Where does Roach land after controversial draw with 'Tank' Davis?


Following Saturday’s controversial draw with Gervonta “Tank” Davis in Brooklyn, Lamont Roach is now the only fighter in ESPN’s men’s rankings who appears in multiple divisions.

Roach is now ranked No. 6 at 135 pounds after he fought on even terms with Davis, the WBA champion who remains ESPN’s No. 1 lightweight. Typically when fighters enter new weight classes, they are no longer ranked in their previous division, but Roach remains the WBA junior lightweight titleholder and as such maintains his No. 5 ESPN ranking at 130 pounds.

Roach also has a case that he deserved the decision against Davis. If referee Steve Willis correctly ruled a knockdown in Round 9 after Davis took a knee, Roach would have won the fight on the scorecards. Two judges scored the fight 114-114, and the third had his card 115-113 in Davis’ favor.

Instead, Roach will have to wait for a possible rematch to settle matters. Davis said Monday on X he would push for a rematch that could take place in late May.

On the undercard, Gary Antuanne Russell outpointed Jose Valenzuela in dominant fashion to lift the WBA junior welterweight title. The Russell family has accomplished much in boxing and now boasts two champions (Gary Antuanne’s brother and trainer, Gary Russell Jr., a former featherweight champion). Russell is now rated No. 6 at 140 pounds while Valenzuela falls off the top 10.

In the other 140-pound title fight on the undercard, Alberto Puello retained his WBC title with a split-decision victory over Sandor Martin. Puello is now ranked No. 4. It’s yet another disputed decision defeat for Martin in a high-profile fight. In December 2022, Martin dropped a split decision to Teofimo Lopez. Martin enters the rankings at No. 10, even in defeat.

ESPN’s divisional boxing rankings highlight the best in the sport in every weight class. Rankings will change based on recent results and performances. Fighters who have announced they are moving to a different weight class will be ranked in that new division, if warranted, only once they fight in that weight class. Fighters who currently own titles in two divisions can be ranked in both.

Fighters who haven’t competed in the past 12 months — and don’t have a fight scheduled — will be dropped from the rankings until they fight again. Any fighter who tests positive for a performance-enhancing substance will also be removed. That boxer will be eligible to reenter the rankings after his next bout.
