Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Lamont Roach Jr. fought to a majority draw, the first blemish on the lightweight champion’s record in his career.
One judge scored the bout two points in favor of Davis, while the other two judges scored the bout 114-114.
A rematch is likely the next bout for the combatants, with the DC area natives possibly wanting round two somewhere closer to their adjacent hometowns.
As soon as the first score was announced, the crowd had resigned to a successful title defense for Davis, with everyone, including the combatants shocked by the controversial decision.
