No change: Nysac keeps Gervonta Davis-Lamont Roach Draw despite the controversial round

The New York State Sports Commission would have chosen to keep the Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis against Lamont Roach a 12 -laps draw rather than overthrowing the results of their confrontation on March 1 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The draw stands

Surprisingly, the fight will not be changed for a victory for Roach (25-1-2, 10 KB) because the light champion WBA Davis (30-0-1, 28 ko) took one knee in the ninth round, a second after being hit. He then got up and returned to his corner so that his trainer tries the hair of the fat of his eyes without the referee giving a time dead.

Lance Pugmire reported X He was told that the NYSAC would not change the result of the tank fight. The scores were 115-113 for the tank, 114-114 and 114-114.

It would be interesting to know what is the justification of the New York Commission to keep the fight for a draw. No matter if Gervonta had fat hair in the eyes, a point should have been deducted from him when he knee, and a disqualification given when he turned his back and went to his corner to get his face.

Boxing fans on social networks are not surprised by the NYSAC which does not change the results, because they estimated that the power of the tank stars makes him someone who receives a special treatment. If the results of the fight were modified by the commission, giving Gervonta a loss, would he choose never to fight in New York again?

Revenge or move on?

Davis is planned, give Roach a revenge, but we will see if he does it. He might want to move on if he can fight more lucrative against Vasily Lomachenko, Ryan Garcia or Jake Paul.

Roach started slowly in the fight, without launching a lot of blows in the first half of the competition. But on the section in the second half, he exceeded the tank, offender and angry him. By frustration, Tank began to use Roughhouse Tactics against Roach, trying everything to take control of the fight. Nothing worked.
