these results were 115-113, even though they did not tell the whole story. It could be a draw or a win for Madrimov, if he was not such a more popular warrior than he himself. Crawford now jumps at 14 pounds from 154 to 168 and again, without tuning in the weight class. Only he knows why he decided not to fight someone aged 168 to get experience.
Crawford at the face of Canelo
“On both sides it will be a arduous challenge. He will have some challenges. I will have some challenges. This is what the great fights are about. Which overcomes these challenges and uses the mistakes of the second warrior,” said Terenka Crawford, that you would take Warrior About his challenge of September 13 against Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas.
“I will be ready and I will be prepared. I am excited and I can’t wait,” said Crawford.
At one point he was probably the largest in history – even better than Sugar Ray Robinson. Although this bold claim did not ultimately maintain, there is no doubt that Vasyl Lomachenko, who announced his pension, left his trail in the boxing sport. “First of all,” he said in the film on Instagram – “I want to thank our Lord, Jesus Christ for everything he did for me, for leading a proud newborn man through a path that routinely showed me that fame, heritage and recognition are not a real goal of life.”
Indeed, often conceited Lomachenko seemed both mature and modest in the film. “I am grateful for every victory and every failure, both in the ring and in life,” he said. “I am grateful that when my career is coming to an end, I gained clarity about the direction in which a person must undertake to achieve a real victory – not only in the ring, but in overcoming the ancient self. Only then can you receive your real reward.”
The fighter known as “Loma” then praised his parents. “Thank God for my wonderful, straightforward and kind parents – for their concern, their love and warmth that I felt throughout my life. My father not only taught me boxing art, but also how to be a role model for my own children, in the same way as he was always for me … I made a lot of mistakes in my life and in the gym, but he was always on my side, improving me in the event of
After turning to him and thanks, Lomachenko drew attention to the fans. “Of course, I wouldn’t be skillful either, so as not to thank you, my dear boxing fans around the world,” he said. “You have always supported me with my passion and experienced unforgettable fights next to me for over a decade. I hope you still love this sport, because people who enter the ring, risk their health because of their families. Peace for everyone, please bless your people.”
The history of Lomachenko is fascinating. After all time appeared from amateurs, he fought for the title of world champion in his second professional fight, losing to the game and the scorching Orlando Solido in 2014. After that, the man ran, who was almost terrifying. Indeed, Lomachenko had four opponents in a row, they stopped on the stools between the rounds, so impressive was his rapid set of skills.
The second defeat suffered a second defeat after a close fight against Teofimo Lopez with the world airy supremation in autumn 2020, and then won three in a row, after which he abandoned the controversial close decision about Devin Haney last year.
Undoubtedly, the 37 -year -old Lomachenko had a professional career for himself. His retirement is well earned.
