The WBA champion Lightweight Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis (30-0, 28 KB) obtained a majority gift as a gift 12 against the Roach of the Lamont oppressed (25-1-2, 10 ko) in front of a closed-shot crowd of unhappy fans at the end of the night on Saturday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Make an referee error

The referee contributed to the result of the fight by waving a helping hand in the ninth, when Gervonta took a knee after being labeled by a right hand thrown into the pipe by Roach.

After the fight, Tank Davis said he thought he had won the victory in the last three laps. However, these are the best laps in the battle of Roach, because he struck Davis at will with gunshots, the frustrating and the fans amplified.

The scores

115-113 Tank Davis
114-114
114-114

It must be the worst theft I have ever seen. Roach educated the tank of A to B, making him look like a row lover tonight, the counter time on every occasion. When things seemed dark for Davis in the championship rounds, he used cheating, hitting the roach on his back, exhausting and launching low shots.

Final punch statistics

Tank Davis: 103 out of 279 for a connection rate of 37%
Lamont Roach: 112 out of 400 for 28%

I have never seen someone take a knee and he did not count it as a blow. Must have forgotten the rules of this evening.
