A draw was not the result boxing fans wanted tonight but what proved to be a good boxing match in many ways at the same time.
Going into the fight as we said, people were sleeping on Roach and his ability — which he proved tonight.
The fight was close and scored a majority draw with Davis retaining his titles as a result — women’s boxing star Claressa Shields said after:
“Congrats to @OneOf1x ! You may have not got the W but I’ve never seen a fighter hurt Tank, win rounds, and not get dropped! You are a special talent!”
Well said.
Lamont Roach has now positioned himself in the mix for some very big fights in the sport moving forward.
