LEAKED VIDEO Of Gervonta Davis ARGUING With Coach Calvin Ford During Lamont Roach Fight

 A shocking leak has surfaced in the boxing world, revealing a heated mid-fight argument between Gervonta “Tank” Davis and his longtime coach, Calvin Ford, during his controversial majority draw against Lamont Roach Jr. on March 1, 2025, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The 2-minute, 45-second video, obtained by *The Ring* and shared on X late Tuesday night, captures Davis and Ford clashing over strategy and the ninth-round knee incident that has dominated headlines, raising questions about Davis’ focus, Ford’s leadership, and the integrity of the fight. The leak, tagged with #DavisFordLeak, has gone viral, amassing over 4 million views and sparking a firestorm of speculation.

The video, reportedly recorded by a ringside camera’s accidental live feed and later leaked to an anonymous X account, begins in the eighth round, with Davis, 30, breathing heavily and looking frustrated in his corner. “Cal, I can’t see, man—this grease is messin’ me up!” Davis snaps, referencing the grease from his braids he later cited as burning his eyes. Ford, 59, responds firmly, “Focus, Tank! You’re lettin’ Roach get in your head—stick to the jab, don’t panic!” But the tension escalates as Davis retorts, “I’m tryin’, but you ain’t callin’ it right! I need to take a break—I’m blind out here!”

By the ninth round, the argument reaches a boiling point. As Davis takes a knee, claiming an eye injury, Ford can be seen gesturing wildly in the corner, shouting, “Get up, Tank! Don’t give him this round—push through it!” Davis fires back, visibly agitated, “Man, I can’t see! You want me to get knocked out? I’m doin’ what I gotta do!” Ford’s voice grows louder, “You’re throwin’ the fight away—Roach is winnin’ if you don’t move! Ref’s watchin’, don’t play games!” The video ends abruptly as the bell rings, offering a rare, visual glimpse of discord between Davis and Ford, who have been inseparable since Davis’ amateur days.

The leak has sent shockwaves through the boxing community, with fans on X divided over its implications. #DavisFordLeak is trending alongside #RoachRobbed, with some suggesting Davis’ eye injury was exaggerated to avoid Roach’s momentum, while others defend his decision as a tactical move. “This video proves Tank was panicking—Ford’s right, he threw the fight,” tweeted @BoxingTruth2025, while @TankNation2023 countered, “Tank’s human, and Ford’s pushing too hard. The grease was real—watch the man!”

Ford, reached for comment by *ESPN* Wednesday morning, denied any rift, saying, “Tank and I have a bond stronger than this video suggests. He was frustrated, I was pushin’ him—it’s what we do. The grease was real, and we handled it the best we could.” Davis, however, has remained silent, focusing on training for a potential rematch with Roach, but his team issued a statement through Mayweather Promotions: “This leak is a violation of privacy and context. Tank’s vision was compromised, and Calvin was guiding him through a tough moment. We stand united.”

The video’s timing is particularly explosive, coming as the New York State Athletic Commission (NYSAC) reviews referee Steve Willis’ controversial ninth-round non-call, which preserved Davis’ draw (115-113, 114-114, 114-114) and title retention. Many, including Roach’s camp, argue Willis should have ruled Davis’ knee a knockdown, a decision that could have handed Roach, now 25-1-2, a split decision victory and the WBA lightweight title. CompuBox stats show Roach outlanding Davis 112-103, adding fuel to the fire.

Roach’s trainer, Calvin Ford (coincidentally sharing the same name as Davis’ coach), seized on the leak, telling *The Ring*, “This video shows Tank was losing it—Ford knew it, and so did the ref. They protected him, not me. Lamont deserved that win, and this proves it.” Roach himself posted on X, “Saw the video. Tank’s own coach knew he was slipping—time for a rematch to set things right. #RoachJustice.”

Analysts like Timothy Bradley on *SportsCenter* called the leak “a game-changer,” saying, “This video exposes the pressure Davis was under and Ford’s frustration. If the NYSAC sees this, it could sway their review—Willis’ call looks even worse now.” Others, including Deontay Wilder, tweeted, “Davis and Ford arguing mid-fight? That’s rare—shows how close Roach came to ending Tank’s reign.”

The WBA, which oversees the lightweight title, has not commented on the leak but reiterated its defense of Willis’ decision, stating, “We see no evidence of favoritism—Willis acted to ensure fighter safety.” However, WBA president Gilberto Mendoza’s call for a rematch contrasts with the organization’s stance, deepening the controversy.

As the NYSAC’s investigation continues, with no timeline set, the leaked video has supercharged the Davis-Roach saga, raising questions about Davis’ focus, Ford’s leadership, and the fight’s integrity. Posts on X continue to flood in, with #DavisFordLeak reaching over 6 million interactions. This shocking revelation could force a rematch or even a title strip, leaving the lightweight division on edge.

Stay tuned for updates on X under #DavisFordLeak, as this explosive leak could redefine the outcome of one of 2025’s most contentious fights.
