and do you have a message for him uh honestly he got a fight next week right so um it seemed like he focused on me and Lamar roach is focused on him I think I'm going to go put my bet in on Lamar roach as you talk sports is the the overall makeup of a tank Davis is surprising to most Fighters it won't be surprising to Lamont Roach and LaMont is a DMV fighter himself which means he got that dog you know it's going to be a good fight javana tank Davis and Lamont Roach have
their fight tomorrow and boxing professionals have made their final picks interestingly Lamont roach's confidence during the Press meetings and all through the buildup paid off as he has been earned the belief of some boxing professionals even if the dreaded dvon Davis isn't looking like he's ready to give up his perfect boxing record when it comes to the invitation thing but uh obviously he here for but you know for for a reason he do what he's supposed to do with the guys that's in front of him uh he got good dvon tank Davis with a perfect
record of 30 zero with 28 Knockouts is on a 21 fight streak of Victories by knockout or technical knockout barring his decision win against Isaac Pitbull Cruz he last fought in June knocking out Frank Martin in the eighth round using his speed and power to outclass Martin meanwhile roach a junior lightweight champion is gaining weight to face Davis one of boxing's most dominant knockout assassins you got to look for him you know m you switch it up now it ain't gonna do too much we don't have enough time to switch it up you know so
some boxing professionals feel like Davis picked a weaker opponent to fight and maintain his perfect record because the fight lacks the excitement and competitiveness a matchup against another top lightweight Contender could have offered teofimo Lopez feels it's a mismatch and he's less concerned about Lamont roach's Championship status you know what I'm saying they about to put him with a guy at 130 lb whether he's a champion or not you getting a guy lighter than you to come up and wait to make you look good again I'm saying they're about to put him with a guy
that's 130 lbs whether he's a champion or not you're getting a guy lighter than you come up and weight to make you look good I dominate any of them all right guys turn out and face the crow turn Face the camer in the back guys Hector camera in the backa two Division champion teofimo Lopez who just indicated he was ready for a confrontation later this year is among those looking for a fight in a recent interview with fight hype Lopez questioned Davis's faith in facing Elite opponents building up his followers you know and now look
where that got him so the whole thing is all about man just uh I'm a real fighter that's what it is man the truth and the truth hurts a lot of people but they got to learn how to he underlined the long-standing belief that Davis has been under close control by his management particularly citing his earlier resistance to face vasili lomachenko the main hole that they have they don't believe in themselves how many times did they say that tank Davis was not ready for LMA that they had to prep him how many times did Mayweather
have to speak for dant tank Davis I'm just speaking facts each our words take it in I beat lomachenko for me I scored a 9 to three for you guys I could care less cuz y don't know [ __ ] about boxing Lopez also spoke of an earlier sparring session he conducted with Davis 11 years ago whereas Davis was already a professional fighter at 18 Lopez was just 15 at the time other than what he described as Davis's aggressive strategies in the ring Lopez acknowledged that not much can be drawn from The Experience not withstanding
these observations Lopez does not minimize davis' skills Davis is no easy opponent he said in a past interview with fight sports but he still believes he is the only one equipped to overcome him take that in I ain't I ain't want to [ __ ] play with I respect it man your truth tank ain't a pushover I guess the only that can really beat tank is me I guess I got to do it nobody else can do the job female heavyweight champion claressa Shields a sworn enemy of dvon Davis surprisingly gave a very balanced prediction
T I mean like he's a bad man he can fight and tough I know we had our dispute back whatever at the end of the day if we talk about just boxing hey absolutely I don't know why everybody's kind of sleeping on Lamont but he has a decorated amateur career too he's a very sturdy kid he's very skilled tank is tank and when I say tank is tank I mean like he's a bad man he can fight he's tough of course you don't expect claressa Shields to forget their feud in a hurry hence she added
I know we had our dispute back and forth or whatever but at the end of the day if we talk about just boxing he's a good fighter and I look forward to watching that fight and I and I look forward to watching that fight is this a Pay-Per-View fight though would you buy it are you going to buy it I I bought any fight that t has had pay-per-view nothing that that when asked if it was worth a Pay-Per-View fight and if she was going to buy the ticket she answered I've always bought any fight
