Lamont Roach said on social media that, after beating Gervonta Davis in their Rematch, he would go up two divisions to the winner of the November match between WBO welterweight champion Brian Norman Jr. And Devin Haney, to stand.
Devin Haney laughs from Roach
Roach’s remark is laughing and confusion by Haney (32-0, 15 COs). It is not a fight on which he would focus if he were against Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 CO’s) would not overcome. He is likely to focus on the biggest money fight available, which would be a re -broadcast with Ryan Garcia or a collision against Theofimo Lopez.
“After I beat Tank, I fight the winner of Devin Haney and Brian Norman. There you go. I’m not going to say that again, ‘says Lamont Roach on social media. “You can cut it, you can do everything. That’s what I do. You’ve heard it here first. ‘
Roach doesn’t have power, fan appeal
Turki Alalshikh has not yet mentioned who he wants the winner of the Haney-Norman Jr. fight, but he is unlikely to focus on using Roach as the opponent. He is not known enough for comfortable boxing fans, and his defensive fighting style would make it boring to look at. He has no power at 135, and he would completely against a large puncher like Norman Jr. At 147 be too much.
It would not be to watch Roach by Norman Jr. Because he would not have been able to show up the punishment his last opponent, Jin Sasaki, before he was stopped. Roach would cave almost immediately, and fans would feel ripped off if the opportunity was sold on PPV.
Roach (25-1-2, 10 costs) and WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis will fight for a re-broadcast in August. In their previous fight on March 1, they fought to a 12 round. Many fans felt that Roach had been robbed of a win. There was the knee incident in round nine in which the tank took a knee after being beaten with a stitch of Roach.
Davis then walked to his corner without asking a time -out from the referee to have fat removed from his eyes. This should have led to a point deduction due to Davis who took a knee. The referee lost control of the situation. The scores were 114-114, 115-113 for tank and 114-113.
