Yesterday it was reported that WBA lightweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis was taken into custody will serve the remainder of his sentence (about 60 days) in jail. Details were rather sparse on what violations Tank had actually made.
According to the Baltimore Banner, the Court had approved the home of Davis’ trainer Calvin Ford as the location of Tank’s house arrest. However accommodations at Ford’s house were a bit tight, so Tank relocated temporarily to the Four Seasons Hotel and then into a $3.4 million high-rise penthouse he recently purchased.
Because Davis changed his location without the court’s permission, the judge revoked Davis’ house arrest and ordered him spend to spend the rest of his sentence in jail.
Who’s his advicer..?.
.how could be this possible?
His lawyers should have known from the get go and fully explained to Tank everything,his lawyers said all of that part wasn’t made clear to them and Tank didn’t know,hislawyers knew to ask the judge first, explain Tank’s concerns and see what she’d say,I would fire my lawyers too that’s ridiculous keep up with your clients that’s paying you especially under those eggshell rules.
Davis will make a trillion dollars fighting and die broke.
You know that wouldn’t surprise me to see down the line. This guy couldn’t make a good decision if his life depended on it.
Do you know anybody who dies and takes their money with them?
@Sean No, but he does have at least one kid. Hopefully he at least makes sure she’s well taken care of, and maybe elevates the family tree out of the ghetto, where he grew up.
FUNNY!!!! Sean
u probably said the same thing about Floyd
Not so. Floyd was a clean living guy .
How much you paying your lawyer? I could told you to slow your roll for half of what you paid them.
Paparazzi got him caught up smh
There’s no way Tank didn’t know the rules here. It was probably just his refusal or inability to follow them. From the article: “the Court had approved the home of Davis’ trainer Calvin Ford as the location of Tank’s house arrest.” How could he have left the courtroom not understanding that?
Yes, great point!
Where were Calvin Ford when Davis took the decision to move himself out?
Calvin Ford, Gervonta’s lawyer, Al Haymon, none of them could tell Gervonta what will happen if he moves himself out?
That’s why I admire Michael jordan the best sport player ever and he never got in trouble very disciplined guy
And a complete jerk to everybody, overrated pos
except for his gambling addiction
Yes, Michael Jordan never got in trouble, but he was very difficult to deal with. Muhammad Ali for me is not the greatest because he refusal to serve in the military and his offensive remarks to Joe Frazier, calling him uncle Tom and Gorilla, Joe Frazier was the one putting money on Ali pocket when he could not get a license to box.
Sport figures to me are:
1- Finito Lopez: Never lost a fight, no public scandal to bring dishonor to boxing.
2- Laszlo Papp (Hungary), Teofilo Stevenson (Cuba), and Felix Savon (Cuba). Three time Olympic Champions
3- Usain Bolt
4- Michael Phelps
5- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
6- Pele
7- Rocky Marciano
Among others
You must’ve forgotten Marciano was put in a military brig for trying to avoid fighting for the military.
Thanks Steve, scratch Rocky from my list.
So you’re just writing names without doing your research. Gotcha
Phelps the weed bust
Weeds nowadays is getting decriminalize by more states & countries, I will give him a pass on this one
But back then it wasn’t,have you forgotten how long ago it was which it was not legal then when he got busted,he gets no pass,and no one is absolutely perfect anyway,sometimes it’s bad choices you make,or being around the wrong people or person or even being at the wrong place at the wrong time,NoOne is perfect rather it comes out in the media or is kept behind closed doors or paid to keep quiet.
Yes you should go die in Vietnam for a country where you can’t get a glass of water because of the color of your skin. Muhamad Ali is the Greatest my friend, like it or not.
LOL! Will prob be thrown around as a BLM case.
Everyone in Antifa & BLM needs to be locked up and sent to a state or federal farm or factory to serve hard. Make them all PAY for their crimes. Impeach Joe Biden.
Oh are you butthurt and sore that it’s only your “proud boys, oath keepers, and insurrectionists that are going to prison? This is a boxing forum. Racist!!!
No, this is called a two tier justice system. You can phrase however you want, but that’s what it is. If you are conservative, you go to jail. If you are liberal, you are celebrated or not charged with a crime. This is today’s justice system.
I dont think we do have a two tier justice system in our beloved US. To be fair, when one President from either of the two major political parties is in the WH, he and his justice dept. is going to support (legally and in some cases illegally) his major donors by passing or enacting policies that benefits them.
Public & Sport figures get preferential treatment on most cases.
This is not the same as having two tier justice system, since both parties do this.
Gervonta is not an activist, or civil right leader, or major donor or makes advertisements in support of a political party.
Gervonta,
1- Caused an accident,
2- Driving under the influence (allegedly),
3- Left the scene of an accident,
4- Did not provide any help to the people he hurt.
5- What he got? 90 days house arrest, he could not even do that
Compare Gervonta vs Rogel Aguilera-Mederos who got 110 years for an accident, later reduced to 10 years.
Do you still think that Gervonta got a second tier justice?
Ah, was not commenting on whether Davis got preferential treatment, but since you put it out there, I believe he did. It is what it is at this point. DUI with injury is major felony in my state, don’t know about Maryland. I’m sure he was facing some prison time, but since he is known, they cut him a lot of slack.
