- Davis has a good chance of winning the bout, but he may not get his customary knockout finish against a fellow unbeaten fighter.
- Even if Davis does win by knockout, it will likely come in the later rounds after he tires Martin out.
Boxing's main event this weekend takes place in Las Vegas as unbeaten Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin battle for the WBA lightweight title. Davis will be looking to make it 30 straight wins while Martin will be looking to make it 19 in a row in his professional career. Here we take a closer look at Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin and make boxing betting predictions for this title fight from the desert.
The fight will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on June 15, 2024..
Gervonta Davis
Gervonta “Tank” Davis is 29-0, with 27 of his wins coming by knockout. His most recent victory was a seventh-round knockout over Ryan Garcia in April 2023, handing Garcia his first loss as a professional boxer. Davis will be looking to hand Gervonta Davis another first defeat on Saturday when he takes on Frank Martin at the MGM Grand.
Davis will once again have high expectations coming into this bout as he enters as the overwhelming favorite to win, and he should live up to those expectations by attacking Martin's body. Martin is known for eating body shots, but Davis is more than capable of being a busy fighter landing them. As always, Davis should be able to exploit his opponent's weaknesses without much of a threat of being stabbed in return.
Frank Martin
Frank Martin is 18-0 and looking for his biggest win yet on Saturday night. Martin is coming off a win over Artyom Harutyunyan in July 2023, winning by decision in a back-and-forth fight. Now Martin is looking to pull off an upset that will win the gold medal and show the rest of the boxing world that he is capable of beating the best in the sport.
There's no doubt that Martin is one of the toughest fighters in his division. However, he has a weakness in that he is often hit by his opponents. This was seen in his last fight against Harutyunyan and will be seen again in his fight against Tank Davis. The question is how Martin will respond to those moments of weakness and whether he can not only prevent himself from being stopped but also fight back with strikes of his own.
What could work in Martin's favor here is the fact that he fights like a man free from the burden of expectations. Martin is usually favored in fights due to his undefeated record, but against fighters he considers superior, he can also go all out to create his own championship moment.
