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.

Gervonta “Tank” Davis is no stranger to high-stakes fights, but ahead of a potential rematch with Lamont Roach Jr., he has been warned to fix a crucial mistake that could cost him dearly. The undefeated boxing star has dominated the ring for years, but experts believe a flaw in his approach needs immediate attention if he hopes to maintain his reign.

Davis, known for his explosive power and lightning-fast reflexes, has been criticized for lapses in defensive strategy during his fights. While his aggressive style has helped him secure knockouts, analysts warn that Roach Jr. is a smarter, more tactical fighter than before. If Davis underestimates his opponent, it could spell trouble in the rematch.

Former champions and trainers have voiced their concerns, urging Davis to refine his defensive movements and endurance. “Tank is one of the best, but even the best have weaknesses,” said one boxing analyst. “If he doesn’t adjust, Roach Jr. could expose him.” This warning has sparked intense discussion among fans and insiders, raising questions about whether Davis will heed the advice.

As speculation grows, all eyes are on Davis and his training camp. Will he take the warning seriously and adapt his game plan, or will his confidence lead to unexpected challenges? With so much on the line, this rematch could be one of the most defining moments of his career.

Only time will tell if Davis makes the necessary changes, but one thing is certain—boxing fans are in for a thrilling showdown. The stakes have never been higher, and the world is watching to see if “Tank” can silence his critics once again.

 

Gervonta Davis made his intentions perfectly clear following his fight with Lamont Roach.

The two men met earlier this month at the Barclays Center in New York, with ‘Tank’ defending his WBA lightweight title in the contest against Roach who was stepping up from super-featherweight.
