What Roach needs to do to pull up the upheaval

Let’s be honest – Roach is justifiably a huge outsider. He has fought twice for amateurs and lost decisions in both races. As a professional, he never treated an opponent at Davis’s level.
Roach has also not shown the kind of punching force that will convince fans that he will be able to harm the light champion. If Roach is going to be successful, he will have to establish his piercing – which is easier to say than to be against a fighter such as Davis, whose lack often works to his advantage against taller opponents.
Roach must also prove that he can take a shot without guessing, as most of Davis’s opponents have done in his 30 races. Finally, Roach must block Davis. Whether it is a struggle, rough or unpredictable movement, it must bring some stress to Davis’ performance.
When the tank is in the flow state, it is a destruction machine.

It may sound too simplistic, but Davis must be the same. He is as naturally talented as any fighter in the sport, and the IQ race is excellent.
It starts slowly while taking the timetable of an opponent, but once it has it, it is on a search and destruction mission. If there is something that must be careful in this fight, it falls into its trap to be very friendly and familiar with Roach.
The two men seem to have a good relationship. Davis showed a huge respect for Roach’s mother at The Presser on Thursday.
If Davis remains focused on the project, he will be over from the sixth round.
