Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis vs Frank Martin, 4am
Picks:
Martin @5/1
Fight to go the Distance NO @4/9
The main event is a clash between two undefeated lightweights looking to prove they are the best in the talent-rich 135-pound division. Gervonta Davis, a protégé of Floyd Mayweather Jr., has been a wrecking ball, steamrolling opponents with his explosive power.
In his last outing in April 2023, Davis scored a sensational 7th-round knockout over Ryan Garcia. The 29-year-old Baltimore native has stopped all but two of his opponents.
Meanwhile, the 29-year-old Frank Martin has been quietly climbing the ranks. The slick southpaw is coming off the biggest win of his career, a 12-round decision over Artem Harutyunyan last July. Martin used his speed, movement and sharp counterpunching to outbox the aggressive Harutyunyan.
This is a classic boxer vs puncher matchup. For Martin to pull off the upset, he’ll need to utilize his jab, angles and footwork to keep Davis at bay. He cannot afford to stand in the pocket and trade with the heavy-handed Davis. Martin’s best chance is to pile up points early and avoid getting clipped by Davis’ thunderous left hand.
