Lamont Roach Jnr says he is not alien in the atmosphere of great fight

Published

Recent York – There is no doubt that Lamont Roach Jnr will fight on its largest, so far as a professional this Saturday.

Although the Junior Lightweight Hander WBA has been fighting for championship cards since he became a professional in 2014 at the undercard of Bernard Hopkins’s Delicate Heavywywywy win with Beibut Shumenov, the delicate never shone as radiant on Roach as in Barclays Center in Brooklyn, Recent York.

In the face of Gervont “Tank” Davis – perhaps the largest American star in boxing – Roach will probably look at him more than at any other time in his professional career. The 29-year-old from Upper Marlboro, Maryland says it’s okay.

“Since I started great fights,” said Roach, 25-1-1 (10 KO), during Wednesday’s media training at the Gleason gym in Brooklyn. “Hopkins Undercard, Canelo [Alvarez] Undercards … and the list is long. I am not alien to this and it does not affect me at all.

“The stakes are higher, but I just want demanding – that’s all. I trained in the best physical and mental form in which I can be. “

Roach will be its main first vital Pay-Per-View event against Davis, 30-0 (28 KO), one of the few Bona Fide Pay-view in today’s sport. Two boxers, whose native city is about an hour from each other, have a story from amateur ranks, in which Davis beat Roach twice in three rounds.

“I definitely have to have some return,” Roach said.

The fight will be the first time Roach, which can weigh above 130 pounds from 2017, when he won his first smaller title with Alejandro Valdeza knockout. Roach says that he feels more comfortable without having to cut an additional 5 pounds, and insinuates that as a result he will have more impact power.

While Roach certainly stands in the face of someone whom talent exceeds the talent of his previous opponents, says that Davis also fights with someone who is a different puzzle for him.

“IQ, the level of skill, being simply a generally killer of the brain in the ring,” said Roach, asked by reporters, which distinguishes him from 30 opponents, which Davis defeated.

“He was never there with someone like me.”

Roach rides in six victorious passions from a lonely defeat-uniform defeat of the decision for Jamel Herring in his first possibility of the world title, in 2019. Since then, Roach became the world champion in itself, defeating Hector Luis Garcia in June 2023.

He says that his goal is to become a champion of two divisions, defending belts in various divisions.

“It’s all for me, and becoming a champion of two divisions would be a dream come true for me.” Roach said.

The main card starts at 13:30 ET live in Dazn, and walks with the Ring of the Main Event are expected around 16:30 ET.

Nelson Hysa def. Patrick Korte – KO2

Total mismatch. Hysa sentenced the corta from the opening bell, landing hefty hooks and tearing her head with each neat shot. Kortte knee for the first time after eating a pair of brutal right hands, and then barely survived the round. Hysa returned and finished work in the second – another knocking out, another dam, and the corta was completed. No response, without resistance, only one -sided beating.

Billy Adams Def. Alexander Morales-Punkty (40-36)

Adams boxed around Morales and did not lose a second. Delicate left on his feet, mixed the levels and cleaned his shots. Morales tried to close the gap, but he never put a glove on it. It was a routine, clinical and exactly what a potential potential customer should do. Nothing flashy – only four rounds of pure control.

Sam Gilley vs. Gideon onyenani-Draw (76-76)

Gilley could not cope with the pressure and looked lost in the trenches. Onyenani took him inside, turned him into a fight on a telephone boat and never let him comfortably. Gilley tried to hurt, but persecuted in survival mode. Ugly fight, truthful result?

UMAR Khan def. Moises Garcia-One-Wykna Decision (79–72)

Khan boxed well, but he looked like he was a sparring and he didn’t fight. Brisk combinations flashed, and then pierced long sections without urgency. Garcia had no answers, but he never looked close to folding. It was one-sided-and still forgotten.

Jack Williams Def. Fernando Joaquin Valdez-Punkty (40-36)

Uncomplicated work for Williams, who barely left the second equipment. He remained patient, keen and true against the guy with one win in seventeen attempts. Valdez consumed blows, but he was not a real threat. Williams drove through all four rounds, barely touched and pierced the neat sweeping without sweat.

Lillie Winch def. Katerina Dvorakova-one-like decision (60-54)

Winch kept him neat, keen and all companies from the opening bell. She bitten, turned and closed Dvorakov, without taking risks. The Czech warrior tried to force a fight, but he never passed the front door. Pure control – each round, every second.