Maybe my post was not clear, he did get preferential treatment, but this is regardless of this political affiliation. Even with that, he still could not do the 90 days. Now, the question we need to ask, did he receive preferential treatment solely because of his success in the ring? I dont think so, I think it is partly because his success in the ring, he paid his victims of the accident he caused, and perhaps the money he used to hire the best lawyers to defend him.
Now Rogel Aguilera-Mederos who got 110 years for an accident, later reduced to 10 years, did not get a good deal, he did not have the financial mean as Davis.
At the end, it is a case of money vs no money, having money helps you to hire the best lawyer. A la OJ Simpson in his penal murder trial.
Well, don’t sing those lawyers laurels just yet. LAPD bungled that case from the get go. Those lawyers just pointed it out in a loud way. I think a public defender with a little know how could of poked holes in that case.
When had you heard or read a public defender in a big case like this got the W?
But is that the truth? If you want the truth go to antifa dot com and see where that takes you
america would definitely be on that list
Of course you’re a Karen. Nobody cares about your politics. This is a boxing forum. Spread your division somewhere else.
I thought this was about boxing what do your political views have to do with this find another platform keep this about boxing
Can u say ‘scumbag?’
Thugs everywhere must be delighted with Tank. Great fighter, pathetic man!
So what would y’all call the white lady that had Emmit Till killed for whistling at her; Caroline Bryant Dorham? Thugs like her everywhere must be singing her praises.
Free Tank Davis & Daniel Penny.
You’re half right LJ…
“accommodations at Ford’s house were a bit tight, so Tank decided to go to jail, that is a lot tighter “
I like Gervonta’s logic or excuse
This is a perfect example of the inequities of our legal system in the US: You have money, you serve your jail time at the 4 Seasons. You don’t have money, you serve time in an actual jail and a lot more of it because you have a shitty public defender that couldnt reduce your sentence. But! If you’re a complete moron, you end up serving time in jail because you think you don’t have to follow the rules because you’re so used to getting away with everything.
I don’t know why some of you can’t leave that racist and political BS out of here and let this be about boxing. I don’t care if you’re white, brown, pink, or purple there’s no race that has no bad people. If you’re a racist you’re not a good person period! Now only boxing from here on out from me. Some of these guys like Tank have to get out of their own way and have someone they actually listen to and that is not a yes man advise them
A return to meritocracy is what is needed. Based on being a human before a race or color, etc.
Sorry to bust your bubbles that will never happen unless AI is doing the trials, prosecuting, defending, & judging. In all seriousness, there are still some decent humans out there willing to do right, regardless of who one person is, but they are few and fewer are in the right places…
Son, you are in total denial or totally stupid, check the crime stats. for all race’s in the USA . Hope this helps
First of all, I’m not your son. Second, I know the crime stats, so I don’t need to check them. Third, if you are treating people based on their race or color than you have already lost. The guy above me wrote there are bad in every race, very true statement and I agree. When you use merits than you will be able to weed out who is good or bad. I don’t need crime stats to tell me how I look at human beings. I’ve dealt with all races one time or another that were POS. If you are judging before you ever meet or talk to a person than you will go no where.
His new high rise penthouse is breathtaking. Hopefully he doesn’t end up wasting money on silly things and stays out of trouble.
Hey Art , trouble is his middle name .
Like many people, many boxers, we hope they can make it through the youthful years and all the bad decisions.
Torito Ayala & Ike “The President” Ibeaubuchi never realized their potential and the public never got to see the best of them in the ring.
Just check out the Foreman story you can change if you want to
Consequences, a word that is nasty. All you fan boys are not doing Tank any favors, cut the umbilical cord. Either grow up or prepare for bigger fall next time with bigger consequences. What would coach Prime do?
Gervonta thinks he is above the law or that he can do whatever he wants without repercussion. I wonder if he was required to wear an ankle bracelet.
I’m glad Davis beat Garcia, but he’s a total jerk!
Who are we dealing with here.. Judge Judy?
Geezus Tank!!
If everyone making these negative comments would join together and pray the orayer of faith for our mighty God to intervene in his mind and hia heart. To change him completely and he can and will live his right life. He will change. Everything is possible in Jesus name.
When I looked at his case when he was about to fight Garcia I thought he was going to get around six months in jail, he took an easy way out of jail and figured out how to get into jail. He doesn’t think the rules apply to him which means he’s going to continue to make bad decisions. The good thing is he’s young so he has a little time to learn.
he is a king in there…
can i be his friend i only have 1000 in my bank account
As a young man 1 year I had to move frequently over the course of a year or so. not by choice.
But this guy has the funds and a whole “team” who should be helping steer him to the right choice. Sad to see him jumping from trainer house to penthouse to the BIG house. But 60 days is for less than a season, then he can relocate to the 4 seasons again. Now he can rely on people to prepare meals for him, have adequate time to workout and pray for his victims, and be around other colleagues/cellmates. But not by choice.
Even with free will, and options to make good choices some people can’t navigate a moral compass well. It’s his choice. It’s a shame, but too many other good boxers we can look to as a positive role model and a top fighter.
Well…looks like tank did it to himself.
Another Adrian Broner ! Give this wanna be Thug what he deserves !
Teo is not from Brooklyn anymore he talk to much and he gets put down to easy it’s better to box and not try to knock out every body good luck teo Lopez
Good luck to all the fighters! Tank you messed up bro, get it together man!….
