Lamont Roach’s team failed him, and still, he is still no one to blame himself

By Frank Bay: In the disposal rule of 3 with Mario López and Steve Kim, the editor of Ring Dougie Fischer magazine agreed with me on the Lomaont Roach guide. Now, listen, this does not mean that Tank Davis won the fight or sounds like the Groupies Tank Davis in the comments section that claim that it is the boxing face, and added that he must take it out of the champion.

Tank Davis deserved to lose, but received his treatment with PBC from side A and deservedly. About Lamont Roach, he also deserved to lose. The simple and simple truth is that Lamont Roach did not do enough to win the fight convincingly! That is the inconvenient and unpopular truth.

The fights are scored round, and during the first five rounds, Lamont Roach got an average of less than 5 blows per round, and in one case, the screen flashed that had landed zero blows near the end of a round. Let that sink, readers. This was a pathetic and mediocre struggle during most of its duration.

What is called in sports terms is to play not to lose instead of playing to win. Roach is very guilty of this, and must be taken into account. The majority of boxing fans with knowledge that enter the fight knew that Tank Davis would receive all the calls and would dare if we say that he is allowed to cheat their path towards a victory.

Let me say it again: we all knew this, so it is sure to say that Roach and his team should have been killed in the brain so as not to be at least aware that they would not get the benefit of the doubt if it were close. During the fight, it was true that Davis was telling Roach: ‘You will not win a nearby one. ‘Life boxing fans are aware of this little dirty secret about our beloved sport. Yes, there is corruption and money conversations. The energy of the stars and the sale of tickets are more important than W’s or L’s. We saw it earlier in the day, when Paddy Donavan was probably deceived by a victory because the referee made a DQ call.

In addition to the flagrant trap that allowed the referee Steve Willis, he also came out, we cannot trust the commissions to do the right things such as the New York commission, when he faced the obvious trap, declared, they had ‘technical difficulties’ at that time exactly and could not make the call during the fight. We pay fans to growl and carry it on the chin. Then, you are telling fans that they bought the PPV fight of $ 100, that on the biggest stage in Boxing it concentrates you, not in a local gym with club fighters, but who had a team of television production members who broadcast the world, high -level professionals who work in a live Feed, and the commission had technical problems at the worst possible time. Sorry friend, I’m not buying it.

I will tell you that Lamont Roach knows that he did not do enough during the fight. There comes a time when a fighter must be aware of the situation. Roach needed to put his stamp in the fight and leave no doubt on anyone’s mind that he was the legitimate winner. The public must be honest with himself and recognize that Roach was simply not willing to do what he should do, and that left everything in the ring.

This is what we saw with Artur Beterbiev against Dmitry Bivol. Both men were happy to leave it closely and not run the risk necessary to close the program, saying that David Benevity did it against David Morrell. Benevity, in this case, was forced to close the show because it was fallen because it was exhausted. But Morrell, in front of a certain fatality, decided to leave everything in the ring that night. In these cases, fans win, but also the fighters. Fans want to see Morrell again despite losing.

Roach was content to leave him a draw. Therefore, we must refuse to cry for Roach, since he decided that a victory against the tank was going to twelve rounds. Tank Davis said it so much, noting that Roaches’s father was dancing and celebrating the raffle as if they had won. Recently we saw Edgar Berlanga do the same, going to the distance with Canelo Álvarez. Films have been made about the boxers that are celebrated for going to the distance with legends such as Ali (Rocky’s base) and Sugar Ray Leonard (the base of Marky Walburg’s ‘The Fighter’.

But this is exactly when the truth needs to be spoken. In question, on the billboard, former champion Julian Williams was hitting the brain by a young and hungry fighter Tellez. It occurred to me and the announcer Joe Goosen that Williams resigned in silence and was content to be beaten and simply survive, and I understand. What had bothered me was that the man who considers a little fraud was his coach, ‘Breta’ Edward, known among unconditional boxing fans. He was constantly asked how he was going to Williams bloody and mistreated.

Bread-Man told his fighter that he was close. Ok, I understand, for example, a game with children playing where the score doesn’t matter. But during a boxing game, this was completely unpleasant and dangerous. Williams was receiving a beating that changed his life, and his friend lied to him. If Edwards had been honest, he could have allowed his position to save some brain cells and leave gracefully. Williams should also have realized the score. This returns me again to Roach who has no one to blame but himself.

In addition, the corner of two men from Davis was in disorder during the fight, since his corner told him that he was ahead and that it was a bad weather. A bewildered Davis was under the guidance of inept men who cost him what he said would have been tips that would change the game. Something that honest good cornermen is to tell its fighter that the fight is close, or worse they could be losing and need to close the show. Devils, we even saw his excellence lose him and shout at the Hamzah Sharraz team that he was losing for two points against Carlos Adames, which fans noticed that he was very suspicious.

However, that is what is needed in large fights. Is that risky advice, and endanger what could be a thin victory? Yes, but it is the honest answer and the fighter is forced to decide. Play safe, complain and cry if you lose or leave everything in the ring and possibly you put on ko’d, but at least you assure you the victory and do not leave doubts to all those who look. These things are forever. Our best memories are coaches who have the time of bifurcation on the road with their man. It looks when Micky tells Rocky that you are blowing him, boy!

Roach, you flew, child. Landing zero blows near the end of a round is not a way to overcome the star of List A. and for the fighter’s fire, anyone who is not willing to tell the truth of the matter. His legacy depends on it and, more importantly, his health depends on it.