that tank has had on pay-per-view and I think that Lamont Roach is worth watching I think that this fight is going to be very technical very skillful and as always we're going to put the power of tank on display let the best man win this on the other hand Tim Bradley calls it a tank Protection Program he said this dude looks like a total fraud put him in the ring with someone that can punch back this is the tank Protection Program this is been going along for a long time people bringing Fighters up from slower
weight class to get in there with tank tank looks spectacular but it's a cover up bring Fighters up from a lower weight class to get in there with tank tank looks spectacular but it's a cover up I'm going tell you right now I think tank is a good fighter they saying they don't have an opponent for he added I'm going to tell you right now I think tank is a good fighter they're saying that they don't have an opponent for him yes you do his name is Doos Santos and the fans won't mind paying for
a Doos Santos fight but they're covering something I don't know what it is is it the power of deos Santos they're worried about tank was doing a whole lot of talking when Shakur Stevenson put everybody to sleep with Doos Santos but he won't step his behind in the ring and face delos Santos he concluded that's the fight that everybody wants to see nobody's going to pay for this pay-per-view with Lamont Roach people are going to show up because it's dvon Davis but those pay-per-view numbers you're chasing it's going to be a wishing well yes you
do his name is De losantos and the fans would mind paying for Del Los Santos fight but they're covering something I don't know what it is is it the power of delosantos on the other hand the welterweight sensation Kenneth Sims Jr Who has fought against both roach and Davis also shared his views about the fight and stated what these Fighters must do to win the match at first the boss man avoided trying to predict the fight as he was on good terms with both of them Sims felt it would be a bit disrespectful however he
later gave in and spoke about how he and roach shared some wholesome moments during their Nationals when they faced each other in the semifinals definitely a fight that like a great fight for boxing I think that boxing fans are trying to like basically shut the I don't know may maybe because he's not a big name but upon being asked what both of them have to do to win the fight the Illinois resident mentioned how both roach and tank are counter punchers and to win the fight one of them has to come out of their comfort
zone to get the other one to open he also touched upon the fact that javant Davis is a slow starter and it takes time for him to come into the groove tanks starts slow but as the fight goes he is going to pick it up and then he get busy stated Kenneth Sims Jr but to win this fight he will have to go on attacking quite earlier than usual otherwise it might be too late given how fast roach boxes and picks up points early in the fight I'm looking forward to watching the fight do you
think the fact that it is going to be a technical fight do you think that that favors lont or does it favor tank this was a surprising take given how most have simply written off Lamont Roach in his lightweight title debut however when asked what his views on the javant Davis Lamont Roach fight were promoter Eddie Hearn said that roach is a good fighter and that the overall reaction to the fight was unfair following the announcement of the Clash scheduled for December 14th many were surprised by the choice of roach as Davis's opponent of the
dvon Davis Roach fight uh I think that you know he had a lot of criticism but Hearn claims that tank the WBA lightweight champion had no choice but to avoid these Fighters for various reasons Ryan Garcia is suspended Shakur Stevenson is injured Isaac Pitbull Cruz was recently beaten Devin Haney overcome vasili lomachenko made the decision to miss the rest of 2024 I won I won't be um doing doing my uh phases for this one cuz you know we know the family you know yeah that thing tank Davis has the option to fight Eden Deo Santos
Andy Cruz keson Davis and Raymond mirala but none of them are as well known as Lamont Roach there wouldn't be a spike in ppv purchases over tank Davis's choice of roach even if he had chosen one of them and Casual boxers wouldn't know who they are I think the online reaction is a little bit unfair Lamont Roach is a good Fighter the problem is no one knows who he is and with tanks position in the sport people want him in big fights and it's not a big fight if you know you're boxing you know it's
a good fight he's a super featherweight but what were the available options for tank really Eddie Hearn said in an interview with fight Hub TV not a bad fight you know Lon roach she's a a world champion he's smaller than javante Davis the problem is not many people are aware of of who he is or or his abilities but he the outcry has been sparked by more than just the fact that nobody knows who roach is but boxing enthusiasts who are sure roach is incapable although this is a difficult fight for roach 29 it is
