After his draw with Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis — Lamont Roach has exploded onto the world boxing scene’s highest level over night.
Something that boxing frequently does — it makes over night stars maybe more than any other professional sport.
As many are pointing out, Roach at the weekend became only the second fighter ever to take Gervonta Davis the distance.
The other being Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz back in December 2021.
Some thought Roach did enough to win at the weekend — others thought Davis won.
Controversy sells and the rematch will be an interesting one if it can be made.
