Ryan Garcia did not hesitate when he was asked whether Gervonta Davis should be changed against Lamont Roach result

The struggle of Gervonta Davis against Lamont Roach is still a hot topic in the boxing world.

Davis defended his WBA Lightweight title against Roach in the Barclays Center in New York in a fight that many believed that they would be a simple victory for “tank”.

It turned out that it was all, but when Davis was pushed all the way by the challenger, with the fight ending in a majority decision after the scorecards had read 115-113 Davis and 114-114 twice.

However, it could have been a completely different result because “tank” decided to take a knee, but the referee decided not to count him.

Davis later revealed that he did this because of fat, but the New York State Athletic Commission examined the matter that has changed the result. Many believed that it should have been 10: 8 round for Roach and he saw that he was the new champion.

A man who knows Davis is Ryan Garcia after the two fighters met in April 2023. “

Garcia has now shared his view of Davis's result against Roach and revealed that he would be happy that the result changed to give Roach the victory.

“If that changes the entire fight when the Roach gives victory, give it the victory. This is how you keep the integrity of sport, right? That's why they really suspended me, right? To keep the integrity of sport. “

Garcia was suspended for a year after his victory over Devin Haney in April 2023. Later it became a competition after 'King Ry' had not passed a drug test.

He will return to the campaign in May when he faces ROLY ROMERO, on a map in which Haney also takes over Jose Ramirez, and the WBO super lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez, who defends his belt against Arnold Barboza.
