3/1/25 PBC on PRIME PPV: Gervonta Tank Davis vs Lamont Roach (WBA Lightweight Title)

[Knicksman20]

Teddy atlas made a good point. After roach started winning tank started tapping roach after rounds as to say good round. Could be wrong, but haven’t noticed that from him before. No bully behavior

I saw that too & took it as him almost conceding lol

 

[MicIsGod]

To be fair it seems like tank was trying to do that even when he was winning. I think there was just a lot of mutual respect. Which is why they were doing so much talking in the ring.

I didn’t notice it until he got caught in the 8th.

 

[CodeBlaMeVi]

All this talk don't matter. Tank should be fighting the top fighters in his division. He isn't.

None of them n**gas are fighting and we let 2 b**ches say they’re not fighting and cool with it.

It looked to me like when the bell hit early in the fight tank would hesitate to see if they were gonna touch gloves but Lamont wasn't having any of it. Tank never extended his hand or anything just a slight hesitation that you don't usually see from him. But yea it definitely became more noticeable after round 8.

I mean tank did himself no favors essentially confirming he did take a Timeout lol

Yeah and no. Boxers like Floyd will pot shot to ensure that they take the lead in rounds. The fighter then has the choice of chasing the fight or losing a lopsided fight.

Fighters like Bud figure out the range and timing of their opponent. Then there hands start going.

Davis is heavily dependent on creating openings. He is more passive which people wouldn't readily see because of his KO percentage.

Tank has stalked opponents before. Again, it depends on who that opponent is. Roach isn’t someone he can stalk but unfortunately he was a guy who was going to fall in to those sneaky traps Tank be setting. I just don’t think he expected Lamont to hit him as cleanly and the power surprised him. Or else he would’ve stepped to him more.

Bringing shyt from other sections into the boxing forum.....that's so tacky.....just like J Cole ....and nobody was speaking nonsense except for you. Go bump some forest hills drive and take a nap. Seems like you need one

Tacky, but you went and posted a whole other quote too, and you you got no rebuttal. So your a casual in music and boxing. Got you

 

[surv2syn]

Roach is just better than we realized. It is fair to bring up tanks power though. A 130 pounder walking through loaded left hands isn’t something anyone expected.

In actuality you were watching a 135 lb fighter against 130 lb fighter but it was actually the other way around than what was perceived.

W the confidence Roach is going to have in the rematch the corner might have to wave it off for Tank. It’s going to be round 13 from the jump and now he is more comfortable at the weight

Canelo vs Bivol is the poster child and this is a close 2nd in the last 5 years

No way Canelo was moving up and he took the L to a guy who would become the man at 175 not the same at all, Roach would need to go on a wild run after this.

Eddie hearn said himself that the fight was made because Bivol dodnt look good in his last fight.

It may look good now, but this didn't fight didnt happen that long ago where we can forget About the circumstances it happened on.

From their Canelo went on to fight an old GGG and then a much smaller Charlo

That’s cool and all but we are in the now and going off what actually happened Canelo lost but he lost to a guy who is the man now.

Roach would have to unify 135 to be in the same sentence.
