'Tank' wins controversial draw at Barclays
Briefly

Gervonta "Tank" Davis faced Lamont Roach in an intense bout at the Barclays Center, resulting in a contentious majority draw. The fight featured a pivotal moment where Davis took a knee, attributed to grease in his hair affecting his vision, which many, including Roach, argued should have been counted as a knockdown. Despite the heated atmosphere and a record crowd, Davis acknowledged Roach’s capabilities, suggesting that a rematch could be on the horizon given the controversy surrounding the scoring, which ended at 115-113, 114-114, and 114-114.
It should have been a knockdown. If that was knockdown, I win the fight; he's saying grease got in his eye, but it should still count.
I made it competitive, to be honest. For sure, Lamont is a great fighter. It was a lesson learned. Shout out to Lamont Roach.
