he almost hit you but I knew for sure that wasn't going to be enough to beat me it's cool it's it's all right I don't really think too much of it a you're not going to hurt me this is not aont roach but a fighter can do everything in the gym man dant tank Davis is deeply disappointed as Floyd Mayweather is rumored to be training Lamont Roach Davis reacts with frustration feeling betrayed by his former mentor's decision to support another fighter over him he almost hit you I know what on though I go that way
for a reason how was the girl record Lamont roach's training footage is looking incredibly sharp his speed footwork and technique are on point and he is showing impressive Improvement every punch is crisp and his movement looks fluid fans are buzzing about his potential especially with Floyd Mayweather guiding him this training is proving roach is ready for bigger challenges Lamont Roach has confidently shared details of his training regimen asserting that he is fully prepared for his upcoming bout he emphasized his comprehensive skill set stating I've got the whole package this declaration showcases his self assurance and
Readiness to face any challenge in the ring 30 people knocked out what 28 of them right what makes you different he he probably can answer that question he probably can answer that question but it's it's the skill the will of I got the whole package man I ain't going to lie to you um I'm not sitting there waiting get hit by nobody especially you know especially know somebody supposed to be a power puncher that's evidently a power puncher uh I got I got too much I got too much for me to go out like that
not saying he don't but I can't like if anything I'm trying to flip it around I'm trying to make it like make it like flip the narrative like I'm the one in in a surprising move Floyd Mayweather has reportedly been seen training with Lamar Mont roach a development that has raised eyebrows in the boxing Community this isn't the first instance of Mayweather aligning with Davis's opponents leading to speculation about his motivations he almost hit you I know we going I going for reason I wish record I wish record this recent collaboration isn't unprecedented previously Mayweather
extended his expertise to Frank Martin aiding him in preparation to face javant Davis such actions have significant implications as Mayweather's intimate knowledge of Davis's strategies and techniques could provide a substantial advantage to his opponents young Fighters he loves to embrace guys so what was being around talking to Floyd like what Floyd you about fighting and has it made you a better fighter cuz he could tell me all day to do that [ __ ] he does I couldn't do it yeah you know what I'm saying like what what is been around a GU like Floyd
do for you he could tell you go run at 2:00 in the morning you know go do it when cuz cuz n out of 10 we know your opponent sleep at that time so go run at 2 in the morning and go get yourself a mental Edge you know like cuz you know you out there working every night at 2: in the morning running that's a lot of the times your opponent sleep you know it could be it could be little things that'll take you to the Next Level you know that Floyd a person like
Floyd like if he tell you that you going to take a lot of heave to it and you going it's going to give you a different type of motivation when you doing it he can show you something you know and and it could be the same thing you know you might not be able to do it like him but just it coming from him it'll give you like a different type of like feel about yourself you know he the one told Frank that I was running at 5:00 I me :00 in the morning Friday he
told Frank that he was giving Frank tips and stuff like that but I knew for sure that wasn't going to be enough to beat it's cool it's it's all right I don't really think too much of it a he not going to hurt me you know what I mean so it's it's good to beef with him then be cool with him cuz he can do some crazy stuff he picturing bad situations Calvin Ford is longtime trainer weighed in on the situation involving Frank Martin he remarked that's how the true colors of a person come out
Ford's statement suggests a sense of betrayal and disappointment highlighting the complexities of relationships within the boxing World another thing I want to touch on is the Floyd situation you know Floyd is Floyd that's like I say tank is Tank Man but at the end of the day you know the man is chasing greatness and you should be supporting that I always tell you that you should be be supporting that you know it's a rocky road that we seeing what's going on just pay attention man the story is going to reveal their self you know but
again that's how you burn brises uh somebody said they say the true colors of a person that's coming out man they can't stand it you know Comm is I I I don't like using that word comm you know but our Lord knows he knows he knows he knows jant tank Davis has expressed his feelings regarding maywe 's actions he pointed out that the public is unaware of Mayweather's behind the-scenes Maneuvers and comments Davis confidently stated that he aims to surpass Mayweather's Legacy at a younger age implying that this ambition might be unsettling to Mayweather he
speculated that this could be a reason behind Mayweather training his opponents possibly in an attempt to undermine his success people don't know that what Floyd do a lot of people don't know what Floyd everything that Floyd said right there the Chrome hob bed the the uh mayback the lwy [ __ ] that was all in my post oh that was you posted that you posted that oh wow Chrome bag right ly [ __ ] mayback oh he s so you feel like it was a sub like he was subbing you like oh like he that
