Gervonta Davis has mind on different things other than Lamont Roach Jr as retirement talks continue
There aren’t too many active boxers who can walk away from the sport at this moment and have no regrets about how their career transpired. Oleksandr Usyk would certainly be one of them. Canelo Alvarez can say the same. As can Gervonta Davis.
The youngest in that bunch, “Tank” still has things left to accomplish. After all, he has never even unified in any weight division. But that isn’t really his fault, as his aura as arguably the most dangerous fighter in the sport kept him from getting truly big fights. Davis has made easy work of his competition through 30 bouts. On Saturday, he’s looking to make it 29 knockouts in 31 fights. Only Lamont Roach Jr. is standing in his way.
Gervonta Davis candidly reveals something he’s terrified of in Lamont Roach Jr. fight
With a nickname of “Tank“, one would imagine Gervonta Davis isn’t scared of anything. His boxing career has certainly justified that, as he has fought some of the best boxers his division has thrown his way. Despite that, Davis has been criticized at times, especially recently, for his opponent choices.
That’s the case at the moment as he prepares to face Lamont Roach Jr. Many fans don’t believe Roach is a caliber of fighter that Davis should be entertaining at his point in his career. Davis will have to put on a show to make it worthwhile. As has been the case for his whole career, Davis won’t be scared of Roach in the ring. But he might be scared of something else.
Gervonta Davis will defend his WBA lightweight title against Lamont Roach Jr. on Saturday, March 1st at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The event begins at 6:00 p.m. local time with the main event expected to begin at approximately 11:00 p.m. Eastern time.
Davis comes into this fight with a perfect record of 30 wins, 28 by knockout, and is a native of Baltimore, Maryland. He will face Roach Jr. who has a record of 25 wins, one loss and one draw with 10 knockouts. Roach will be facing one of today’s top fighters, who has also hinted at a possible early retirement from boxing.
These two boxers have something personal in common from their amateur days, where ‘Tank‘ beat him twice, so it’s going to be spicy. Their press conferences have had everything from insults to serenity to sorrow. Especially when Gervonta found out that Lamont had brought his mother.
Despite Lamont Roach Jr.’s recent progress, Gervonta Davis remains the heavy favorite, highlighted by his knockout power and solid record in big fights. Expect the champion to establish his dominance and come out on top, as Davis has a beastly punch.
But before these two face each other in a fight, others will try to make a name for themselves on the Amazon broadcast, they will also try to steal a piece of the show with the opportunity they have, this is the complete line-up for the show in New York:
