Russell (17-1, 17 KOs) of Capitol Heights, MD makes his first attempt to land one of the four major belts.
The Tank vs Roach post-fight press conference starts at approximately 3:00 am ET on March 2.
I’m not mad at the decision. I might have even leaned a little more toward a Roach victory after Davis took a knee. Even though it wasn’t a knock down the ref was still supposed to count it as one and that should have been a 10/8 round.
Good fight, I honestly think Tank lost this one. Punch count & power punch percentage. Tank took a knee. If Floyd Mayweather was in his corner, that bever would have happened. He should’ve took an L…
That’s a knockdown and a 10 8 round for roach witch would have put him over the top for a victory
Good fight
My take is that tank obviously lost the fight, the first two rounds were a joke… I think that the under card fights were much better fight then the Tank vs Rouch fight, there was only 3 rounds of action in the main event.
Big props to LR he stood toe to toe in the center of the ring for ALL 12 Rounds. LR was underestimated by many but the young man had That look in his eyes, I Applaud him for an outstanding performance and he should pat himself on the back, That’s the man to keep eyes on right now.
You cannot never win a fight against Davis, pitbull beat him & now Roach all because he is a drawing crowd and the ref would not call him out. Mayweather is the same he could do no wrong in the ring.
