Gervonta Davis' Majority Draw Against Lamont Roach Jr. Sparks Controversy Over Ninth-Round Incident

The New York State Athletic Commission is investigating claims that Davis' use of hair grease and officiating errors impacted the fight's outcome.

Gervonta Davis' fight against Lamont Roach Jr. on March 1 ended in a majority draw, marking the first blemish on Davis' previously perfect record.
Controversy arose after Davis took a knee in the ninth round, which was not ruled a knockdown despite Roach landing a three-punch combination.
Davis attributed the incident to hair grease from a recent styling session getting into his eyes, temporarily affecting his vision.
Roach's legal team has formally requested the New York State Athletic Commission to overturn the result, citing officiating errors and rule violations during the fight.
The Commission's investigation could potentially alter the fight's outcome, with implications for Davis' record and Roach's championship status.
