Tank vs. Roach & Valenzuela vs. Russell – Weighing results for Saturday

The light champion of the Amb Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis vs. Lamont Roach and the Welter weight champion of the AMB José ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela vs. Gary Antuanne Russell weighed successfully in Friday’s weighing for his fights on Saturday, March 1 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Weights – Gervonta Davis 133.8 vs. Lamont Roach 135
– José ‘Ray’ Valenzuela 138.8 vs. Gary Antuanne

Tank seemed visibly drained today, and it showed that it will increase a lot of weight during the night after rehydrating. He exaggerated him, reaching so low to 133.8 lbs instead of closer to the complete limit for division. This is a quite basic title defense for Davis, and is not one of his most difficult for him to go so light.

The only thing that makes sense is that Tank wants to be lighter, knowing that he will need to box more due to Roach’s technical skills. He will not come to Davis, seeking to go through the way Ryan García, Isaac Cruz, Frank Martin and Rolando ‘Rolly’ did.

The Welter weight champion of the AMB, José ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela (14-2, 9 kos) weighed near where he was for his last fight against ‘Pitbull’ last last in August in Los Angeles. Rayo moved a lot in that fight and made it almost impossible for Cruz to put a glove. If he fights like this on Saturday night, Russell will have many problems for him. This could be a really unilateral fight.

“He is a favorite like everyone else I fought with. That’s all, “said Gervonta Davis in the weighingSpeaking of Lamont Roach. “Look at it, he is presuming. It does not have any energy at any other time. The same as always, I give people what they want to see. Explosive knockouts and so on. That is what comes with me. That is what we are going to see on Saturday night. “
