Frank Martin says he believes Gervonta “Tank” Davis “made a mistake” in choosing Gervonta to defend his WBA “regular” lightweight title on June 15th.
Martin regrets choosing him after suffering the first loss of his career to the 29-year-old Tank when they fight next month on Prime Video's PBC pay-per-view at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. I'm thinking of getting it. “Ghost” Martin is going to prove he's more than just a stepping stone fighter for Tank to look good.
Tank (29-0, 27 KOs) has been manipulated by promoters and management throughout his 11-year professional career, but one wonders why he is finally facing a real threat after all these years. You should think so.
PBC management had no choice but to use him alongside Martin (18-0, 12 KOs) because they had partnered with a new broadcast partner in Prime Video, and their cards Because it has to be in good shape.
That's not going to happen unless a fighter like Tank Davis faces an opponent with actual talent and the undercard is stacked. It's hard to believe that the best name on Tank Davis' resume is Isaac Crews, because he's fought so many fighters that were better than him.
Some blame Mayweather Promotions' previous promoters for protecting Tank Davis from his talented opponent at 135, but PBC needs to put on a good show on Prime Video PPV Because of this, we cannot continue to do that.
The 29-year-old Detroit native is fresh off a 12-round unanimous decision win over Artem Harutyunyan last July, and prior to that, he beat Michel Rivera in an impressive performance that has many boxing fans on their radar in 2022.
Martin believes Tank Davis made a mistake in selecting him.
“I got a chance to show the world what I'm about. Thank you to Gervonta Davis for coming into the fight. “I think they messed me up going into this fight. But I'm grateful for this opportunity to show the world what I'm about,” Frank Martin said of his title shot next month at Premier Boxing Champions. Ta. On June 15th, he will face WBA “regular” lightweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis on PBC PPV.
“I'm ready to go out and shock the world and do what I do and what people think I can't do,” Martin said.
