Lamont Roach

His professional career began in 2014 with an impressive start. In his first 20 fights, he remained unbeaten, securing 19 victories and one draw. During these matches, Roach claimed several secondary titles, including the WBC Youth Silver and WBO International in the super featherweight division. Roach aspired to win the main WBO title, so on November 9, 2019, he fought against the reigning champion, American Jamel Herring, but suffered a loss by unanimous decision.

Roach took a two-year hiatus and returned to the ring in December 2021. In a 10-round bout, he defeated Argentina’s Rene Alvarado to claim the NABA title. Just over six months later, Roach secured another victory, this time over Angel Rodriguez by judges' decision. As a result, Roach earned another chance to vie for the WBA title.

On November 25, 2023, he faced the reigning super featherweight champion, Hector Luis Garcia of Venezuela. The fight was evenly matched and was decided in the final 12th round. Roach managed to knock down the champion, which proved decisive. Roach snatched victory by points — 114-113, 113-114, and 116-111, earning the WBA super featherweight title. Overall, the 28-year-old boxer has a record of 26 fights, 24 wins, one loss, and one draw.

Feargal McCrory

The WBA super featherweight title contender. The 31-year-old Irish boxer made his professional debut in 2015. His first opponent was Zolt Schmidt, whom he defeated by technical knockout. Following this, he won eight more fights. In February 2019, McCrory had his first title shot. In his tenth professional fight, he defeated Karl Kelly by technical knockout in the 9th round to win the Irish lightweight title.

McCrory went on to win six more bouts. His most recent fight took place in March 2024 against Mexican Carlos Carlson for the WBA Inter-Continental title, which he won by technical knockout in the third round.

Lamont Roach vs Feargal McCrory Prediction

Lamont Roach has considerably more experience competing at a high level. While McCrory is undefeated, his opponents have not been of the same caliber. Roach’s last knockout victory was in 2019, and I believe he can achieve another one now. I will bet on Roach winning by knockout with odds of 1.66.
