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

[patscorpio]

it's still fukking sad about hurd though...genetics will let you know how many punches you can take before you can't take it no more..rule of thumb you can't just walk down and take punches to land your own..shyt adds up..harrison, trout, lara..bro expired in 30 fights...losing to c level fighters after j rock..i truly hope hurd does stay retired..right now you see it with joe joyce and the ending will be prolly be similar if he keeps on

tellez inexperience is the only reason why a thoroughly beaten j rock lasted the distance....bro was losing fights at the tail end of his 154 run to vladimir hernandez...went up to 160 and got ko'ed by adames..going back down was not a good idea..and now its not a good idea for him to continue fighting....its over for j rock too

i despise puello so much...believed sandor def pulled it out but sandor got one of those styles that makes shyt difficult...puello be getting the benefit of the doubt too gotdamn much with his constant split decisions

wasn't for 140 gary russ getting another title shot after losing his zero and rayo should have fought hiraoka...but i guess there are levels...rayo boxed up pitbull's fraud ass...rayo got boxed and beaten by gary russ....robert garcia should have pulled rayo out much earlier in the fight...but its good to see a russell brother be a world champion..now i hope he can break the 1 and done curse thats been plaguing the last 4-5 wba 140 champs lol

So it seems that a smart well rounded boxer CAN trade with tank and not die. That’s what I think surprises me most. Didn’t think anyone his size can risk getting touched like that by him. Roach is the truth.

Tank power is overrated to a degree. People think is is Tyson or Foreman. Against top opposition although he has one punch power it almost comes from a counterpunch the opponent just doesn’t see. Ryan, Rollie, and Leo all made technical mistakes that walked them in to counterpunch they never saw coming. If you can see everything like Roach and not fall in no stupid trap you stand a much better chance.

It's usually the shots you can't see for tank he has great accuracy and placement. He's not on some beterbiev power shyt

People trying to elevate Roach to a A tier fighter now that he beat Tank is wild
Naw, it's still a cherry pick gon wrong
Neither Vegas nor pretty much anyone outside of the Roach household had this fight as a 50/50

Props to Roach and his game plan and all that but Tank still lost to a guy under his level

Sometimes fighters are better than people give them credit for.

Ultimately, you should measure them based on performance, not reputation/hype which is what odds are influenced by.

Word you see it. He got power for sure but most of his KOs come from dudes gassing or being technically stupid. He a counter puncher thru n thru and Roach just didnt give him too many ops to hit him with something he didnt already see coming. Which is why Im curious folks somehow think Shakur is going to do worse as his reflexes and defense are otherworldly in comparison to Roach. He doesnt even need power to win that fight, I dont see how tank even gets past his jab tbh

nikkas definitely hate Tank. Most of the conversation ain't even really about Lamont. I think I've seen 2 nikkas congratulate Lamont on a good performance. Most nikkas are just gloating that Tank "got exposed." nikkas was waiting on this moment and they're even more happy that it happened against a 9-1 underdog.

Nope. I like Tank, always did but I am a fan of BOXING. The science and the sport. I get sick of casuals thinking that guys like Tank are invincible because he is a household name. Like most people were picking Spence simply because they didn’t know anything about Bud or because Errol was more popular name. My cousin was interviewed at prefight and he don’t know shyt about boxing and he predicted Spence. I called him immediately and said

Tank is perceived as the best fighter in and around his weight class because people like knockouts. He is not better than ANY top fighter who has been at that weight for past 2-3 years. Not Devin, not Loma, not, Shakur. Can he beat them? Should he be favored over them? Of course. Is he better or on a level above? fukk no. The only people you can say he is better than are the ones he beat. Even Roach proved he is on Tank level even if he is not quite as good.

I said before the fight Roach is bigger, stronger, with solid punch and solid speed and defense. I said out of all the guys that Tank ko’d in past few years Roach had best chance to go the distance and had a better chance to win than people gave him credit for. I didn’t expect Tank output to be so low or I would’ve picked Roach to win.

2nd time going the distance and now Tank power is overrated




Good thing social media wasn’t around when Tyson lost to douglas

Listen, you see it. From the opening bell Tank was moving all around n shyt because he knew he couldn’t walk through Roach so what he do? He tried to set them traps for Roach to fall in to and get hit with counter. Roach ain’t Rollie or Ryan. Tank could have won this fight if he was moving his hands from beginning to end. He said in post fight he need to work on some shyt. Why you think the real reason Barry Hunter is there? The worst thing for a counter puncher is when the opening is not there. nikka fought like Broner last night.

 

[surv2syn]

Roach lead foot was constantly on the outside of Tank’s. He was able to control him a lot based on this. Yall gotta realize Tank not a big guy with a long reach. He has to get inside. Roach had good chin and defense. He is the best boxer Tank has faced since Gamboa.

 

[Inferno]

Tank should have been deducted a point. That’s some BS

People apparently dont realize no matter how little power u think a boxer has. You literally cant just walk thru a bigger fighter if he has a good jab.

Then he got in close to smother tank work n did not look good there. Some huge holes got exposed

Tank has to get his lick back because if kur actually does fight roach I see him winning that and Tanks whole resume turns to complete shyt

Who tf he knocking out? But when Bud knock out everyone for 5 years straight he fighting bums. Which is it??? Bud did the same thing to Spence that’s how you know. When fighters step up opposition the knockout is harder to get. If he ever fights Shakur I will be looking for all you suckas because I bet money he won’t knock Shakur out. It just won’t happen.
