Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis’ latest choice of opponent for his March 1 fight, Lamont Roach Jr., is another disappointing pick in a long list of underwhelming fighters for the Baltimore native. The fight will be shown on PBC on Prime Video PPV at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Not This Guy again
Fans were hoping for a miracle, with Tank surprising them with a holiday announcement that he would pick Edwin De Los Santos, Raymond Muratalla, or Shakur Stevenson. That would go against the grain of the cherry-picking that Tank Davis has done during his career.
Tank would have made the fans really strong if he had canceled the Roach fight and replaced him with Shakur because that matchup would have been absolute fire.
These are just a few of the many fans who want to see Gervonta fight the 29-year-old Roach, who will move up in weight from 130 to challenge for the WBA lightweight title.
Super featherweight Roach (25-1-1, 10 KOs) is NOT the type of opponent fans want to see Tank (30-0, 28 KOs) fight. This was one of the few safeties people have seen from the 30-year-old Davis during his 11-year professional career.
Although the Davis-Roach fight was pushed back from its December 14 debut, fans were hoping that Tank would cancel it due to the negative reviews it received. That’s why today’s announcement that the fight will be rescheduled for March 1 has upset many fans who don’t even want to see it.

WBC lightweight champion Shakur has been calling Tank Davis for a fight since moving up to 135 lb last year, and he hasn’t gotten anywhere. Davis is not interested. Fans would accept that if Tank was fighting players like De Los Santos, Mason, Muratalla, or Zepeda.
