Prediction: Gervonta Davis by Stoppage
Result: Draw
This fight was full of swing rounds where Tank threw far less punches than Roaches but they landed around the same. Tank was so passive and made this fight competitive by limiting himself. Roach shouldn’t have been this competitive but Tank let him in the fight because he didn’t throw. Roach did do some good stuff in there though and should’ve won clearly but of course they could never actually give him the fight. Tank also took a knee in the 9th and inexplicably was given a free timeout. They didn’t even score it 10-8 which would’ve won Roach the fight. Pure corruption and it was great to see Tank booed out the arena for that awful performance. He even admitted post fight that it was a “voluntary knee” 🤦♂️ The ref was counting as he should have and then Gervonta just told him “no it was my hair gel in my eyes” and the ref just accepted that. What an absolute joke.