he was going at me he was going at me and I knew for sure he was going at me that's why I went at him it's no reason for me to go at Floyd Floyd don't never he feel as though I'm about to I'm about to I'm at that point where as though I pass him and I and I'm doing it at a young age wait like when Floyd was uh 29 you'll see bro yeah that deal that I'm talking about yeah oh that's deal he he don't know about that yet but that's bigger than
his deal damn historically Floyd Mayweather has shown a keen interest in mentoring upand cominging boxers he has been particularly supportive of gervon Davis from the outset of his career offering guidance and sharing his wealth of experience Mayweather's commitment to nurturing young Talent has been evident through his actions and mentorship do you will come back to box oh no no no I I'm not coming to I'm not coming back to the sport of boxing uh sport of boxing was good to me I was able to make uh a lot of smart smart Investments on the outside
and I just want to help you know like I said the fighters that's up and coming you know um like I like I was talking about like javante tank Davids um I don't understand why he's not in a top 10 pound-for-pound uh Terence Crawford uh Errol Spence benitz the list goes on on there's so many so many tough tough Fighters out there so many uh great young champions out there that I'm proud of throughout his career javant Davis has consistently expressed respect for Floyd Mayweather when questioned about the possibility of facing Mayweather in the Ring
Davis would often laugh off the idea emphasizing that his skills are not on par with Mayweathers this humility underscores the Deep respect he holds for his former mentor how would you fight Floyd in his prime like if you were to fight Floyd like in his if you guys were both in the yeah don't fight him I wouldn't fight him I mean Floyd was good he was he was he was top TI I mean me I feel as though I can compete with any top top fighter I'm not saying me going at Floyd but I'm saying
like I feel as though my skills I feel like my skills and not to take n from Floyd but I feel like my top my skills can compete with anybody that ever Lac up a boxing glove you're crazy to watch bro Floyd Mayweather has gone beyond mentorship extending his generosity to Davis intangible ways he has gifted Davis luxury items including a Jeep symbolizing his support and investment in Davis's success these gestures have been indicative of a close bond between the two I was out eating so he caught me he always told me he was going
to give me a car stuff like that give me a place and all that but um he had a lot going on you know and I wasn't rushing him cuz I knew he had a lot going on so this particular day he just called me I was out eating so he called me was like I'm about to have someone to pick you up uh just be ready so I was um I was out eating so I was like okay I'm I'm ready now so he they came pick me up then he took me to the
dealership so uh so um he he let me T drive this and he also let me test drive um a charger the charger was too fast and he was like everybody at the gym would have them that's true they do yeah he was like uh we want to get you something different so well you're from Baltimore you need a Jeep on the streets of Baltimore I've watch the news yeah what do they say back home when everybody saw the story that Floyd Mayweather bought you a very expensive car um not only that he bought me
my expensive car he just he he took me in took you interest in you in your career yeah yeah as a as a a fighter also as a you know Floyd old enough to be my son so I wouldn't say a big brother so he like a father figure and stuff like that he took me in you know he been treating me good since I know him you know he been uh not only in the boxing like working with me on boxing he he showed me like the business side and all that type stuff and
he he he showed me a lot and I appreciate him and I love him forever for that despite the support there have been moments where Davis felt constrained by Mayweather's influence Mayweather's constant advice and guidance while well-intentioned sometimes made Davis feel controlled Leonard ellerby former CEO of Mayweather promotions clarified that Davis is not contractually bound to Mayweather promotions emphasizing that relationships in boxing are not solely defined by contracts like some confusion is tank a Mayweather promotions fighter still is he not what is his kind of still his involvement with Mayweather promotions or is it just
all still PBC Al Heyman yeah tank is not signed to Mayweather promotion he's not signed Mayweather promotion his contract ran out and that's fine but as I always say contracts don't Define relationships Floyd Mayweather has often spoken about his role in building gervon Davis's career while his contributions have been significant these statements have occasionally triggered feelings of resentment in Davis who desires recognition for his own efforts and achievements in the sport the relationship between Floyd Mayweather and gervon Davis has been fraught with tension recent developments have exacerbated these issues with Mayweather openly advising against Davis
taking the fight against Lamont Roach this public descent has added another layer of complexity to their already strained relationship all right hey guys Adriana Jimenez join here with two time and current WBA super featherweight Champion javante tank Davis Dante just a couple days away from headlining your first US base card against ugar re uh originally against abnar who we wish a speedy recovery um how excited are you to get inside the ring and give us a great show um very excited you know just to be back you know um just you know just to be

wants to knock you out uh but you know we know that you're very confident in what you bring what kind of uh fight can we expect uh action-packed fight you know uh um off of what he's saying you know he's saying that he coming in to knock me out so he have to bring action you know to uh to do that so um I'm ready uh training camp been going great dant tank Davis has a major fight coming up in two weeks at the Barkley Center in Brooklyn New York against Lamont Roach the 130 lbs
