Nysac blames the “technical problem” for Davis Knee No-Call, says Mattern Entern

The Fresh York Sports Commission of State, in a statement for ESPN, said that “Review case” includes the Saturday fight of Gervont Davis-LaMont Roach WBA in Brooklyn.

“Tank” Davis, one of the best boxing stars, sewed his knees in round 9 after a blow landed by Roach. Judge Steve Willis correctly began to count, but when he reached three, he stopped and did not rule it.

If Willis followed the rules and called the knocking down, Roach would win by decision. Instead, the WBA Master Junior Lightweight decided to draw when he tried to become a master of two validity in what would be shocking nervousness. Davis (30-0-1, 28 KO) was a favorite -2000, according to the ESPN plant.

Two judges won the fight 114-114, and the third judge won it 115-113 for Davis.

“During the round in question, in accordance with the request of the Commission for a repetition film, there was a technical issue preventing the committee from receiving it in the designated time for review,” said a spokeswoman for the committee. “That’s why the judge’s decision in the ring was based, and the fight lasted.

“The Commission is devoted to maintaining combat sports integrity and is involved in cooperation with all promotions and production teams – on behalf of athletes, officials and fans – in order to ensure that technical problems will not occur in the future that prevent the delivery of immediate channels of Ringside as needed.”

Davis from Baltimore said after the reason why he took his knees was that the grease from hair treatment on Thursday “burned my eyes”. Davis was also allowed that his corner wipe his eyes with a towel that was forbidden during the round. Only the judge has the right to stop the action. This is the second huge incident involving the Fresh York committee last year. In April, the nervous victory of the boxing star Ryan Garcia over Devin Haney was annulled to the lack of a competition after he obtained a positive result for a banned substance. The commission also suspended him for a year and punished seven data with a fine.

“I wonder if the Commission introduces changes only when you complain and cry like Haney, or whether they care about the honesty of this sport!” Garcia Published Sunday on X. “Nothing against the tank, but since the commission changes my victory, they should change this victory for Roach.”

The battle agreement contained a rematch clause for Davis in the event that he did not win. The 30-year-old said on Monday that he “pressed on the rematch” at the end of May.

“If you take your knee and the judge starts to count, it should be knocking down,” said Roach (25-1-2) after the fight. “If this is knocking down, I will win the fight.”

29 -year -old Washington DC remains WBA at 130 pounds. He assessed him No. 5 by ESPN in Junior Lightweight.

Davis is the featherlight weight of ESPN No. 1 and No. 8 pounds per pound of boxer.

Hrgovic strongly disagreed and mocked Allen’s approach to the fight while discussing his opponent.

“Yes, that’s his loser mentality. That’s what he achieved throughout his career. That’s why he suffered 10 defeats and I suffered one defeat,” Hrgovic told iFL TV.

“It’s just an underdog mentality. I just take the pressure off myself like, ‘I’m a Doncaster boy.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. I don’t have to win. It puts pressure on him.”

“You know, it’s a loser’s mentality. So OK, I’ll take the pressure. I have to win. I’m a winner.

“He always had this mentality. ‘I’m fat. I don’t train. I don’t need to win. I’m tiny’. Come on, man. Don’t make excuses your whole life. Just train, be professional and go for the win.

“I expect him to be the best version of himself because this is a huge opportunity for him and it’s his hometown. I expect him to be in good shape.

“I think I’m definitely a tougher fight for him than Zhang. Zhang is aged, aged.

“I can also be fat if I don’t train and if I drink beer. I can be fat and be a journeyman and come to every fight and just say, ‘I don’t have to win.’ I’m here to fight the good fight. “

“I think I’m better. I’m faster. I’m better in all aspects of the fight. But you know, it’s heavyweight boxing. Anything can happen and he’s a brave guy. He always comes forward and steps up to the fight. So I think it’ll be a good fight.”

Hrgovic comes into the fight after a tough recent run that has included physical fights with Daniel Dubois, Joe Joyce and David Adeleye. He defeated Joyce and Adeleye after losing to Dubois, with both victories coming after tough rounds and bulky rallies.

The fight will be the main event of Saturday’s heavyweight gala in Doncaster.

If Oleksandr Usyk loses to Verhoeven, he will immediately be stripped of his world title

Oleksandr Usyk will immediately be stripped of world title if he loses to Verhoeven

The situation surrounding all of Oleksandr Usyk’s world champion titles has already been determined before his fight with kickboxer Rico Verhoeven.

The WBC controversially put its belt on the line before this fight, meaning that Verhoeven, despite having little or no chance of winning, could win the belt in May 23 in Egypt.

The WBA announced today that the fight will count as a successful world title defense if Usyk wins, but the challenger will not be able to claim the belt, even if it causes seismic shocks. If this happens, a committee will meet on next steps.

The IBF has taken a similar stance, but while Verhoeven cannot win that title either, the sanctioning body will immediately declare the heavyweight belt vacant if Usyk loses.

The conditions under which Usyk can fight to remain champion are as follows:

1. If Usyk loses on May 23, 2026, the IBF heavyweight title will be immediately declared vacant.

2. If Usyk wins on May 23, 2026, the IBF will recognize the WBC’s position in the rotation and will order an IBF mandatory fight for one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter.

3. If the WBA grants special permission, the IBF will recognize the WBA’s position in the rotation and order an IBF mandatory fight for one hundred and eighty (180) days thereafter.

4. The IBF reserves the right to change the mandatory deadline in the event of significant delays in the rotation.

After the fight with Verhoeven, Usyk will be ordered to face WBC mandatory Agit Kabayel, and promoter Frank Warren is sure that he will be stripped of the belt if he does not fulfill his obligation.
