Now that the dust has really settled on March 1st’s big fight with Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, Lamont Roach has taken stock.
Although the result didn’t go his way on the night and a draw was the result, a majority one, his stock increased ten fold at the least.
It was a great fight, many fans thought he won and the rematch soon will likely be three times bigger than the first fight was in terms of interest from boxing and sports fans too (not only in America).
Speaking on it all in the cold light of day Lamont Roach said on Instagram:
“March 1st was crazy! I appreciate everyone who was apart of this night even the haters. First I want to thank God, without him none of this is possible. I want to thank the ones who truly believed in me from the start and most of them was my family fasho. Thank you to all my sponsors your support was greatly appreciated. Last but definitely not least thank you to my team, my trainers, my dad, Robert & Gary. We put this s*** together and executed exactly how we drew it out! Even tho I ain’t get the results i deserved, I was the other half of a sellout crowd that broke the record for highest grossing event in the history of the Barclays center. AND I showed that I was a pound for pound talent against a generational star in the sport. I was born a star but March 1st a star was finally under the microscope of the world! I can’t wait to run it back and put on a show again! #Belt2A** part two OTW”
He is a class act and the above is not a surprise.
He will come back stronger as always and so will Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis too.
Don’t discount much more motivation from Davis in the second fight, either.
That makes for an outstanding rematch soon, roll on.
