Image: Is Gervonta Davis 'That Guy'? Malignaggi Questions Tank's Legacy After Struggling Against Lamont Roach"

Paulie Malignaggi was not surprised when Gervonta Davis has problems with Lamont Roach on Saturday evening in his airy fight for the title of World Champion in Brooklyn in Novel York.

“Cherry Pick” went wrong

The competition was recognized as a draw with a majority of 12 runes, but fans perceived it as a loss for the tank. Malignaggi sees the fight when the choice of cherry went wrong for tank. Despite the fact that the airy division will be loaded with talent, Davis chose Roacha from the Super Feather Wweight Division, believing that it would be an straightforward sign.

He agrees with the fans that the referee -blurred referee prevented Roach from winning the fight. Malignaggi indicates Davis (30-0-1, 28 KO), he has 30 and did not fight the best fighters in the weight class of 135 pounds. He earned money over all these years at PPV, fighting with whip warriors.

Roach took advantage of the fights of tanks in the grooves and could control immense portions of each round because he did not throw. Davis was frustrated and began to exploit various methods of pollution, hoping to intimidate Roach, but it didn’t work.

Tank captured the belt in 2017 outside the world champion in Super Feather, weighing Jose Pedraza and since then he has been taking the opposition, mainly with Promotiony Mayweather. He was with them until 2022. Malignaggi notes that Tank behaved as if he didn’t even care when the fight was ruled as a draw from the 12th round.

Over the past eight years, Gervont has fought circumscribed opposition. His best win was with Ryan Garcia, but it was one with a double clause of recall and hydration. Ryan was stupid to agree to one of these things.

“Steve Willis was supposed to count as a knocking out, and if it counts as knocking down, Lamont Roach wins one point on two results cards,” said Paulie Malignaggi on his own YouTube Channel about the fight against Gervont Davis vs. Lamont Roach last Saturday.

The best airy debate

“There are at least six or seven airy power than Lamont Roach. It’s not like he came out of a frail division to choose Lamont Roach for this fight. He went and got Lamont Roach as a cherry choice. It makes you wonder: “Is he [Gervonta] This guy? ” – said Malignaggi.

There are at least six good fighters that Davis could choose, but he didn’t. He could have choosing the best fighters at the age of 135, and they all said “yes”.

“There is no CV to speak. He is a guy who is 30 years ancient and says how he achieved what Muhammad Ali achieved, telling how he intends to retire because he did everything. He did nothing.

“This guy never chased the best guy in his weight class,” said Paulie about Gervont. “Has he ever had a fight in which you said:” He is the best guy in the weight class, and Gervont Davis went and chased him and succeeded. “

“Shakur Stevenson, even with wounded hands, would probably beat him tonight. Keyshawn Davis would definitely beat him. Edwin de Los Santos would beat him tonight. “

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.
