Speaker 1: Now let's get to boxing, where many fans were stunned
Speaker 1: Saturday night after Javonte Tank Davis left Barclay Center with
Speaker 1: a majority draw against mister Lamont Roach. For those that
Speaker 1: don't know, the undefeated Davis was a heavy favorite against Roach,
Speaker 1: and many fans were stunned when Davis took a knee
Speaker 1: in the middle of the ninth round and retreated to
Speaker 1: the corner to have his team wipe his face with
Speaker 1: a towel. Now, taking the knee and fight a fight
Speaker 1: is usually scored as a knockdown, and you should have
Speaker 1: been scored that way. It should have been scored that way.
Speaker 1: How had a fight continued without Roach being credited with
Speaker 1: knocking down Davis. Here's how Davis explained the move during
Speaker 1: the post fight interview. Listen up, Tank, you voluntarily took
Speaker 1: a knee midway through this fight. It was not ruled
Speaker 1: a knockdown. What happened to me? Took it? I just
Speaker 1: got my hand done two days ago and she picked
Speaker 1: grease in my shit. So the shit was like, you know,
Speaker 1: like when you sweating it things like that, and the
Speaker 1: grease come in my mind, my face, It burnt my
Speaker 1: eyes type shit. Now, why y'all boring like I'm saying
Speaker 1: bullshit like this is real facts. Comorrow man, look at
Speaker 1: my ham. I just got my shit done. But it's
Speaker 1: all cool man like you know, I get they love
Speaker 1: you and then they hate you, turn around that love
Speaker 1: you again. You know what I mean? Well, as it
Speaker 1: pertains to Javonte Tank Davis, when the hell has anybody
Speaker 1: been hating on you? He's thirty and oh with twenty
Speaker 1: eight KOs? Who the hell was hating on Javonte Davis?
Speaker 1: Am I missing something? It certainly wasn't anybody that I've
Speaker 1: seen in media or whatever. And I know that sounds
Speaker 1: like a bullshit excuse to a lot of people. You know,
Speaker 1: you got your hair done and she put too much
Speaker 1: grease in the hair and all of this other stuff.
Speaker 1: But it's Tank Davis. So guess what, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: I'm believing him. You're thirty and oh with twenty eight KOs.
Speaker 1: He took a knee, got up, walked to the corner,
Speaker 1: had his face white and tean right back. I'm believing him.
Speaker 1: I didn't see him hurt on anything like that. I
Speaker 1: get that part. I saw him hurt when he got
Speaker 1: popped with a counter from Lamar and he stumbled backwards
Speaker 1: because he got hit with a shot while throwing a
Speaker 1: punch in an earlier round. So I'm certainly not gonna
Speaker 1: do that. Here's the important point to mention. All of
Speaker 1: us got to stand down and give Lamont Roach an apology.
Speaker 1: I thought that brother was gonna get beat down because
Speaker 1: I saw a dude that was a bantamweight champion. I said,
Speaker 1: why are you moving up to fight this guy? Why
Speaker 1: is Javonte Davis taking this fight? This guy's too small?
Speaker 1: What the hell is going on? He was a featherweight champion.
Speaker 1: You're a lightweight. What the hell is going on? Why
Speaker 1: would you take that fight? I didn't understand it. What
Speaker 1: I didn't know is that once Lamont Roach stepped into
Speaker 1: the ring, he would be the bigger fighter. What I
Speaker 1: didn't know is that once he was in the ring
Speaker 1: and he looked like the bigger fighter, he fought like
Speaker 1: the bigger fighter, because ladies and gentlemen, from opening bell,
Speaker 1: he walked right to Javonte Davis, walked right to him
Speaker 1: and stayed in his face all night long. If he
Speaker 1: backed up at all, ladies and gentlemen, it five percent
Speaker 1: of the time. The other ninety five percent of the time.
Speaker 1: He walked right to Javonte Davis. Javonte Davis caught him
Speaker 1: with some good shots. He took it and then gave
Speaker 1: it back, body punches, counter punching, left hook, straight rights.
Speaker 1: This brother, Lamont Roach can fight, and he's beautiful defensively
Speaker 1: as well, and seemed completely unfazed and undeterred by Tank Davis,
Speaker 1: a knockout artist, and I'll give Javonte Davis credit for this.
Speaker 1: Usually when a champion who is undefeated, who gets in
Speaker 1: a fight like that, finds himself with a majority drawer,
Speaker 1: with people questioning whether or not he legitimately won, it's
Speaker 1: usually the promoters and the audience that's calling for a rematch.
Speaker 1: Javonte Davis, who had been alluding to retirement, immediately said
Speaker 1: let's do it again. Let's get it going, no problem
Speaker 1: at all. I give him credit for that, because guess
Speaker 1: what I wanted to see Javonte Davis versus chakor Stevenson.
Speaker 1: I wanted to see him against Tali Lemonchenko. I wanted
Speaker 1: to see him against Ryan Garcia in a rematch. I
Speaker 1: wanted to see him against Tiafimo Lopez. Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: None of them deserved the shot ahead of a rematch
Speaker 1: for Lamont Roach. None of them. And check out Lamont
Speaker 1: Roach's tweets. I don't know, he said, if you meaning,
Speaker 1: if you mean pushing, my contract already signed and set
Speaker 1: for the immediate rematch, because you put that in there
Speaker 1: just in case you lost. Only reason we don't fight
Speaker 1: is because you scared. Javonte Davis comes back two hours
Speaker 1: later and say no more. I'm pushing for the rematch.
Speaker 1: This is what we love when it comes to boxing.
Speaker 1: This is what we love to see. It's me against you, baby,
Speaker 1: And next time, you know what, maybe I ain't gonna
Speaker 1: say Gavonte Davis wasn't ready. He looked pretty ready to me.
Speaker 1: It's just that Lamont Roach was ready. We didn't see
Speaker 1: this brother, y'all. We've seen him now. Lamont Roach. Remember
Speaker 1: that name, because if he beats Tavante Tang Davis in
Speaker 1: a rematch, he will instantly become a household name.