an opportunity for him to elevate his career as he will face one of boxing's biggest names he is a skilled and crafty fighter with a strong chin and if he can capitalize on Davis's tendency to start slow there is a slim chance he can make the fight competitive and secure an early Victory I see a nice competitive fight nice competitive fight yeah um uh he he's not going to fight while Davis remains a massive draw in boxing the fight has left some fans underwhelmed hoping for a more Marky matchup against top contenders in his weight
[Music] class but boxing is a game of shockers isn't it interestingly Lamont Roach is gearing himself up for the biggest moment of his career he wants more than just a big payday from javant [Applause] Davis he wants dvon Davis's belt he wants revenge and his training camp experience is bringing him closer to that every day what's even crazier and might be more fearful for dvon Davis is the tragedy that characterizes Lamont roach's training experience which would always be a part of him as long as he fights the loss of his coach some years ago even
dant Davis knows it's hard to defeat someone who has a resin to fight for or one fighting from the place of pain think of Buster Douglas who had just lost his mother when he became the unlikely winner against Mike Tyson over 30 years [Applause] ago although Lopez has not stated a specific fight date he has indicated at another potential weight increase Davis is supposed to make a comeback to the ring in December in Washington maybe facing Lamont Roach the super featherweight Champion the former featherweight Champion Russell says WBA regular lightweight champion tank Davis is bamboozling
the public the right opponent or that Lamont's not going to present a challenge it ain't no perception y'all know what it is man tank picking a choosing um I always say it picking and choosing weak opposition instead of the fighters that fans want to see him this is done to ensure that tank doesn't get beaten tank Davis has been holding the secondary World Boxing Association lightweight belt for ages which has kept him protected from having to fight the dangers that he would have to face if he held the main title Russell doesn't think too much
of Tank's latest choice of opponent Lamont Roach who was dug up from the super featherweight division ain't nothing personal but at some point tank got to take a personal if I'm saying I think you a [ __ ] cuz you fight somebody that's really not a dog that's really he claimed tank has been fighting a lot of people that fans don't want to see him fight anyway I could have seen that coming said Gary Russell Jr to fight hype reacting to dvon Davis handpicking Lamont Roach from the super featherweight division rather than selecting a lightweight
dvon has been fighting opposition that fans had no interest in seeing for his 11-year career the only instance where he fought someone that fans wanted to see was when he fought Ryan Garcia and that was considered a mismatch whatever chance Ryan had of winning tanks weight stipulations that he was stuck in the contract drained it right out of him I'm not going to now don't get me wrong I don't want to discredit Lamont Roach I know Lamont Roach he's a good guy you know what I'm saying I know his father they all cool you know
what I'm saying but I don't think he can do that for much longer I believe the fans as well as the media networks like yourself that have the platform and have the ability to push Russell said when asked how much longer tank Davis can get away with cherry picking weak opposition the way he's been doing his entire 11-year career tank will likely get away with soft opposition up until he retires because he doesn't bring in large ppv numbers and he's got a loyal following they don't care if he doesn't fight great opposition because many of
them don't know anything about the sport as far as they're concerned Lamont Roach is Elite however fighting the kind of opposition that tank is face since he turned Pro in 2013 will Doom him to lower ppv numbers for the remainder of his career I think it's levels to it's levels to everything don't think that you're fighting someone from the area and make it seem like it's Baltimore versus something he's never going to be someone who brings in 1 million buys because he's not fighting the opposition that people want to see y'all are the ones who
are being Bamboozled y'all want to see the best compete against the best and the people that y'all feel as though are the best they're not trying to compete against the best said Russell they'd rather fight someone that y'all don't even know y'all never heard of them if Tank's management cared about matching him against the best he would be scheduled to fight Edwin de los Santos on December 14 not Lamont Roach he would have fought vasel lomachenko in 2017 when he was first called out by him that dog from the earth cuz that dog from the
