Lamont Roach Jr. got honest about Gervonta “Tank” Davis’ punching power after their controversial fight.
Entering his March 1 fight against Lamont Roach Jr. for the WBA lightweight title, Gervonta “Tank” Davis had knocked out his opponents in 28 of his 30 professional fights (all of which were victories).
This is why it wasn’t a surprise to see that Davis (who was a -1600 favorite heading into this fight) was listed at -400 to knock Roach out. Of course, we now know that not only did Davis not knock Roach out, but many could insist that he lost the fight outright.
Alas, despite the well-documented controversy in the ninth round, Davis and Roach fought to a majority draw, which meant that Davis retained his WBA lightweight belt.
