JUST NOW! Gervonta Davis FORCED Frank Martin To SURRENDER In A FIGHT

JUST NOW! Gervonta Davis FORCED Frank Martin To SURRENDER In A FIGHT As Frank Martin nears his June 15 fight date in Las Vegas, headlining against Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis, Martin spends a few minutes talking to TMZ about his thoughts on the fight and why he’s ready to seize the moment. Martin on how he’s feeling heading into the fight “I’m feeling good, man. Just tapering down. You know, we got about two weeks so we’re tapering down and we sharp but just being on point mentally. That’s the main thing.” On what challenges Tank poses for him “I feel like he pose a lot of challenges. He a balanced fighter, a well-rounded fighter, so he gonna bring the best out of me.” On how he becomes the first to beat Tank “I feel like I got a lot of things that him, the world, a lot of people might not expect that I got. So I’m just ready to go in there and capitalize off the moment.” On being the underdog in the matchup “That embraced. You know, like I say ‘bet with me, win with me.’ That is one of those things, like I embrace it. I’m eating off of it, it’s fueling me, so it is what it is. It ain’t going to change so I just got to go out there and do the unexpectable.” On what a win over Tank would do for his career “It means everything. You know, this moment don’t come by like that for a lot of fighters. So me getting it and me being able to change the seat, get in that seat, it’s a blessing to be able to have that type of opportunity.” Gervonta Davis against Shakur Stevenson is one of the most sought after bouts in the sport of boxing, particularly now that it’s a lightweight unification. ‘Tank’ Davis was upgraded to full WBA Champion when the belt was vacated by Devin Haney, and Stevenson won the WBC strap against Edwin De Los Santos, which was vacant for the same reason. With an intriguing clash of styles, a brewing war of words and some of the best attributes in the sport today, a Davis-Stevenson bout has Fight of the Year potential written all over it. Whilst ‘Tank’ certainly isn’t lacking in the skills department, his most notable weapon is equalising power, proven by 27 knockouts from his 29 wins. Stevenson is perhaps the best defensive boxer fighting today, and focuses on neutralising his opponents through movement and timing, rarely letting them plant their feet to through anything with real intent. Should the fight materialise, many think it would be a close affair. Not Paulie Malignaggi. The former world champion turned analyst told ProBox TV that Stevenson wins with ease. “He is the best pure boxer in the sport. Nobody can touch him, nobody can beat him, including elite levels guys. Shakur Stevenson would beat Gervonta Davis and make it look pretty easy. Davis’s power is always a wildcard, but Shakur Stevenson is way too good.” Davis return on June 15 in a title defence against fellow undefeated southpaw Frank Martin. Stevenson puts his belt on the line on July 7 versus Artem Harutyunyan, whose one loss came at the hands of Martin. “Nothing Bad To Say About Him”: Mayweather Promotions CEO Praises Gervonta Davis’ Next Opponent, Blasts Old Narrative About ’Tank’s’ Matchups Gervonta Davis is finally back. After a 14-month layoff, the American is ready to step into the square circle and defend his WBA strap against Frank Martin. But how does he fare against the challenger? Will this be another short and easy sail for the champion? Leonard Ellerbe certainly doesn’t believe so. ‘Tank’ is making a comeback after a devastating knockout of Ryan Garcia, but his troubles outside the ring put his career on hold. Meanwhile, Martin, 29, rose in ranks during that brief break and is now set to fight him for the marble. Notably, a Golden Gloves winner, Martin, comes into the fight on the heels of a hard-fought victory against Artem Harutyunyan last July. But does ‘The Ghost’ have what it takes to cause trouble and put on a competitive fight? In a conversation with Fight Hype, Mayweather Promotions’ CEO gave his candid opinion on Martin. Ellerbe believes Martin, at 18-0, is a slick and terrific fighter. Moreover, having the esteemed coach Derrick James in his corner only adds to his allure. When asked whether Ellerbe liked the opponent he had picked to fight the WBA lightweight champion, he said, “Love it. Love it.” Following this, the American promoter ardently defended Davis’ resume and record when asked whether this fight was an opportunity for Davis to showcase his versatility. As pointed out by the reporter, some fans have raised concerns about Davis handpicking his opponents, who are not slick. However, Ellerbe didn’t find any rationale for those doubts.
