Controversy Erupts as Tank’s Trainer Admits Fight Against Lamont Roach Jr. Was Rigged

The boxing world is in shock after explosive revelations surfaced regarding Gervonta “Tank” Davis’ controversial fight against Lamont Roach Jr. Allegations of biased officiating, rigged decisions, and pre-planned rematch negotiations have left fans questioning the integrity of the sport.

A Rigged Fight to Protect Tank’s Record?

In a stunning admission, Tank’s own trainer reportedly confessed that the fight was manipulated to protect Davis’ undefeated record. This revelation comes after widespread criticism over the referee’s handling of the match, particularly in the ninth round.

During that round, Roach seemingly scored a clean knockdown, but the referee refused to count it—an action that could have significantly altered the fight’s outcome. Many boxing experts and fans claim Roach was unfairly denied a legitimate victory.

Tank’s “Grease” Excuse Debunked

Davis later argued that he took a knee because grease from his hair made him slip, dismissing claims that Roach’s power had anything to do with it. However, his own hairstylist publicly denied using any grease, further fueling suspicions.

Adding to the controversy, Tank’s trainer later admitted that the knockdown was caused by Roach’s punching power, not by exhaustion or any supposed grease-related accident.

Was the Rematch Planned Before the First Fight?

Speculation is now swirling that Tank’s team had already been negotiating a rematch before the fight even took place. Some sources claim the entire bout was designed to build controversy, increase hype, and maximize revenue from a second showdown.

Allegations suggest the referee was instructed to wave off any real knockdown as a slip or clinch to ensure Davis’ record remained intact.

Roach’s Team Fights Back

Following the fight, Roach’s team officially filed an appeal, arguing that the referee’s failure to count the knockdown directly influenced the final result.

In a rare admission, the New York State Athletic Commission acknowledged that the knee should have been ruled a knockdown. However, the commission ultimately upheld the fight’s controversial draw, refusing to overturn the decision.

Fans and Experts Call It a Robbery

Many fans and boxing analysts are outraged, calling the fight yet another example of corruption and favoritism in professional boxing. Roach’s supporters believe he was robbed of a well-earned victory and demand justice.

Roach’s Revenge: “No More Doubts”

Despite the controversy, Roach is more determined than ever to silence the critics and prove he’s the better fighter. Sources close to him reveal that he is approaching the potential rematch with an aggressive, relentless mindset, aiming to leave no doubts in the ring.

As the boxing world watches closely, one thing is clear: if a rematch happens, Roach is coming for redemption.
