No change: NYSAC supports Gervonta Davis-Lamont Roach lottery despite the controversial round

It is reported that the New York State Athletics Commission has chosen to keep Gervont’s “Tank” Davis against Lamont Rach’s 12 round draw, rather than burying results from their collision on March 1 in Barclays in Brooklyn.

The draw stands up

Surprisingly, the fight will not be changed to Roach victory (25-1-2, 10 kos), as WBA lightweight champion Davis (30-0-1, 28 Kos) took the knee in the ninth round, a second after hit. He then got up and went back to his corner so that his coach would have thirsted for his hair lubricant without the referee without a timaut.

Lance Pugmire reported Unhindered that he was told that NYSAC would not change the outcome of the tanks and transition. The results were 115-113 tank, 114-114 and 114-114.

It would be interesting to find out what the New York Commission’s justification for preserving the fight. Regardless of whether Gervont’s eyes had a hair lubricant, he had to deduct the point when he picked up his knee, and the disqualification was given when he turned his back and walked to his corner to wipe his face.

Boxing fans in social media are not surprised that NYSAC does not change the results because they believed that the power of the Tanka Stars makes him a special attitude. If the commission changed the results of the fight, causing a loss to Gervonta, would he choose to never fight in New York again?

Repeat or move on?

Davis is expected to give Roach a repeat game, but we will see if he will do it. He might want to move on if he could get a more profitable fight against Vasily Lomachenko, Ryan Garcia or Jake Paul.

Roach started slowly in the fight without scoring a lot of kicks in the first half of the competition. But in the second half, he beat the tank, contrasting him and angry with him. From frustration, the tank began to use Roughhouse tactics against Rach, trying anything to get control over the fight. Nothing worked.
