Tank Davis Vs Frank Martin WBA Lightweight Title June 22 HoustonTexas

[Shamm]

We don't know what's the outcome of this fight but we can predict what will happen in the fight once we gonna make a good research on both sides. Actually they have the same things they are both undefeated and good fighter inside the ring. And also we are all know that they got a title which is they are recognize in some countries. But for me in this fight maybe tank David can do a good shot that can win against his opponent not in knockout but maybe by unanimous decision. But I think frank martin won't let that happen so this is a good fight to watch.

[Kemarit]

Tank should really take the risk and fight Shakur or Loma or any other name fighter at 135 lbs and should be hiding on the reasoning that he doesn't want to lose his 0. His been well protected already by PBC.

They just obviously giving him more comfort after winning a big fight against Garcia and to be honest, they really need to do that since he can't find some worthy opponent that won't have much risk nowadays because all of the top boxers in their weight division are threats in his clean record. They actually and carefully pick his next opponent so that he won't have a hard time increasing his wins and at the same time keeping his popularity at the peak of his career right now.

As mentioned, Shakur Stevenson or Loma is a good fight for Tank Davis. If he is looking for a good dance partner then that 2 boxers is good for him. But PBC doesn't want to negotiate with them. We haven't heard Davis calling this two fighters for all we know.

So there is no way that they will ignore or continue to cherry pick fighters for Tank. He has been protected for so long already. They need to set him up out of his comfort zone and see the best version of him. Otherwise he will be stuck in this loop and could be wasting the best time of his boxing career by not fighting the best in his division or even afraid to go to 140 lbs because competitions are hard.

I watched the highlights of Martin's fights. He looks like a confident fighter. This might be a weakness against the great counterpunching skills of Gervonta. And although Martin has punching power, it seems Tank is a lot more powerful.

The last couple fights of Martin are only unanimous decisions, although props to him just the same because those were against undefeated fighters. But they aren't really as dangerous as Tank. And then there's also that almost one year of inactivity for Martin. That's a disadvantage especially because he'll be facing Tank right away. He should have just accepted that match against Shakur.

The betting odds look fair to me despite Martin's 5.40 notwithstanding his undefeated record.

It's already given but when interviewed on who Martin thinks is the most powerful he has sparred he did not mention Tank, he mentioned an unknown guy, it's an insult for Tank so Martin will know who hit harder when he faces Tank in the ring.

This is a very good tune fight for Tank an undefeated guy with a good record and for Martin, this is a big challenge, I don't rule an upset because upset can happen to anyone who has power in his hands, this fight is not appealing to boxing fans but it has the promise to become an action-packed fight, every Tank fight is exciting as long as his opponent is willing to slug it out.

[Yatsan]

Not gonna lie but even if Frank is a tough opponent, I guess I would go with Tank on this match up; experience, better knockout artist, absolute power puncher, and agility of course. Anything could still happen indeed but we're talking about subjective opinion and mine this time would be Tank, as I said. Tank grew so fast on his career and what made me think of such way was his fight with Ryan. He's an intelligent boxer and all of his opponents will be having a hard time against him especially at this point that he continues his heavy training on his team. Would be for sure exciting to watch. For me, Martin is still too young to go toe to toe with Tank. He needs to grow more and to polish his skills before he get to Tank's level.

We don't know what's the outcome of this fight but we can predict what will happen in the fight once we gonna make a good research on both sides. Actually they have the same things they are both undefeated and good fighter inside the ring. And also we are all know that they got a title which is they are recognize in some countries.

But I think frank martin won't let that happen so this is a good fight to watch.

I believe this would be ending with a K.O. Both are aggressive in the first place once they get their phasing.Both of their undefeated records are on the line which adds thrill watching and choosing the right fighter to bet in.

Yes, Martin has some good pops in his hands, but I don't think that is enough to rattle Davis here. Gervonta's counterpunching is underrated though, but that's how he defeated most of his opponents as he telegraph their move and then throw that left hook or uppercut.

Martin strength is his volumes but I don't think that is enough to put Tank in a disadvantage position. Martin might look a huge underdog in this fight, but because of Tank's power I would also says that it is fair with that underdog odds for Martin.

If two aggressive boxers face off in the ring, sooner or later someone will going to kiss the canvass. And as you have said, Frank is tough, no doubt about it, looks technically sound and very confident against Tank Davis.

But Tank has all the tools and advantage, the power is crazy and scary and it seems that this is the best weight class for him as his body can still squeeze that 135 lbs of pure muscle. Unlike what we have seen in Ryan not making the wight at 140 lbs. Anyhow, Benavidez vs Gvozdyk will be the main card in this fight and probably this tickets are going to sell and I wouldn't be surprised if it's sold out and PPV numbers is very high.

Initial kick off press conference,



Although there is some issues on the audio on the latter part of the video.

But still you can see that both are animated during the face-off. So there is obviously animosity between the two and so this is going to be a great fight.

Tank is being Tank while it seems Frank Martin is not really in this kind of thrash talk, Tank keeps crashing when Frank is talking so this starts the heat between them that will carry on for the duration of the promotion of the fight.
It has something to do with Frank Martin's interview about their sparring, Matin needs to establish himself Tank will try to bully him in the course of the promotion, unfortunately, he is not like Romero or Ryan Garcia who loves to talk thrash Frank is a straightforward guy so its going to be excited heading to the fight night.

