Gervonta Davis still has fight-ending power and elite timing, but the Lamont Roach draw exposed cracks in his focus. Is Tank mentally checked out?
That fight has been over a year and a half ago around this point.
Some notes on this on the erratic Tank from Baltimore;
- Still possesses devastating one-punch KO power with either hand
- Elite timing and ring IQ—he “downloads data” early rounds before striking
- Head-turning knockout ratio of 28 KOs in 30 fights
- Underrated defensively—frames opponents and uses shoulder to stay safe
- His crowd knows a knockout is coming; that’s the “Tank aura”
- But took a knee against Lamont Roach and reached for his face—spell broke
- Recent performances showed hesitation, not the usual swagger
- Legal troubles and personal issues have followed his entire career
- Asked about Isaac Cruz, he said “Soon as my knee gets better”—sounded uncertain
- The question isn’t power—it’s whether his reflexes and focus are still there
The longer he stays removed from boxing the more ring rust he is building up daily also.
Not good for him.
His timing is going to be off and he had meant to box Jake Paul last year, nothing since.
Tough to say if his mind is still on boxing at this point.
The Lamont Roach rematch still a massive fight in the US, it is there for him immediately even.
The madness of Gervonta Tank Davis continues until he signs a fight.
