In the world of sport, at some point in the athlete’s elite career, this person achieves an achievement that translates into a special moment, on Saturday evening on March 1 at the Barclays Center, Brooklyn, Fresh York, many fans of the fight believe that Lamont Roach Jr was robbed.

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. “

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.

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.
