Has the Gervonta Davis received special treatment? Referee's decision to stop the number after the knee has done control

Disqualification request

Diaz says that the Decision of the Gervonta to take a knee, Turn your back and head to his corner Immediately afterwards, it had to be stated and disqualification. In both cases, the referee, Steve Willis, released it without stopping the match or lending to Challenger Roach (25-1-2, 10 kos) for a knockdown. These two blown calls from the judge influenced the results of the battle, which were marked as a draw by a majority of 12 rounds.

Tank Davis claims he took his knee because he had fat in his eyes. This is a bad excuse because the fighters often get fat in their eyes during battles and they do not take a knee and then go to their corner to wipe it away. Why was Davis allowed to do this from the referee?

Special treatment?

What worsens this worse is that Tank is a superstar and gives the appearance to the fans, that he was given a special treatment, that a less popular fighter would not if they took a knee and left after they got to their feet. This is collapse and disqualification in normal circumstances.

“I really got upset when I saw the number started and then stopped. I ran to the Athletics Commission (New York) and said, “What do we call it? I just want to know what you call it. Everyone saw it was a knockdown. You don't want to swing him? You turn your back, it's disqualification. There are two disqualifications and destruction. If he gets weaning he gets the victory, “Roach's manager said, Robert Diaz to Boxing news Regarding the ninth round of Davis's “Tank” Davis that referee Steve Willis failed to call last Saturday night.

“When he started counting, how to stop his number? I will give it on Monday, I will call and talk to the people and I will say, “What happened here?” I don't see them cancel the solution, but I see them say, “Okay, let's make a rematch,” Diaz said.
