AThe referee Steve Willis allowed the referee Steve Willis to save performance cards for the Davis team in the title of WBA 135LB against Lamont Roche at the Barclays Center on Saturday evening.
Davis (now 30-0-1, 28 KOS), fighting professionally for 12 years. At the age of thirty, he is an elite fighter with an enthusiastic mass base of 7.6 million followers on Instagram. The awareness of the prevailing sports fans has not yet permeated. But for his fans, every Battle of Girvonta Davis occurs. Davis V Roach recorded the attendance of events at all in the history of the Barclays Center. The 19250 -year -old crowd has achieved the second largest in the square ever, which was unprecedented by Rolling Stones.
In the circuit, Davis runs himself like a hero. He is a disciplined fighter rarely making foolish options. Outside the ring, often, it behaves like bullying. Over and over again, Gervonta participated in the criminal justice system. Many of these events focus on women’s physical attack. The most dangerous in terms of legal consequences for Davis resulted in his imprisonment in 2023 after he acknowledged that he was guilty of charges related to the accident that was injured by four people.
Stephen Espinoza, former Sports President Stephen Espinoza, saw Davis as a room for the boxing program in Showtime before the network came out of boxing work. In an attempt to put a positive spinning on the problems of Girponta with the law, Espinoza declared, “What you get is authentic and crude. It is an undeniable part of culture and media today, and perhaps more than ever. Saying“ All propaganda is good propaganda ”may be more healthy. I do not say that it is good to face legal problems, and certainly not the type of legal issues that calls for [Davis’s nickname] He was. But in a larger scheme, this is the world of the media in which we live, where people talk about you, it is generally good for your work or future. “
This is a satirical approach. Moreover, while Davis was a synergy with Espinoza, Gervonta had a lower relationship with the new boxing broker – Turkish (ALASHIKH (Chairman of the Saudi General Entertainment).
In January, alashikh announced, “I want it [Davis] I send a message now [for] for you [PBC impresario] Haimon: Let’s do Job, my brother. Davis, of course we want it in our country. “
In response, Davis posted on X, “They made me angry. If they want me, they have something to send me something to the front door … like 2 Ferraris. Like before I thought about going there.”
Al -Sheikh replied, “I heard in the media,” I heard in the media, “He sent me two Ferraris to play in Saudi Arabia.” I told him, “We will send you two gloves if you want to play in Saudi Arabia; that’s all.”
Davis is used to the promotional obligations and it was known to reach late hours of important media occasions. The press conference was scheduled to start at Davis V Roach at the Barclays Center on December 3 at 1 pm. Late that morning, the media was advised via e -mail that he had been rescued at 3 pm. Later in the day, the time has been paid again. The press conference recently started at 5:30 pm.
Roach won the WBA 130LB title by dividing the decision on Hector Luis Garcia in 2023 and was weight to fight Girfonta. Most observers saw that Lamont Lambes, which he confessed to at the press conference, complained of “people talking about fighting.”
During the fighting week, Davis’s contempt for his promotional obligations was offered again. On Wednesday, he arrived at Gleason’s Gym after 45 minutes due to the promised “media exercise”, he spoke with the PBC Miguel Flores host for several minutes, and left the gym without throwing a punch or answering questions from the combined media.
When Fight Night, the eight heroes of the former heroes, the heroes, the alphabet belts, young prospects, and club fighters were faded without a future. Most battles were not identical. But tonight was about Gervonta. Every other fighter was on the card, including Roach, collapsed.
The crowds in Davis battles have a difficult feature. Jervonta is an explosive fighter. When it fights, the square beats with excitement. It is defensively skilled, reflects well, and puts its strengths well in particular. It is also a southern, which makes the puzzle more difficult for opponents.
Roche (who entered the battle with a record of 25-1-1, 10 KOS) is a strong fighter. But he is not pierced and did not think about the Davis level. Girfonta was preferred from 12 to 1.
The battle started slowly. Davis usually awaits his opponent to make a mistake and the meters with power. But Roche fought with equal caution and did not give Girfonta a lot to confront him. There was no procedure early. Lamont fell seven meager punches in the first two rounds and Jervonta four. Just a feeling of expectation that accompanies the Battle of Jerevonta Davis has given the drama of procedures.
As the tours pass, both fighters opened a little bit with Roche holding his exchange. The crowd continued waiting for a big thing. In the ninth round, I did. But what was expected by anyone.
Fifty seconds of the ninth round, Roche fell, followed by the solid right hand that fell up. Davis took a knee. Steve Willis ruling the dawn of the call.
Despite the start of the count, Willis Davis allowed to go to his corner where Korman wiped his face with a towel. After that, without calling a judge or punishing Gervonta in another way, Willis allowed the procedure to continue.
This was a terrible mistake. The fighter cannot call a boxing deadline. At least, Willis should have ruled that Girvonta was in the knee was a “knockout.” In addition to the spectrum, Davis could have punished another point to interfere in the corner or even (this could have been far).
Double the error. The New York Sports State Committee has a review official in charge of reviewing accidents of this type. However, the wrong call was not corrected because the PBC-Azzon production team failed to provide a restart of the review committee within the one minute before the next round starts.
Eric Marlesky recorded the battle 115-113 for Davis. Steve Weshfield and Jalin Feldman were even at 114-114. Two of the judges – Marlesky and Vildman – scored on the ninth of Davis, which made Steve Willis a three -point error on their performance cards.
If Willis was properly called a knockout, Roths would have won Resolution 115-112, 114-113, 114-113.
When the clouds were announced, the pro -Davis crowd was made loudly. Initially, it seems that the fans could be dissatisfied because Gervonta did not get the decision. But this possibility was erased when the crowd cried Girfonta during a post -fighting interview where he made it clear that he had taken a knee because “I did my hair two days ago and put grease in the shit. So, grease, when it sweats, was entering my face.”
New York boxing lovers have a sense of fairness even if some rulers do not.
What is the next for Davis? For beginners, Girvonta has been some of his luster as a fighter on Saturday night. One must also ask. His mental condition.
Ten years ago, at the dawn of his career in boxing, Girponta David Grizman told, “I came from a dark background. I was in the nursery care, collective homes and things because my mother was more than drugs and things like that. [Then] My grandmother brought me back from the nursery. The school started. I was in a new neighborhood. So I was a new child on the mass and I was light skin and I was short, so I had to fight a lot. “
Of these assets, the character was falsified and fighter. Now, after countless problems, Davis was talking recently as a man to re -evaluate his life:
“Exposure to betrayal, all I have gone through. This is now trying to separate myself from it. I am trying to move beyond the place I came from. I feel as if I could have become a better person but there was no yet. The person I can become, I can see, but this [boxing] It prevents me from getting it. I still have to build a psychological and angry to fight. This is like a psychological contradiction. “
“It is things that grabbed myself. I will do it, then I will be like,” if I don’t have this inside me, it’s not happening. I hadn’t picked up if I had no medium aspect inside me. Or I can handle it better than the way I went to it. I got children now. I don’t want to pick up my daughters. I feel as if I could remove everything and work on myself, such as returning to school, treating and moving forward; I feel like this would change me as a man. “
“I want to do treatment, right? But I feel as if I was a treatment, so I will lose the fire that I have inside. I want everything from me where I do not even think about anger. I want to be softer, and I am more modest and things like that. I don’t want to win anymore. After the second battle, after the second battle. [in 2025]I am outside the sport. “
But the first thing first. Davis has an incomplete work with Lamont Roche. In all possibilities, they will fight again. But at the present time, flowers are outside Rose Girfonta Davis.
