The key moment happened in round nine when, having been hit by a punch from Roach, Davis then waited a moment before taking a knee. He then rushed to his corner and asked for his face to be wiped, later saying that “grease” from his hair was “burning” his eyes.

One man who knows Davis well is Ryan Garcia, after the two fighters met back in April 2023, with ‘Tank’ claiming a seventh round stoppage victory. Garcia has now shared his view on the Davis vs. Roach outcome, revealing that he would be happy to see the result changed to give Roach the win.
