In a surprising turn of events, Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Lamont Roach Jr. fought to a majority draw in their lightweight showdown, marking the first time Davis has failed to secure a victory in his career.

The fight, held in Brooklyn, New York, was expected to be another title defense for Davis, but the outcome left both fighters and the crowd stunned.

Controversial Scoring Raises Eyebrows

The fight was scored by three judges, with one scoring in favor of Davis by two points.

However, the other two judges scored the bout evenly at 114-114, leading to the majority draw.

The decision was met with mixed reactions from the audience, who had expected Davis to win, as well as from the fighters themselves, who were shocked by the controversial outcome.

Key Moments in the Fight

A defining moment came in the ninth round when Davis, the reigning champion, found himself on one knee after a near knockdown, though the official ruled it otherwise.

Despite the setback, Davis managed to keep his composure, but the event became a pivotal point in the match.

Possible Rematch on the Horizon

After the fight, both Davis and Roach expressed their interest in a rematch, with both fighters making it clear they felt they deserved the win.

With tensions running high, a second bout between the two seems likely, and it could take place closer to their hometowns, which are just a short distance apart.

What’s Next for Davis and Roach?

Many expected Roach to be a stepping stone for Davis, with talks already circulating about a much-anticipated match against Shakur Stevenson later in 2025.

However, the unexpected draw has now thrown a wrench into those plans, and fans are eager to see what will come next for both boxers.
