WBA light-weight champion Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis vs. Lamont Roach and WBA mild welterweight champion Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela vs. Gary Antuanne Russell all weighed in efficiently at Friday’s PPV.com weigh-in for his or her fights on Saturday evening on March 1st on the Barclays Heart in Brooklyn, New York.
Weights – Gervonta Davis 133.8 vs. Lamont Roach 135– Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela 138.8 vs. Gary Antuanne 138.2
Tank seemed visibly drained right now, and you may inform he’ll placed on quite a lot of weight in a single day after he rehydrates. He overdid it, coming in so low at 133.8 lbs as an alternative of nearer to the total restrict for the division. This can be a fairly primary title protection for Davis, and never certainly one of his more durable ones for him to be coming in so mild.
The one factor that is smart is Tank desires to be lighter, understanding that he’s going to wish to field extra due to Roach’s technical abilities. He’s not going to come back to Davis, trying to run him over the best way that Ryan Garcia, Isaac Cruz, Frank Martin, and Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero did.
WBA mild welterweight champion Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela (14-2, 9 KOs) weighed in near the place he was at for his final struggle in opposition to ‘Pitbull’ Cruz final August in Los Angeles. Rayo did quite a lot of shifting in that struggle, and made it virtually unimaginable for Cruz to place a glove on him. If he fights like that on Saturday evening, Russell can have quite a lot of points attending to him. This might be a extremely one-sided struggle.
“He’s a frontrunner like everyone else I fought. That’s it,” mentioned Gervonta Davis on the weigh-in, speaking about Lamont Roach. “Look at him, he’s showing off. He ain’t have any of this kind of energy any other time. Same old same old, I give the people what they want to see. Explosive knockouts, and s*** like that. That’s what comes with me. That’s what we’re going to see on Saturday night.”
