Tank Sends Lamont Roach A Chilling Warning - 'None Of Them Can Stop This'

Gervonta Davis and Lamont Roach Jr. held their second presser in preparation for their March 1 fight. 

Davis will hope to follow up on his victory against Frank Martin, where he stopped his opponent to retain his WBA Lightweight Title. He took the Roach fight, much to the surprise of boxing fans, who criticized him for not facing the other big names in the division. However, Davis threw a curve ball recently, announcing that he would retire to fight three times next year. One of those names will be Roach, but he has remained muted over his remaining two fights. Fans have been speculating over who it could be. 
His failure to fight Shakur Stevenson and Devin Haney has come under fire.

However, Davis has said he does not care about belts. He is focused on securing his money and leaving the sport healthy. He aims to focus on his real estate portfolio and his newborn son. There is a feeling that Davis could end up rematching Ryan Garcia since that fight was his biggest payday. That fight earned him approximately $50 million, and he sold over 1.2 million PPVs.

Roach arrives into this fight with a point to prove. He knows there is a chance Davis may be looking past him, given that his focus is on leaving the sport. Roach won the WBA belt at 130 against Hector Garcia. Garcia knows Davis very well, having faced him. But Garcia failed to produce the goods as he was stopped. Roach hopes to be different, as both fighters were ready for war. 

Davis Vs. Roach Jr.

“I haven’t been watching his fights too much, but I’ve been in the gym with him and I know how he moves. I’ll get in camp and get up to date on him. I know for sure he’s definitely tough and has sneaky power. He’s had sneaky power since we were kids. We’re gonna figure out what he’s best at, and we’ll take it away from him. I make sure I’m on top of my stuff. It’s boxing, so anything can happen. Boxers have off nights. We gotta do everything to be on top of our game.

“He better not bring his family. That’s what I’ve been saying. He might be my people, but we gotta get it on. I don’t care who he come with. None of them can stop this. I’m not just repping Baltimore, I’m repping people all over. Everyone who’s going through something. If people doubt you, or you think your back is against the ropes, I do it for you. I’m from Baltimore and he’s from D.C., so you know there’s something to this. But I do always feel like D.C. is home, because I’ve always had to beat these guys in the amateurs and they became my boys,” Davis said

Roach’s Quotes

“I’ve got D.C. in here. They know what’s up and they know what’s up with me. His team knows my work, up close and personal. We got a lot for him and come March 1, we’re gonna kick some ass. I’ve gotten better in every aspect since the amateurs. I was one of the best boxers in the country as an amateur, and I’m much better now. Look at the people here for me. That’s who I do it for. I do it for the people with me. My whole family is from D.C. Like my entire family.

“They’re gonna celebrate with me in Brooklyn.” I can do whatever I want. He’s not doing anything to me. He’s got nothing for me. It’s just me and him. He can’t be worried about these other people. My advice to the kids who want to fight is to keep your head down. I didn’t get this far by half-assing anything. [And] I put that work in. I advise any youngin’ to go chase their dream. If it was easy, everyone would do it, so you just gotta keep pushing,” Roach Jr.
