Did Lamont Roach Get Robbed?

By: Sean Crose

Few expected the fight would be like. The featherlight champion WBA Gervonta “Tank” Davis was to waste the pretender Lamont Roach in a brutal way, as he had waste to opponents in all his previous fights. Things did not work in this way. Although Davis was not defeated by Roach when they fought on Saturday in Brooklyn, many- if not most fans think he should be. Because Roach turned out to be able to make Davis energy arrows. What’s more, he was able to land independently, often at a frequency. The fight was, for sure, very close, so close that the judges finally ruled its majority of draws.

Indicate the boys – this is not a standard boxing problem about judges wearing blinds, but failures for a few strange seconds in the later part of the fight. It was the ninth round, when suddenly and for no perceptible reason Davis Knee. He got up a moment later, went to his corner and has a towel. What made this moment so controversial was the fact that judge Steve Willis did not give Davis at least eight count on her knee.

If Willis began to count on Davis – which he should have technically – Davis would lose the fight. Finally, the last cards read 115-113 for Davis and 114-114 for a piece of draw. If the action was not as close as it was, the strange Pause Davis would not be particularly unforgettable. However, the action was very close. And if someone is to strictly follow the rules of sport, then actions such as Davis must have consequences. Considering this, Davis would be unfortunate if Davis lost the fight for the decision made on the influence of the moment that had nothing to do with Roach.

“They took a fight from me,” Davis wrote on Sunday in social media, “And he did it because I did this nonsense knee … but I landed the most blows in the fight. He didn’t even hit me when I took my knees. I understand that I shouldn’t do it, but my hair grease burned my eyes! “Regardless of whether it was a hair fat, at first glance it does not seem that Roach had something to do with Davis on his knee. However, the rules are rules again. These are not pleasant words to write in such situations, but they still remain true.

David Benavidez says he is convinced that he is defeating the undisputed heavyweight master Dmitry Bivol when he has a chance to challenge him for his titles. Benavidez (30-0, 24 KO) states that Bivol (24-1, 12 KO) can accept the trilogy with the former champion of four stripes Artur Beterbav, and not fighting with it. However, he says that he is open to a fight based on them to “Facilitate pay more attention to the card. “

Plays from the card

A good idea would be that Benavidez on Bivol-Betiview 3 Undcard, because it would assist raise the interest of fans who tired of seeing these two fights. Many American boxing fans would like to see how Benavidez’s “Mexican monster” got his shot because he won it with his last victory over the “ordinary” heavyweight champion WBA David Morrell February 1.

Benavidez feels the success of Bivol sparring. Of course, these sparring sessions had many years ago, but the style of Eastern Europe Bivol remained the same throughout all these years. He has not changed and is still fighting when he is under full attack without letting go. Beterbiev would beat Bivol in the rematch on February 7, if he continued to attack everything, just like from the third to six.

The difference with Benavidez is that you don’t get tired. He will constantly attack Bivol, just as Beterbiv did in the first half of their rematch, but he will continue the whole match. Bivol’s chances to survive this kind of continuous Benavidez attack are diminutive. It will be eliminated because his corner will throw a towel.

“I will show him”

“We’ve scared a lot. It was a good sparring session. Thanks to these highest fighters, they are able to adapt to everything. So I came up with some of his things, and he adapted to it, and he would do something to me and I adapted to it, “said David Benavidez to Warrior About his sparring sessions with Dmitryjum Bivol.

Benavidez adds that he discovered Bivol in the fourth round of their sparrings and that he was close to falling after he “lit a 15-20 blow of the blows. They were the same he threw at Cuban Morrell, but he was younger, stronger and more capable of taking these blows than Bivol.

“There were moments that I got the best of him. So I know I would beat him, “Benavidez said about Bivol. “I’m not going to go there too confidently. I definitely trust myself that I would beat him.

“I talked to Turka Alalshikh. They [Bivol and Artur Beterbiev] I want to make a third fight, but I also have place No. 1. We are able to control many things. We are now able to negotiate. If they pay me for what I want to pay, I don’t mind fighting the card, especially if he pays more attention to the card, “said Benavidez.

Gervonta Davis published x a moment ago, saying that the rematch from Lamont Roach can happen “End of May.“Davis (30-0-1, 28 KO) says it is “Pushing a rematch” After their controversial 12-round majority, last Saturday, March 1 at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn, Fresh York. The fight results were 115-113 for Gervont, 114-114 and 114-114. However, the world of boxing saw Roach as a winner and felt that he was robbed in the worst way.

Rapid return

Planning a rematch at the end of May can be a problem for promoters, because they quickly negotiate and sell the fight with the audience. Perhaps there is not enough time to submit an event between WBA Lightwweight Champion Tank and Roach.

The reaction from Tank Davis from fans has been earnest since last Saturday, and many believe that he received a preferential treatment of a judge who did not call to knock down in the ninth round when he sewed his knees. He was hit by a stab from Roach (25-1-2, 10 KO) and fell to the knee.

