    ‼️ The Ring has been advised that the New York State Athletic Commission has decided to uphold the Gervonta Davis vs Lamont Roach fight result, officially keeping the bout a draw.

    In regard to the controversial no-knockdown call in round nine, the ruling states: “Since the bout continued for more than 3 full rounds after the referee's no knockdown call, and because the boxers necessarily adjusted to the referee's ruling, the referee's call was not outcome-determinative.”

    I don't understand these fucking guys. Especially that loon Garcia. Guys born with looks and a name like that and the best he can manage is e-beefs with fellow assholes. Davis should be crossing over into TV but he's converting and retiring and getting Brylcream in his eyes.

    Taylor should be on the TV circuit saying nice things a la George Groves but no he's collapsed into an alcoholic haze and the TV people won't touch him..

    Good video, man. I think the book on Tank has been out on the low, but people weren’t catching on. Even against Frank and Rolly, we saw the flaws. Against Santa Cruz and Barrios as well. Even Ryan had success at times.

    It’s absolutely NOT by accident that Tank hasn’t fought one guy who is a perceived real legitimate threat to him. Latest pound 4 pound rankings have Tank out of the top 10. And while that may not mean much to him and his groupie fan base, he’s probably at that point where he’s not gonna command the type of BAG he wants unless he fights a Shakur or a Teo sometime soon. I’m pretty sure he’s not gonna rematch Roach. He knows deep down that he lost.

    It’s gonna be back to regular programming with Tank, basically fighting guys that are no hopers until someone pays him something silly to fight one of the elite guys in his division.

    His deal with amazon is 6 fights for 240 million. How will the bag shrink?

    When the 6 fights are up. And if he gets McClellaned, right there and then.

    I haven't seen his contract but I'd have to assume that there's something in there to make sure Amazons bag doesn't shrink either.

    And if it's Jeff's bag Vs Tanks bag then .....

    He'll be 120 mill into the deal after his next fight even if it's contingent on him winning to continue. Plus what he made vs garcia and all previous fights. I'm thinking He'll he alrite financially

    That’s assuming he’s financially responsible, which he doesn’t come across to me as being so.

    Hopefully he doesn’t retire before the deal is up so we can see him fight someone like Shakur or Teo.

    He might be alright financially. But what Puerto Rock was saying is that ....that's it. There won't be any more 6 fight deals for guys who suffer Malignaggi moments with their hair.

    His £240m deal can be immediately halved for tax. That's £120m. Baby mammas, legal, "friends" etc....thst outs him under £100m.

    The way these guys live ......I bet he's back later.

    Yeah I can’t see Tank moving to the country side to live a slow, quiet life after retiring.

    He likes the fame and the limelight. He likes to live LARGE.

    That high life is hard to keep up with, especially nowadays.

    Country boy can survive. City boy can go broke.....all those diamonds and bling and expenses. He's the sort of guy who'll be loaning money to pals and not getting it back.