Frank Martin also trash talk, but not the kind that we have seen with the likes of Tank Davis. So he just stand on his ground and just answer what Tank throws as him. They have history already but it is just sparring session.

But not this is very different, but not sure if Frank Martin is ready on what Tank is going to throw as him. Tank's power and then this ability to also adjust in the game. Martin could be technical but I do think that Tank is far more superior in terms of the tools and we might see Martin getting knock out here.

I have seen some of Frank Martin's fights, and he is good compared to Romero, and he has good movement in the ring, the only fighter who posed a big challenge on Tank was Pitbull Cruz, but based on what I see now it looks like Martin can give Tank a tough fight, he is not intimidated just look on their face off he did not even blink or back up when Tank confronts him, he is not afraid of Tank's antics in the ring which is good so we are going to expect a good fight ahead.
But expect a lot of thrash talks. It started with a sparring. They will end it in a real fight in the ring.

I agree, Pitbull was a tough customer for Tank Davis and I think that's the fight that Davis was hit a lot of times in the face, but he shows that he has a good chin as well and was able to eat all that power and then win, although he had injured his hands.

But Martin is a different kind of fighters, sparring should be keep secret though, in my opinion and it should not be used as gauge. But this era is very different, many videos are very leaked by some outside source and then used to hype any fight right now.

Yes, Frank Martin is way better that Rolly Romero if we watch how this two fights. Romero is not that technically adept like Frank Martin. But I think Romero has more power though that Frank Martin. But I don't see Tank backing down from any of his fights, not Romero and obviously not to Frank Martin as he is full of confidence that he will win. And so the boxing fans are, we haven't seen any blue print on how to beat Tank Davis so far, he has not been in any danger in any of his fights like being knock down or something. In the Cruz fight, he just started slow and Cruz was able to take advantage. However, it's a game of chess and Tank was able to read Cruz's movement and caught him time and time again for a decision win.

Pitbull though was a big threat because Tank Davis was injured and probably that's why it seems the Pitbull Cruz is doing great against the Tank Davis. But given if Davis hands is not injured in the fight, it could be end differently and Tank might win by a knockout i reckon.

And as I have said, Martin is good and has the technical abilities and that's why this fight is really intriguing in the beginning. But if we look at Tank's opponents as compare to Martin, the quality is far better that's why I think that Davis will show his best version and could steal a knockout win.

I agree with what you've said. The quality of the past opponents is one of the big factors why Davis is a huge favorite, but I also mentioned he is better than Romero, and he is fully aware of Romero's mistakes that led him to get knocked out; with that, I can say that Frank will give Tank a very challenging fight because he mentioned that he had done a sparring session against Tank and he is fully aware of his power.

I still have Tank as a favorite here, but I will not rule out an upset because Martin can do that if given an opportunity to have the fight his way; I feel that this fight will turn personal for both fighters, the way they dislike each other.

The thread was created on April 6, however, this is only 2 pages hehehe. This scammer Tank has not much fans. This implies that it was Ryan Garcia that brought more than 80% of the fans to watch his fight vs. Tank. I reckon if Tank does not begin showing knockouts before round 5, he might begin losing his fans. This is only my speculation, everyone can argue and disagree but the number of pages of this thread proves what I said heheheh.

[FinneysTrueVision]

The disgustingly corrupt WBA tried to sneak in a rehydration clause so they could handicap Frank Martin. It seems after the backlash they received they reversed their decision. Not only did they hand a title to Tank via email, but they were also trying to give him more of an advantage against an already overmatched opponent.

Tank has always been really popular with the hip hop community, who have almost a cult like admiration for him. He won’t lose support regardless of how much of a fraud his career is, but I also don’t see him becoming more of a mainstream attraction.

It might be because of his dance partner, admit it or not, Martin is not yet a household name. He could be when he was supposedly facing Shakur but he back down and maybe this is one reason why fans are not into him right now. I think it's 50/50 during Tank's fight with Ryan Garcia though, he can bring fans to the arena and watch PPV as Tank is also popular. And with that, it's going to be interesting not just the fight, but how the numbers will turn out to be in terms of PPV and live gates. Not sure if it can even peak at 100k PPV, in my opinion.

[Viscore]

He won’t lose support regardless of how much of a fraud his career is, but I also don’t see him becoming more of a mainstream attraction.

He had his biggest paycheck when he fought Ryan, so he need to choose his opponent, someone who is popular so he'll benefit from that. And there's been a lot of fighters that are interested in him, I guess he'll choose his fight carefully but not to the point that he'll cherry pick to get an easy win. After the Ryan fight, I expect him to carry that momentum for another big one, but turns out he ended up protect his belt.

Anyway, I think Martin is also a good opponent,  though lack of experience but this could be a good test for Davis before getting into the big one.

As per rumor, we have the names of Lomachenko and Stevenson being link to Davis for a possible unification fight, hopefully will happen.

Let's give the fans some time to digest this fight, we still have months to go so maybe fans are not yet into this fight and then we still have the unification fight in heavyweight this week so we have our hands full in the coming weeks before this fight sinks in.

Of course we all know how Ryan promotes every of his fights. But I do agree that this might not be a bigger PPV in numbers are compare to Ryan vs Devin or Ryan vs Tank. Frank Martin doesn't have that name yet, he is still a upcoming fighter in this division lots of promises but I think Tank will take care of him.
