Canelo Alvarez Insists Gervonta Davis Deserved to Be Disqualified During Lamont Roach Fight

Boxing icon Canelo Alvarez thinks Gervonta Davis should have been disqualified during his fight with Lamont Roach Jr.

While ‘Tank’ and Roach delivered an entertaining back-and-forth battle inside the Barclay’s Center in NYC earlier this month. Unfortunately, the otherwise entertaining clash was marred in controversy after Davis inexplicably took a knee during the ninth round before hightailing it to his corner to wipe his face.
