Roach denied victory over a controversial draw, the referee the Knockdown creates anger

Lamont Roach (25-1-2, 10 KO) says he should have won the fight against the light champion of the WBA, Gervonta Davis (30-0-1, 28 kos) on Saturday night and that the referee had made the right call to the ninth when a knee was taken after hitting it with a punch at the center of Barclays de Brooklyn, New York.

Many social media fans felt Roach won, and they had never seen Tank seemed so bad. Inactivity, weak curriculum and he overlooking Roach may have it.

Roach says he did not trust the defeat because he won because he thought he had done more than enough to win the decision. The judges marked him a 12-round draw for the score 15-113 for Tank, 114-114 and 114-114. It certainly seemed that Roach had won the struggle even with the referee blowing the call to the ninth.

“I thought I should have won without being counted as a defeat,” Lamont Roach said to the mediaSpeaking of the referee’s blowing call, who chose not to give him a credit for leaving Gervonta Davis in the ninth round when a knee was taken.

It obviously helps tank Davis to be the superstar in this struggle and the one that exhausted the center of Barclays. If the referee had made the right call to the ninth, he would be wrapping things for a popular money maker.

“If I had to clean the sweat of the eyes, I had to clean the sweat of the eyes. But the rules claim that if they voluntarily take a knee, it is an automatic number of eight. He did not trust it. He trusted what he was doing there,” Roach said about Davis’s tank.

“I was taking control, I was landing more shots and I was landing more shots of power. I thought I did my things. So I am not so frustrated because of it, but if it was counted as a tie, I would have made a major decision.

“You saw me in the ring saying,“ Do you still count? “I was like:” Why did you stop? You keep counting, “Roach said about how he did not understand why the referee stopped counting after Davis put a knee in the ninth.” Honestly, I don’t know (why the referee did not govern it). “
