Gervonta Davis vs Frank Martin, live streaming play-by-play updates

Undefeated boxing stars clash tonight, Saturday, June 15th, 2024 as Tank Davis looks to defund his WBA lightweight title against Ghost Martin

Another boxing match that is both cool and important goes down tonight, Saturday, June 15th, 2024, live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, starting at 9PM Eastern only on Amazon Prime PPV. We’ve got undefeated Frank “Ghost” Martin taking on undefeated Gervonta “Tank” Davis. A combined 47-0 with 39 knockouts between them. Rangy southpaw versus heavy-handed southpaw. Someone’s 0 has got to go!

We all know that Martin doesn’t “move the needle” the same way that a Shakur Stevenson or Devin Haney match might. That said, he’s a legitimate top-5 lightweight that’s won in a number of ways, with his last two fights being a bell-to-bell domination of Michael Rivera followed by having to dig deep with a 12th-round knockdown to ensure a win over Artem Harutyunyan. Some props should be given to Davis for not holding out for a big money fight, but instead letting a less well-known, but still deserving name get a crack at a belt.

Davis, on the other hand, is arguably the face of American boxing right now, despite his outside-the-ring controversies. He and Terrence Crawford are the two American men that make most peoples’ pound-for-pound list and with good reason — they’re supremely gifted boxers.

Davis’ recent string of fights has been an absolute who’s who of Mexican-American, Central American and South American lightweights. Every top contender from Mexico, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Cuba and Argentina has run into the Tank these past six years, and aside from Isaac Cruz, every one of them has exited with a KO loss on their record. Tank’s ridiculous 93% finishing rate is one of the reasons he’s as popular as he is.

In the co-main event, we’ve got a fighter that is somehow second billing, despite being an undefeated champion himself, in David Benavidez. The WBC super middleweight interim champion is — at least temporarily — giving up on the division, as he has been unable to secure a fight with Canelo Alvarez, and is instead moving up to light heavyweight to fight Oleksandr Gvozdyk for the interim WBC light heavyweight title.

All in all, a very solid card coming out of Premier Boxing Champions, as there are four belts on the line tonight, starting at 9PM Eastern, live on Amazon Prime PPV.
