Davis blinded by hair product and lost track of roundsFight report: Davis keeps title after controversial drawGervonta Davis v Lamont Roach Jr – as it happened
There was plenty of blame to go around in the wee hours of Sunday morning after the controversial majority draw that nearly cost Gervonta Davis his World Boxing Association lightweight title and undefeated record.
Not long after the three-division champion from Baltimore survived 12 hairy rounds with Lamont Roach Jr to narrowly retain his championship, Davis blamed the would-be knockdown that should have swung the fight to his opponent on a cosmetic malfunction. He blamed his losing track of which round it was on the absence of ring girls. Most of all, he blamed himself for the flattest performance of a 13-year professional career.
