Comments Thread For: A tie that's blind? Gervonta Davis and Lamont Roach Jnr fight to draw

[MulaKO]

Roach was never gonna win that fight even if he hit Tank with a sledgehammer. Best he will get is they ll make the scorecards closer as consolation price for him. He landed the cleaner punches, he controlled the fight, he countered beautifully, he was the aggressor and the other guy took a knee that ref stated counting as a knockdown and then undo it cos said fighter said he didn’t take a knee. These bs is what ruins boxing.

Roach must have put it a lifetime of preparation for that fight and that sort of stuff is hard to replicate. No need to run it back cos the element of surprise is gone now and he will lose convincingly next or even get knocked out. As for Tank, dude got some weird tendencies and seem unfocused even leading up to the fight. Maybe he do need to step away especially since he aint gonna fight those other guys anyway

Nicely put

[MulaKO]

Roach got more comfortable with Davis' style as the fight progressed. A re-match may work in his favor.

Like
i posted on another page and not to condone anything or take away from Roach’s performance but apparently Tank didn’t do his usual training for this fight
Imo he overlooked Roach having already beaten him in the ammys and knowing his fighting style quite well
I thought Roach won outright even without the knockdowns

[danktrees]

Cintron got knocked out and allowed to continue. That was not a headbutt, but a short, straight left from Martinez.

that **** was absolutely insane. ref counted him out right to his face then let cintron talk him into restarting the fight then the judges were like ok cool, we'll score it a draw even tho cintron got knocked out and only won 2 rounds. martinez didnt even gain a point for it as a knockdown and had one taken from him cuz he touched the back of cintron's head. that **** was as ridiculous as what happened in the emanuel augustus courtney burton fight.

Tank always been protected by Pbc…Will find some kind of excuse not to fight Roach again anytime soon..will go back to the formula of lining up more Hispanic no-hopers to protect the 0 at all costs.

Hopefully this will give Stevenson enough courage to fight Tank

This is why boxing is falling off. The judges and refs need to go into the match with a blank slate. Not going in to protect a boxer's "0". Every time it's a close fight and the underdog is winning, this type of crap occurs. Get rid of the three judge format and move it to 5. 3 Ring side and 2 separated in the press box.

Well deserved and convincing win for Lamont roach. I had always expected a boxer with a high guard would undo this kid and protection of weight advantage. He got undone tonight, and was the only one smiling about it. Why?
this is what happens when Davis can’t land a clean punch. He tries the dirty chit, should have been a point deduction for the shoulder and a knockdown for the knee, when the ref steps in, it’s cut and dried, it’s a count. But really, roach won without any of that, boxing in the USA has had its reputation tarnished once again at the cost of a man who is worth less money. Greedy kunts.
one more time, excellent win for the super featherweight champ. 2 belt champ and showed all you have to do.

Hopefully this will give Stevenson enough courage to fight Tank

What are you talking about? Shakur has called out Tank multiple times. Shakur even accepted a 70:30 split in favor of Tank whom he acknowledged was the A side.
If Tank couldn’t beat Roach, how is he going to beat Shakur?

That was yet another example of the myriad of foreign fighters that get robbed when they come to the US.
Martinez got robbed again in the Paul Williams fight.

This little clown from Baltimore better never mention Crawford's name again.

Steve Willis is the worst ref in boxing. It's clear that he's always biased in favor of the house fighter.
