Gervonta Davis
Gervonta Davis (30-0 with 28 knockouts) has a strong resume. He won his IBF junior lightweight title in his 17th pro fight, defeating José Pedraza by a seventh-round TKO. He defended that belt twice with knockouts before taking on Jesús Cuellar for the WBA super featherweight title in 2018. Davis won that bout by a third-round TKO. In 2019, he moved up to lightweight to face Yuriorkis Gamboa for the vacant WBA (regular) lightweight title. Davis won that contest by TKO in the 12th round.
Then, in 2020, he defeated Leo Santa Cruz by sixth-round knockout for the WBA lightweight and WBA super featherweight belts. His most recent win came against Isaac Cruz in December 2021, a tough 12-round decision.
Lamont Roach
No. 5 ranked 130-pounder.

That contest went the distance with Herring retaining his title. Roach bounced back with four wins after that setback. Then, in November 2023, he got a chance to fight for the WBA super featherweight belt, defeating Héctor Luis García by majority decision. In his most recent outing, Roach defeated Feargal McCrory by TKO in front of a hometown crowd to retain that title.

Davis Vs. Roach Breakdown
Davis uses his lead hand as a probe to judge distance and distract his opponents while looking for an opportunity to unload with a power left. He is excellent at feints and level changes to get information on timing and tendencies. His defense is remarkable, with quick countering techniques to make opponents pay for missed offense. His main goal in this fight will be to catch Roach with a power punch.
Roach fights behind a more active jab than Davis, using it as a counter to Davis's probes. He has a strong uppercut as his main power counter but needs to be careful not to leave his head out there for a counter from Davis. Roach's best bet against Davis is to use his jab to counter Davis's probes and step out of range when needed.
So, who's going to win this fight? Like always, it's all about who performs better on the night. But based on their records and skills, it seems like Davis has the edge. But remember, anything can happen in the ring!
