Boxer Gervonta Davis blames hair product after controversial title draw

Gervonta Davis retained his lightweight title with a majority draw against Lamont Roach, where one judge scored 115-113 for Davis and two scored 114-114.
Davis claimed that grease from his hair caused him to take a knee for assistance in the ninth round, which referee Steve Willis did not count as a knockdown.
Roach expressed disappointment over not being credited with the potential knockdown, stating, 'I thought I won, I thought I did enough to get the victory over a spectacular fighter.'
The crowd of 19,250 at Barclays Center booed the decision, feeling Roach was robbed on the scorecards after a close fight.
