Another unbeaten record will be broken on Saturday as Gervonta Davis defends his WBA lightweight world title against Frank Martin. Can “The Ghost” survive the devastating power of the champion? Here is our Davis vs Martin prediction.
Davis vs Martin Prediction: Will Tank Ever Lose?
Gervonta Davis Preview
Gervonta “Tank” Davis is a professional boxer from the United States, born on November 7, 1994 in Baltimore, Maryland. He is known for his fast and aggressive fighting style, and also his impressive knockout record. Throughout his career, Davis has amassed an impressive 29 wins, 27 of which came by knockout.
Gervonta Davis is a three-division boxing world champion. He won belts in the super featherweight, lightweight, and super lightweight divisions. He is the current holder of the WBA lightweight title, which will be put on the line this weekend.
In addition to his success in the ring, Davis also faced personal difficulties in his life, namely with his wife, as well as legal problems and disagreements with his team. But that never stopped him from dominating in the ring.
“Tank” is considered to be perhaps the most outstanding lightweight puncher of the 21st century. Even star boxers including Ryan Garcia, Rolando Romero, Isaac Cruz, Jose Pedraza, and Yuriorkis Gamboa failed against his knockout power.
One of Davis' main weapons is his signature left-handed punch to the liver. This is how he won his last fight against Garcia.
It is fair to say that his opponent is at a disadvantage here. Continue reading below to see our final Davis vs Martin prediction.
Frank Martin Preview
Frank Martin is an American professional boxer, born in 1995 in Michigan, USA. He began boxing professionally in 2017, after a successful amateur career.
Frank Martin is ranked second in the lightweight division according to the WBA. This will be the first title fight in his career. He has a record of 18-0, with 12 victories coming by knockout. His aggressive fighting style and powerful punches earned him the nickname “The Ghost.”
What distinguishes Martin from other boxers is that he is extremely active on social networks, where he shares news about his training and personal life with his fans. Unlike his opponent and several other well-known young boxers, his digital footprint is actually positive.
In his last three fights, Frank defeated Jackson Marinez (TKO in the 10th round), Michel Rivera by unanimous decision, and Artem Harutyunyan by unanimous decision. Martin is full of ambitions to make a statement and become a world champion this week.
Our Gervonta Davis vs Frank Martin Prediction: A Knockout on the Horizon
As much as we like Frank Martin, we believe that he will become the next victim of Davis' inhumane knockout power. We have to side with the champion for our final Davis vs Martin prediction. But since he is a massive favorite in terms of odds, we have to pick the knockout market, which still provides some value.
Martin is a phenomenal fighter but lacks the experience to overcome Davis. There is a slight chance for a decision here but Davis has already beaten a dozen boxers of Martin's level by knockout. Moreover, knowing how much money he is being paid to fight, Tank cannot afford to disappoint his fans.