“My contract is already signed and set for an immediate rematch, because you put it in there in case you lose. The only reason we don’t fight is that you’re afraid – said Lamont Roach X Today to Gervont Davis. The word round block is your favorite warrior is 30-1, not 30-0-1 … 🫣 2x x 2 divisions “

As you can see, Lamont Roach believes that the results of their fight last Saturday will be repealed and the tank will be defeated. This can only mean that he and his team appeal to the Fresh York Sports Committee.

Interestingly, the Fresh York Commission did not say anything about the desire to change the result of the fight to the victory of Lamont Roach. If they reviewed the ninth round, without the charm that took place, they could theoretically say that it was knocking down. This would effectively give a victory. I don’t know why not.

Ryan Garcia published in social media, wondering why the Fresh York Commission did not change the results of the fight against Tank-Roach, as in his victory over Devin Haney last April 20. They took Ryan’s win and made it a competition after disclosing his positive test for a banned substance.

Lamont Roach, entering the duel of the world title of the world WBA, was considered huge weaker. However, Roach was a discipline that got stuck in his game plan, as a result of which he received a controversial draw.

Initially, when the fight was announced, Hardcore boxing fans were not impressed by the fact that Roach was the third warrior who became weight to challenge Davis. Changing fans accepted the fight because of the geographical aspect.

For many decades, Baltimore and Washington DC continued their intensive competition, which was created due to cultural differences. In this particular championships it so happens that Gervonta Davis comes from Baltimore, and Lamont Roach comes from Washington.

On the Night of the Fight, the DMV area was represented as a sold -out crowd gathered in the Barclays Center. In the first round of the lightweight title WBA, Challenger Lamont Roach used Feints, threw a stab and body right.

In the first round there was a time-honored ponderous tank start, because only one blow in the opening round landed. Lamont Roach was still in the second round when he pressed carefully.

Davis began the third round, landing a few solid body shots, but when the round was spinning, Roach replied, landing his right hand. In the fourth round Davis staged his side movement, and when he planted his feet, he connected with a neat left hand and then right to the body.

In the last seconds of the fourth round, when Davis and Roach were in the clinch, the referee told them to hit and get out. Roach landed with a insidious right hand during his stay in the clinch, and when the tank turned to complain about the judge, Roach landed with a neat left hand.

After Davis landed two more left hands in the fifth round, he and Roach got involved in another clink. Davis started lifting his right arm and landed under the opponent’s chin. Roach immediately answered, connecting with a compact right hand.

In the middle of the fight, Davis raised the pace when he connected with many arrows on his left hand. Roach became very brave in round 7, when he stood in his pocket and traded with Davis. In the eighth round Lamont Roach had a great moment when he landed in the right side that supported Davis.

The controversial moment of the fight took place at 2:18 in the 9th round. After Roach hit Davis with his right hand and then stabbing, Davis stepped back a step and knee. Davis started running in the corner to wipe his face.

The judge warned Davis, saying what he did, he looks like knocking down, but fortunately for Davis, the judge did not rule it as knocking down. As the match continued, Tank loaded his arrows and threw them with bad intentions.

However, Roach was able to make arrows and answer, winning his own great blows. During the championship rounds, the confident pretender Lamont Roach stood in his pocket and continued to succeed, landing with his right hand.

At the end of the 12-round fight for the championship, the voltage level was at the highest level, because everyone was eagerly waiting to hear official results. After 36 minutes of action, one judge fired 115-113 for Davis, but this card was repealed when the other two judges won the fight 114-114.

When the match was considered a draw, everyone immediately traveled back, which was not called knocking down. During the interview after the fight, Gervont Davis presented his explanation in relation to what happened at this controversial moment.

“I just made my hair two days ago and she put Grease in my sh*t,” said Davis. “So sh*t was as you know, as during sweating and the like, and the grease appears in my face, burned my eyes type sh*t. Damn, why do you ridicule, as if I was saying nonsense*t? How are real facts. Come man. “

If the judge enforced this rule and properly called the knocking, it would be a round 10-8 for Roach, but unfortunately the knocking was not called, and two of the three judges began to win the 9th round 10-9 in favor of Gervont Davis.

The unsolvable combination of the judge harmed Lamon Roach on the results cards and contributed to the boxing of a bad look. For example, if the roles were reversed and Lamont Roach took his knee because he had fat in his eyes, he would definitely be called knocking.

Lamont Roach (25-1-2, 10 KO) believes that he won the fight, but unfortunately he was considered a draw for him. Roach did not win, but during a press conference after the fight he spoke about the moral victory of the fight under radiant lights and it was proved that he deserved to be there.

“I thought I won, I thought I had done enough to win over a spectacular warrior. From the very beginning I told you that I was able to pay Bills Mutha F ** cinema. “
