Gervonta “Tank” Davis showed off his physique in a video clip today, but he's already gained weight and looks more shredded than shredded salad He competed in a WBA “legitimate” lightweight title defense against Frank Martin on June 22nd on Amazon Prime Video PPV in Houston, Texas, although this has not yet been officially announced. Tank might panic and take on Martin, but that's because he's a step up from the selective fodder he's been slamming.
Fear or fitness?
Fans on social media believe that Tank Davis may be fostering kittens because he is worried about a fight with Martin. Despite his lack of physical strength, Martin is a step above the mediocre fighters who have had a successful career. For the past 11 years.
Is insecure Tank Davis burying his fears too much by training feverishly for two months in advance? Although Martin is a mid-weight, he is worlds better than Tank's previous three opponents: Ryan Garcia, Hector Garcia, and Rolando “Laurie” Romero.
It's good that Tank (29-0, 27 KOs) is doing well, but making weight with less than two months to go before his fight with “The Ghost” Martin (18-0, 27 KOs) It might not be the wisest thing for him to do. 12KO).
A weak opponent means a weak victory.
That being said, Martin is not an elite level fighter, so Tank Davis can afford to be a little weaker and more depleted for this fight without affecting his performance.Martin looked terrible in his last match against a fringe contender Artem Harutyunyan in July last year.
As such, Tank didn't get much credit for defeating him, beating Floyd Kidd against one of the more admired fighters like Austin Schofield, Raymond Muratala, Shakur Stevenson, Abdullah Mason, and Vasily Lomachenko. It would have been better to fight. .
Time to step up, Tank.
Tank has been world champion since 2017 and has never unified the title against any champion, despite being popular enough to fight anyone. Some see this as clear evidence that he is a calculating cherry picker who carefully chooses his opponents and chooses weaker fighters to take the belt and defend his title.
Fans want to see the 30-year-old Gervonta, who defeated the muscular but slow Martin on June 22, face a better fighter next. It would be a good idea to fight Shakur while Tank is still young. Even if you wait two or three years, the battle will not be easy.
