Lamont Roach revealed that the contract for his battle in opposition to WBA light-weight champion Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis features a rematch clause. Their rescheduled March 1st battle will likely be at a venue but to be decided. Followers imagine that Tank will knock out Roach quick.
Roach (25-1-1, 10 KOs) is telling followers to “prepare” for a second battle between him and Tank (30-0, 28 KOs) as a result of he intends to beat him of their first battle on March 1st.
Boxing followers are laughing at Roach, 29, on social media, saying he’s NOT going to win and can by no means get the possibility to rematch Tank after he’s knocked out.
“There’s a rematch clause, folks. So prepare for 2 fights and after I beat him(Gervonta Davis) the 2nd time. I’ll ask the WBA to let me go as much as 140 and battle Rayo [Valenzuela for his light Welterweight belt,” said Roach on X.
The Roach fight is considered the standard cherry pick for Tank Davis has become his trademark during his 11-year professional career. Tank’s management has kept him protected during his career to keep him from getting picked off by the killers in the three divisions he’s fought in.
Roach was selected from the super featherweight division to be Tank Davis’ challenger, and initially, the excuse was that the fight would do good regional numbers in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. area on the East Coast. However, with the fight scheduled to occur initially at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas for December 14th, that took away the regional argument for why this fight is happening.
Boxing fans wanted to see Tank fight Edwin De Los Santos, Keyshawn Davis, Floyd Schofield, Andy Cruz, or William Zepeda next. Choosing the 130-pounder, Roach, over those guys was a bad look on Tank’s part because it was such a poor choice.
Tank’s management is making sure he doesn’t get beaten, and the only way they can do that is by soft matchmaking.
