Lamont Roach has been on the end of two of maybe the most rare things that ever happen in professional boxing as a sport.
That’s draws.
They are very rare when a contest goes to the cards and is declared a draw and for a professional boxing to have one in his career is seldom enough seen.
But to have two back to back at the highest level is almost unheard of. First in early 2025 he drew with Gervonta Davis and then with Isaac Cruz.
His boxing style is a problem for anyone and his determination and mentality makes him always dangerous.
Some insight on this:
Lamont Roach fought Gervonta Davis to a disputed draw in 2025.
He won gold medals as an amateur at the National Golden Gloves.
Roach holds a professional record of 25 wins, 1 loss, and 3 draws.
He has 10 knockouts in his career.
Roach has moved up to junior welterweight after fighting at super featherweight.
He is known as a skilled technician with strong ring intelligence.
Roach often steps up in risky matchups while others avoid them.
He continues to chase bigger fights at 135 and 140 pounds in 2026.
The Gervonta Davis rematch looks like it won’t be happening any time soon but big things could be ahead for Lamont Roach regardless.
Who knows what fights he will be in next this year but he remains a very underestimated opponent by many, strangely.
Most thought he deserved to get the decision against both Gervonta Davis of Baltimore and against Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz of Mexico.
Lamont Roach this week on social media promised big news — he needs it to be a big fight for him next.
He’s been going back and forth with super-featherweight champion O’Shaquie Foster a bit on social media lately so maybe that could be a fight next.
Foster just beat Ray Ford by majority decision to that’s another world title opportunity for Roach if that fight happens.
Let’s see what fights Lamont Roach is in this year.
