Gervonta Davis Disagrees with Isaac Cruz vs Lamont Roach Jr Draw: 'He Lost' | Boxing News
But here's where it gets controversial... On Saturday night, Isaac Cruz and Lamont Roach Jr. battled to a draw in San Antonio, leaving many in the boxing world scratching their heads. While some celebrated the hard-fought draw, Gervonta Davis, a seasoned veteran, had a different take. Davis, who has faced both Cruz and Roach in the ring, believes that Roach was lucky to avoid a defeat, stating, 'His a** lost [to Cruz].'
Davis, known for his powerful punching and relentless style, has a point. In 2021, he faced Cruz and, despite going the distance, ultimately lost a unanimous decision after 12 rounds. This time around, Roach, the WBA lightweight champion, managed to secure a draw, despite Davis' apparent dominance during the fight. But Davis isn't buying it. He calls Roach a 'gatekeeper' and hints at a potential rematch with Cruz, suggesting a move up to 140lbs once he recovers from a knee injury.
And this is the part most people miss... The draw between Cruz and Roach raises questions about the fairness of judging in boxing. While some may argue that the draw was justified, Davis' perspective offers a different insight. He believes that Roach, who has been inactive and unmotivated for top-level fights, should have lost. This sparks a discussion: How should we evaluate draws in boxing, especially when one fighter seems to have the upper hand?
