Gervonta Davis vs Lamont Roach 2 set for August 16

Beyond that moment in the fight, what makes you think he is bias..... No one complained about the ref doing anything bias in the entire fight except that one event. So, this tells me that he made a lapse in judgement, not that he is bias.

 

Exactly. That one event is enough to prove bias. It wasn't a lapse of judgement when he went through the motions for at least 9 seconds. He stepped in between the fighters neutralized Roach then stepped to Davis and began to count then asked Davis what's going on. What was going on was Davis took a knee and it should have been called.
I get if it was a flash knockdown that was mistakenly called a slip or push but not 9 seconds worth of lapsing judgement. That's bias for the champ imo.

 

I've got Gervonta "Grease Trap" Davis by SD.

 

Not sure what else Roach can do. He dropped Davis and it was clear as day, and he didnt get it scored as a knock down. Davis took a knee, walked to corner and ref acted like this was 1 of 3 times out Davis can use.

 

Roach is a well schooled boxer as is Tank but in the rematch Tank will separate himself by showing he is a truly great fighter.

 

That makes no sense homie. 9 seconds is too long for it to be called a lapse in judgement..... Stop it.

If the ref is asking questions like "what's going on" during a round and he stops doing his job, then decides to move along with the fight, THAT is the judgement. He started counting because he felt he was taking a knee (which he was)...... The awkward part was him immediately running to his corner and first putting his head through the ropes, then his trainer wiping his face...... THAT is the part that threw EVERYONE off including the ref. Thus he asked the question of "what's going on" and made a judgement call in the moment.

How TF is that being bias. It was the wrong decision, but not evidence of being bias. Humans can make mistakes. Last I checked, Steve Willis was human and he definitely made a mistake. There is zero evidence beyond that one mistake that suggest he is connected or invested more into Tank Davis than he is for Lamont Roach. Especially when we look at the fight and see that he gave a couple verbal warnings to Tank about his low punches, holding, & told him to watch his head when Tank almost rabbit punched Lamont.

Willis was doing his job as he always does. He's one of the best in the business. He just made a lapse in judgement. Is every referee in every sport bias because they made one mistake....... Or are they human.

 

I think Tank will finish him off this time.

 

I think Tank will stop him this time out.

 

If Roach did the exact same thing that Davis did it would have been called a knockdown no questions asked and thats why its bias.

 

I think Tank Davis was having an off day; maybe he hadn't prepared well for the fight or probably underestimated Roach. I'll give Roach credit for the first match. But in my opinion, a well-prepared Tank would knock Roach out.

 

But he didn't do the exact same thing.... Only Tank did it.

I could come back and say that if Lamont would have done this, Willis would have done the same and you be saying that the powers that be were trying to make sure Tank lost.

"IF" are easy to come by.

"IF" Davis had any balls, he would have been fighting Shakur, Haney, or Teo instead of Roach.
"IF" Davis wouldn't have ran to the corner the count wouldn't have stopped.
"IF" Davis wouldn't have gotten his hair done the night before, he wouldn't have anything in his eye.
"IF" Roach would have hit him harder Tank would have went to sleep.
"IF" Davis was taller he would have fought at a higher weigh class.

The "IF" game means nothing compared to WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. And what happened was something that confused EVERYONE watching in the moment. Including you, I, the fighters boxing peers, and Steve Willis. Only thing that has been shown is that Willis is a stand up character and made a bad judgement call in the moment. No one of any logical mind and creditable merit is calling Steve Willis "bias" because that is not what he is known to portray. He made a damn mistake. A LAPSE IN JUDGEMENT. Which happens sometimes on the biggest stages by A LOT OF PEOPLE.

Funny how I ask you for any proof that he shown any bias beyond his mistake and you have nothing. Then you come back with a "What If"..... This conversation has went from logical to laughable.

 

Roach has his number, he's going to get Davis on his win column for the first time. He knows Tank up and down from the ametures

 

Can't wait for this one