ear right here everybody know that you know what I'm saying so it is what it is my everybody is like damn why is he fighting this person nah that stuff is too difficult for them your favorite Fighters are suckers out here that's a fact a period on that it ain't no perception tank is picking and choosing I always say it ain't nothing personal but tank got to take it personally if I'm saying I think you're a wimp because you're fighting someone that's not a dog I don't want to discredit Lamont Roach I know Lamont Roach
he's a good guy I know his father they're all cool but there are levels to everything don't think that you're fighting someone from the area and making it seem like it's Baltimore versus some dog from the area going to choos at some point w this Pride W ego W this Integrity kicks in and say [ __ ] it I really do want to see am I as good as I really think I am I want to he then continued he's picking and choosing at some point when does pride when does ego when does integrity kick
in and say I really do want to see if I am as good as I really think I am I want to try to do better where is that in the sport today if they're both 100% % healthy I don't think Lamont has a chance of winning this fight in my personal opinion I don't think Lamont is going to win the fight it'll be interesting in the beginning half of the fight in the latter half of the fight tank is going to start walking him down and start touching him KO or TKO one of the
two said Russell Jr on the outcome of the tank versus Roach fight it'll be a money grab type of thing for Lamont he'll get a little money but it's not the career defining stuff tank fighting Lamont Roach is not a career defining fight it's not a fight where people will think that he's at risk or Lamont is a threat to him from a boxing standpoint what makes tank tank we see the power but it's got to be more than that n he's he's strategic he's setting guys up he been boxing since a little kid just
like this fight is shaping up to be a technical bout with a sensational undercard both of them are strong and though tank is an astoundingly heavy favorite experts and boxers are still not counting out Lamont Roach completely ahead of the fight fight hype sat down with Richards Hitchens and Kenneth Sims Jr to know their views regarding the fight and their answers might surprise you fight hype asked The Undefeated super lightweight Hitchens about the history between him and the two fighters and what everyone can expect from their fight the New York resident talked about the similarities
between tank and roach and advised the fans to not take the ladder lightly Hitchens was sure that the 25 one boxer would stun everyone and it would be a brilliant fight not years ago I want to say like 2016 17 years ago um I think it's a I think it's a great fight you know because y not um this guy Lamont Roach Lamont came up in the same type of environment as tank they both got a lot of similarities I think a lot of people are riding Lamont off because of loss against Jamal Haring but
he has shown consistency over the years stated Hitchens while talking about how roach has turned his career around since the loss against herring in 2019 the 180 boxer then promised the fight to be a technical feat in that even he was looking forward to the fight while talking about who will have the upper hand in a technical fight Richardson Hitchens stated it is going to be a great technical fight tank is a defensive genius he knows how to protect himself and knows ways to maneuver he he he came up in that same type of like
environment as tank you know they both are DMV Fighters they both um they both School kind of they both got it he further stated that if the fight gets dragged to later rounds tank will have a clear Advantage because of is near Perfect Defense according to Hitchens roach should try to finish the fight early because if it comes to the later rounds there is a high chance that Davis will drag the fight to his Pace to get the desired result while defending roach as a capable opponent for dvon Davis Hitchens added it's not just like
tank is just picking out a bum Lamont probably knows how to fight more than a lot of guys tank fought kind of like a lot of s similarities they both box each other numerous times and I think that a lot of people ride in off because of his one loss with um Jamal har on the other hand the welterweight sensation Kenneth Sims Jr Who has fought against both roach and Davis also shared his views about the fight and stated what these Fighters must do to win the match at first the boss man avoided trying to
predict the fight as he was on good terms with both of them Sims felt it would be a bit disrespectful and that's all for now for the very best updates on news moments events and actions in the world of boxing stay connected with us by subscribing to our YouTube yoube Channel and don't forget to turn on notifications to get notified when we drop quality contents like this until next time peace out
