Gervonta Davis walked out of Barclay’s Center with his WBA lightweight world title intact, but the decision came with a heap of controversy.
‘Tank’ was the heavy favorite to come out on top against his opponent, current WBA super featherweight titleholder Lamont Roach, but the ‘The Reaper’ wasn’t going down without a fight. And for 12 rounds, he brought it to Davis, outstriking the undefeated superstar with a bevy of brutal combinations.
Still, Davis won enough of the early rounds with his methodical approach to establish a solid lead.
