You can\u2019t go in your own corner and your coach come up. You can\u2019t take a timeout on yourself in boxing. You can\u2019t say timeout and go to your corner and have your coach wipe your eyes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t do that. Whatever it was, it wasn\u2019t right. If it was the other side they definitely would have called a knockdown and they definitely would have took points or disqualified Roach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davis is still the reigning WBA lightweight champion but it\u2019s currently unknown what his next move will be, with his planned exhibition with Jake Paul in November cancelled at short notice after \u2018Tank\u2019 was named in a civil lawsuit regarding domestic allegations.<\/p>\n<p>                                            <script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Terence Crawford has had some strong words to say about a reigning undefeated world champion.