WBA Champion for the 135 lb WBA Championship Davis tweeted this is greatness don't let anybody fool you or convince you otherwise critics often question his opponents and accomplishments but this is common in boxing despite the skepticism true greatness is recognized over time through consistent victories and dominance in the sport just as tank aims to prove hey hey get God Dam tank Davis's coach Kenny Ellis believes Lamont roach's intense training won't guarantee success in the ring he acknowledges that roach is working hard in the gym but emphasizes that true toughness comes from within Fighters can train
P perfectly running miles dieting and conditioning but the real test is whether they can handle the pain in a fight Ellis explains that gym fatigue is different from fight pain under the bright lights when a fighter gets rocked their Vision blurs and their body takes damage only those with the right DNA can endure it he stresses that true Warriors must be willing to take that punishment this fight March first um I I see Lamont working out a lot in the gym with his uh with his father with a whole bunch of coaches up in Florida
um do you see a a different Lamont Roach coming into this fight no I don't don't it's I tell people all the time no offense no this is not aont roach but a fighter can do everything in the gym man they can they can do they pushup they pups they can run 10 miles a day they can eat their diet they can change their diet they can do everything right but it have to be in your DNA to take pain what I'm saying are you willing and able to take the pain that come with this
[ __ ] that's for any fighter you know right and that's difference in a lot of the fights you gotta be will to take the pain to come with it now um in the actual fight not the training in the actual fight in the actual fight what's the what's the difference between you know the pain inside the gym gearing up to the fight versus the lights and you know being on Showtime not the workout pain muscle sore fatigue that's different but they prepar you for those lights that that that pain in in the actual fight
man with when [ __ ] get rattled your eggs get scrambled your eyes get blurry [ __ ] mouth and nose get [ __ ] up you know a little bit of everything body shots you just got to be to take the pain and come with it you know getting equilibrium shook every other round Sports commentator Stephen A Smith has weighed in on the matchup between Lamont Roach and gervon Davis he believes that roach may be undersized compared to Davis suggesting that this could be a disadvantage for roach in the ring and lastly Stephen a
last name I of course want to throw your way is javante Davis I know you you you believe in his skills I do what do you think of his fight with roach oh sorry go ahead I think roach is too small uhhuh I think roach is too small um and and that's my issue I'm not questioning the skill set or anything like that um but it was similar to Frank Martin you know I mean this guy comes in there and you got 18 fights and I remember watching that pre-fight press conference when he was annoying
uh javante Davis so much and he cussed by accident excuse me he cussed by accident he was like oh you know making this up he hurt me and sparring and you know and and and I knew gon was going to come for him and sure enough that's what he did walked right towards him from round one on um but you know I remember what he said and it really really struck me Devon is a smart dude bro and he said you you should really really should have waited you don't have enough experience you really really
should have waited and took your time before you came to me and that's what javante Davis told him and um he was right he was absolutely positively right and so now here we are him fighting this cat roach and I'm like isn't this dude a light you know like Junior lightweight super featherweight moving up to lightweight no there's no see to that bothers me the reason why that bothers me is because javante is too great and too skilled to be fighting dudes smaller than him javante Davis can knock out welterweights he probably could knock out
a couple of middleweights okay Smith's analysis highlights the physical disparities that could influence the fights outcome former world champion Mikey Garcia has lauded gervon Davis for his extensive experience and versatility Garcia noted that Davis has faced a variety of fighting styles throughout his career dubbing him a beast in the ring he expressed confidence that Davis's experience and reputation would likely lead him to Victory against Lamont Roach the boxing Community holds varied opinions on Lamont roach's decision to challenge dervon Davis some believe that engaging in trash talk against Davis could backfire as it might fuel Davis's
motivation to prove himself in the ring the consensus is that roach's approach could lead to a knockout defeat given Davis's track record and a response to provocation what do you make of that fight tank versus Roach who do you think wins no uh honestly uh I I think I think tank is is one of the very best uh Fighters uh definitely in the in the lightweight division um I don't I don't think uh roach will be a huge threat for for tank tank is very talented very skilled and and also very experienced at this point
now he's F and seen pretty much every style there is and he his power is is is tremendous where he has that knockout punching power and he's got the confidence to do it and you just see his demeanor he's just confident he knows he's going to you know go out there and execute and so it's hard to go against tank yeah um again not to disrespect his opponent roach but I think tank is is a beast and he's been ring it every fight he probably will win this fight as well uh again it's it's hard
to say and go against the tank he's proving himself that's it for today's video stay tuned until next time
