(Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)Getty ImagesLets be honestRoach is justifiably a huge underdog. Hes fought Davis twice in the amateurs and lost decisions in both fights. As a pro, he has never faced an opponent on Davis level.Roach also hasnt shown the kind of punching power that would convince fans hell be able to hurt the lightweight champion. If Roach is going to have success, hell need to establish his jabwhich is easier said than done against a fighter like Davis, whose lack of height often works in his favor against taller opponents.Roach also has to prove that he can take a shot without wilting, as most of Davis opponents have done in his 30 pro fights. Lastly, Roach has to frustrate Davis. Whether its through wrestling, roughhousing, or unpredictable movement, hes got to bring some anxiety to Davis performance.When Tank is in the flow state, hes a wrecking machine.What Tank Must Do to Retain His TitleNEW YORK, NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 28: Gervonta Davis steps on the scale and poses at the weigh in ...

Hes as physically gifted as any fighter in the sport, and his fight IQ is exceptional.He starts slow while getting an opponents timing, but once he has it, hes on a seek-and-destroy mission. If there is anything he must be careful of in this fight, its falling into the trap of being too friendly and familiar with Roach.The two men seemingly have a good relationship. Davis showed immense respect for Roachs mother at the presser on Thursday.If Davis stays focused on the task, he will have this finished by the sixth round.Here is a look at the boxing schedule for 2025 following Tank vs. Roach.Boxing Schedule 2025Friday, March 7, 2025Location: Royal Albert Hall, London, GBTime: 1:00 PM (ET)The Ring Welterweight Championship: (c) Natasha Jonas vs. Lauren PriceWednesday, March 12, 2025Location: Hordern Pavilion, Sydney, AustraliaTime: 3:00 am ETKeith Thurman vs. Brock JarvisMichael Zerafa vs. Erkan AySaturday, March 15, 2025Location: M&S Bank Arena, Liverpool, GBTime: 1:00 PM (ET)WBA World Featherweight Championship: (c) Nick Ball vs. TJ DohenySunday, March 16, 2025Location: The Theater at MSG, New York City, USTime: 9:00 PM (ET)Callum Walsh vs. Dean SutherlandSaturday, March 29, 2025Location: Fontainebleau, Las Vegas, Las Vegas, USTime: 9:00 PM (ET)WBO World Welterweight Championship: (c) Mikaela Mayer vs. Sandy RyanBruce Shoo Shoo Carrington vs. Enrique VivasSaturday, April 12, 2025Location: Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, New Jersey, USTime: 8:00 PM (ET)The Ring Welterweight Championship: (c) Jaron Boots Ennis vs. Eimantas StanionisSaturday, April 26, 2025Location: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, GBTime: 12:00 PM (ET)Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Conor BennAnthony Yarde vs. Lyndon ArthurLiam Smith vs. Aaron McKennaChris Billam-Smith vs. Brandon GlantonCheavon Clarke vs. Viddal RileySaturday, May 2, 2025Location: Times SquareTime: TBDRyan Garcia vs. Rolly RomeroDevin Haney vs. Jose RamirezTeofimo Lopez vs. Arnold Barboza Jr.
