On The Watch “It’s All About Gervonta Davis vs Lamont Roach”

WBA Lightweight Showdown

Undefeated WBA Lightweight Champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis (30-0, 28 Kos) will be looking to defend his Championship Belt against WBA Super Featherweight Champion Lamont Roach (25-1-1, 10 Kos), who will be moving up in weight to attempt to dethrone “Tank” on Saturday night March 1, 2025, on PBC on Prime Video PPV at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Real Talk! Peeps in the boxing community aren’t looking too impressed with this match up but I personally think it might be interesting to see how it goes down considering the two combatants have history dating back to the amateur days.

Lamont may be the clear underdog in this bout but Dude can fight and definitely got the skills to hang with the best of them on any given night. Yet, the main question remains: will he have the right “game plan” to prevent “Tank” from having his way with him inside that squared circle?

We all know too well what “Tank” brings every time out. While each of his past opponents have banked on him starting slow, “Tank” and his exceptional skill set equipped with that equalizer, haven’t failed him yet.

Lamont will seize this opportunity and try to prove Gervonta and the naysayers wrong but truth be told, I think it’s going to take a lot more than a bag of tricks to derail this “Tank”.

That being said, tune in Saturday night March 1, 2025, on PBC on Prime Video PPV at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and witness the showdown unfold.

On The Watch “It’s All About Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia”

Junior Welterweight Showdown

The promotional build up to this bout was quite awkward but last night’s Golden Boy/DAZN Main Event at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, between WBC Junior Welterweight Champion Devin Haney (31-1, 15 Kos) and Ryan Garcia (25-1, 20 Kos) definitely surpassed my expectations. Real Talk!

Ryan the underdog came out the gate with some serious aggression and rocked Devin with a serious left hook that dictated what was to come. Ryan’s power was quite evident but Devin regrouped and started using his boxing to survive the round.

As the rounds progressed Devin continued to box as expected while Ryan remained calm, waiting for the counterpunch to present itself. Both combatants showed no fear but the power punches were coming from Ryan whenever he let his hands go.

You could see Devin getting into his comfort zone inside that squared circle as the rounds were advancing but Ryan’s confidence never wavered, looking like an animal stalking his prey.

By the 7th round Devin fell asleep at the wheel and got caught with a mean left hook that dropped him, giving him his first standing 8 count in the professional ranks. Ryan had Devin on full survival mode clinching on Ryan for dear life.

The action picked up in the proceeding rounds with both combatants going back and forth but Ryan’s power punches and speed was clearly becoming a factor.

Devin’s defense wasn’t looking as tight as usual because Ryan’s left hand was “Money” and cashed in heavily once again knocking Devin down in the 10th round and the 11th round whenever he landed. Ryan’s equalizer secured the bout for me on this night. Devin could not stand up to Ryan’s power but truth be told he didn’t stay down. Real Talk!

After 12 completed action packed rounds, the Judges at hand called it 115-109, 114-110 and 112-112, giving the majority decision to “KingRy”. The Judge who scored it 112-112 is straight out of pocket for that score card but the right man definitely won this bout. Hands Down!

Due to the fact that Ryan missed the 140-Pound weight limit by 3.2 pounds, Devin remains the WBC Junior Welterweight Champion in defeat.

Belt or no Belt, Garcia proved the naysayers wrong and shocked the Boxing World last night by picking up his biggest win in his professional career to date.

Well done, Ryan, you definitely impressed me with this one!
