Now let's get to boxing, where many fans were stunned Saturday night after Javonte Tank Davis left Barclay Center with a majority draw against mister Lamont Roach. For those that don't know, the undefeated Davis was a heavy favorite against Roach, and many fans were stunned when Davis took a knee in the middle of the ninth round and retreated to the corner to have his team wipe his face with a towel. Now, taking the knee and fight a fight is usually scored as a knockdown, and you should have
been scored that way. It should have been scored that way. How had a fight continued without Roach being credited with knocking down Davis. Here's how Davis explained the move during the post fight interview. Listen up, Tank, you voluntarily took a knee midway through this fight. It was not ruled a knockdown. What happened to me? Took it? I just got my hand done two days ago and she picked
grease in my shit. So the shit was like, you know, like when you sweating it things like that, and the grease come in my mind, my face, It burnt my eyes type shit. Now, why y'all boring like I'm saying bullshit like this is real facts. Comorrow man, look at my ham. I just got my shit done. But it's all cool man like you know, I get they love you and then they hate you, turn around that love you again. You know what I mean? Well, as it pertains to Javonte Tank Davis, when the hell has anybody
been hating on you? He's thirty and oh with twenty eight KOs? Who the hell was hating on Javonte Davis? Am I missing something? It certainly wasn't anybody that I've seen in media or whatever. And I know that sounds like a bullshit excuse to a lot of people. You know, you got your hair done and she put too much grease in the hair and all of this other stuff. But it's Tank Davis. So guess what, ladies and gentlemen, I'm believing him. You're thirty and oh with twenty eight KOs.
He took a knee, got up, walked to the corner, had his face white and tean right back. I'm believing him. I didn't see him hurt on anything like that. I get that part. I saw him hurt when he got popped with a counter from Lamar and he stumbled backwards because he got hit with a shot while throwing a punch in an earlier round. So I'm certainly not gonna do that. Here's the important point to mention. All of us got to stand down and give Lamont Roach an apology.
I thought that brother was gonna get beat down because I saw a dude that was a bantamweight champion. I said, why are you moving up to fight this guy? Why is Javonte Davis taking this fight? This guy's too small? What the hell is going on? He was a featherweight champion. You're a lightweight. What the hell is going on? Why would you take that fight? I didn't understand it. What I didn't know is that once Lamont Roach stepped into
the ring, he would be the bigger fighter. What I didn't know is that once he was in the ring and he looked like the bigger fighter, he fought like the bigger fighter, because ladies and gentlemen, from opening bell, he walked right to Javonte Davis, walked right to him and stayed in his face all night long. If he backed up at all, ladies and gentlemen, it five percent of the time. The other ninety five percent of the time. He walked right to Javonte Davis. Javonte Davis caught him
with some good shots. He took it and then gave it back, body punches, counter punching, left hook, straight rights. This brother, Lamont Roach can fight, and he's beautiful defensively as well, and seemed completely unfazed and undeterred by Tank Davis, a knockout artist, and I'll give Javonte Davis credit for this.
Usually when a champion who is undefeated, who gets in a fight like that, finds himself with a majority drawer, with people questioning whether or not he legitimately won, it's usually the promoters and the audience that's calling for a rematch. Javonte Davis, who had been alluding to retirement, immediately said let's do it again. Let's get it going, no problem at all. I give him credit for that, because guess what I wanted to see Javonte Davis versus chakor Stevenson.
I wanted to see him against Tali Lemonchenko. I wanted to see him against Ryan Garcia in a rematch. I wanted to see him against Tiafimo Lopez. Ladies and gentlemen. None of them deserved the shot ahead of a rematch for Lamont Roach. None of them. And check out Lamont Roach's tweets. I don't know, he said, if you meaning, if you mean pushing, my contract already signed and set for the immediate rematch, because you put that in there just in case you lost. Only reason we don't fight
is because you scared. Javonte Davis comes back two hours later and say no more. I'm pushing for the rematch. This is what we love when it comes to boxing. This is what we love to see. It's me against you, baby, And next time, you know what, maybe I ain't gonna say Gavonte Davis wasn't ready. He looked pretty ready to me. It's just that Lamont Roach was ready. We didn't see
this brother, y'all. We've seen him now. Lamont Roach. Remember that name, because if he beats Tavante Tang Davis in a rematch, he will instantly become a household name.
