Gervont ‘Tenk Davis must wonder if he wants to return him with Lamont Roach after the problem he had in their drawing majority in 12 rounds on March 1 in Brooklyn, New York. Nysac decided not to cancel the results of the struggle, holding it with a draw, despite the mess made by the judge in the ninth round.
This still does not change the fact that the boxing world has been overwhelmingly seen by the Tank Davis (30-0-1, 28 ko) lost that fight. The heads of the fans remain a mental star in addition to the undefeated record that will remain. Simply put, Roach beat him. The tank took his knee in the ninth round and was supposed to lose that point. Everyone saw him.
Why a rematch?
- High PPV numbers: Fans will be very interested in a rematch after a controversy from their last fight.
- Quiet suspects: Tank needs a victory to show his critics that his previous bad performance was only fluke. He also has to do it for himself because such a fight will eat his confidence and torment him for the rest of his career.
- Damage check: The transition from this fight without proving will harm Gervont’s popularity and could make less money.
It is crucial that Tank Davis is returning to the ring this year, not waiting until 2026 for a rematch with Roach. He has to hit the iron even hot and the fans are interested in fighting. If Gervont is waiting until next year, the fans will forget and there will be not so much purchase of PPV. The tank only fought once in 2024, but this year it must fight at least twice.
“I’m not surprised at the NYSAC decision. A little disappointed, yes, especially when they acknowledged the fact that Steve made the wrong calls in the 9th round. But I didn’t deal with the rollover. Everyone knows I won the fight and I am pleased with it. Part 2 OTW [on the way]”, Said Lamont Roach on Xresponding to the Athletic Commission of the New York State, which decided not to undo the results of its struggle on March 1.
