The incident in question happened earlier this year, with discussions still ongoing. Crawford highlighted a moment during the fight where Davis allegedly had an inappropriate exchange with his trainer, which sparked the debate.
In expressing his opinion, Crawford did not hold back. He stated:
"Even so, it should also have been a disqualification, because you can't go to the corner and then have your trainer approach you in the middle of the fight."
An unidentified person also criticized how referees handled another aspect of the fight:
"I've never seen someone kneel down and not count it as a fall. They must have forgotten the rules for tonight."
The buzz surrounding this situation stems from the fight's failure to follow standard knockdown protocols. Unlike other boxers who receive protective counts when knocked down, officials did not apply this rule to Davis during his fight with Roach Jr.
This discussion around Gervonta’s conduct has stretched from March 2023 into late this year. It continues shaping opinions about what constitutes fair play in boxing circles. Whether or not more will come from these debates remains to be seen.
