Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis posted on social media in the present day, saying that he’s “nonetheless combating in Houston, Texas on the Toyota Middle,” however didn’t affirm whether or not the December 14th date remains to be on in opposition to tremendous featherweight Lamont Roach.
The struggle nonetheless hasn’t been introduced by PBC, and this isn’t the kind of struggle that may have a fast promotion. Davis vs. Roach is such a low-level struggle that it could require months of promotion to get followers all for buying it on Prime Video PPV.
Just lately, there was speak of the Tank vs. Roach struggle having venue issues, and the occasion could be moved to January twenty fifth for the David Benavidez vs. David Morrell card on PBC on Prime Video PPV in Las Vegas.
If PBC goes to maintain Tank-Roach on the December 14th card alone with out assist from a large chief assist struggle, it’s going to bomb on pay-per-view. A few of Tank and Roach’s loyal followers from the East Coast could need to drive the 1400+ miles to see the struggle in Houston, however I doubt it. That’s an extended drive for a lackluster struggle. If followers have a lot curiosity in a regional contest between them, why isn’t the match being staged on the East Coast?
Tank’s submit in the present day on X means that he’s nonetheless combating in Houston, but it surely stays to be seen if it occurs in that metropolis, given the low curiosity there’s in his struggle in opposition to tremendous featherweight Lamont Roach Jr. (25-1-1, 10 KOs). Neither of those fighters is from Texas. They’re each East Coast guys, and Roach is totally unknown to informal boxing followers.
Even hardcore followers have not often seen him struggle. It’s important to be an ultra-hardcore fan who has been round for some time to know of Roach, who is usually recognized for getting crushed up in a loss to Jamel Herring in 2019.
Every part nonetheless a go..
