Gervonta Davis vs Lamont Roach 2 set for August 16

Roach will need a KO just to get a draw.

 

Roach did more than enough to win the first fight. I had him winning 8-4. He took Tank's best shots and countered them with combinations. He applied pressure and didn't get careless even when he found success after a clean connection. Tank had zero answers beyond his power saving him from being outboxed like it has in the past. I understand Roach is still the underdog in the rematch, but truthfully the questions should be directed at Tank and Tank only. Can he showcase that he is able to control the action from round to round rather than allowing his opponent to get in rhythm and touch him early and often. As we can see, not everyone will bow down to his power. Roach had the remedy for it.

 

I hope they have a better referee this time.

 

See, that's the thing. They didn't have a terrible referee. Steve Willis is one of the best in the game. A future HOFer ref at the end of his career. If you look at the fights he was in the ring for throughout his career, you'd see how well he protects the fighters and keeps both fighters within the rules of engagement, which is why it's just puzzling that he allowed Tank to bend the rule like he did.

Has anyone interview him since this fight. I would really like to hear his vantage point of what happened in the ring.

 

If Roach can get a fair shake of the sauce bottle he can win this.

 

He was paid off.

 

You have evidence of this or is this just you begging for attention with an ignorant claim to defame an honorable man? Steve Willis deserves an opportunity to say what he saw and why he allowed what he did. Too many kids with a WiFi connection just get online and say anything without any facts to base their comments on.

 

Evidence? Yeah. He was paid. Paid by the promoter. Boxing is a dirty sport, always has been. Refs are not exempt from this. He literally started a count, then stopped, and let Stank do what ever he wanted because he had to protect the house money.
Honorable man? My guy, you don't even know him, fanboy. Don't get your panties in a wad, stop with the ad hominems, and stop protecting blatant corruption and biased officiating.
