Comments Thread For: Derrick James Shoots Down Frank Martin vs. Keyshawn Davis: "What's The Point Of That Fight?"

[Boricua181]

Floyd "Kid Austin" Schofield has been calling out Davis for over a year! They're both at the same point in their careers. I think that would be more realistic. That being said, if Spence and Crawford finally meet, Martin vs. Davis would be an outstanding co-main event!

Frank Martin should be targeting Issac Cruz, William Zepeda, Shakur Stevenson, and Tank Davis!

Keyshawn's targets should be Schofield, Jamaine Ortiz, and Ray Muratalla!

You would've been a great match maker for any promotional boxing company. That said I'd still love to see K. Davis vs Martin, firework's are guaranteed.
By the way did you see the announcement that Victor Ortiz vs Eimantas Staniones, has been scheduled to take place on 7/8/2023, firework's are guaranteed in that fight as well?

Both fighters are on their way. Keyshawn Davis needs Frank Martin and not the other way around. Frank and Pitbull Cruz might be on Spence undercard

Derrick James Shoots Down Frank Martin vs. Keyshawn Davis: "What's The Point Of That Fight?"

Hmm....What was the difference of Spence calling out Thurman for a fight?
Or, Crawford calling out Spence?

At the end of the day it's just common everyday hyperbole that does nothing to separate the pretenders from the contenders in boxing.

Spence and James are frauds, and Martin will be known for the company that he keeps.

I did see the news regarding Ortiz vs. Stanionis! Awesome! Not sure if I'm buying the "Long Covid" excuse? I think he's outgrew 147! As far as Martin vs. Davis, the only Davis he should be targeting is Tank Davis! Martin stepped up and fought Ali Rivera! You don't go backwards! Martin went to talk to Team Zepeda after he got the Ko, and Zepeda's team said they liked his approach, so hopefully we get that! I don't understand why Keyshawn has more beef with Martin than Schofield? Schofield on YouTube talking trash about Keyshawn for quite some time!

Not every fight needs to “marinate”. Every fight doesn’t have to be a mega fight. It’s a good match up right now, just make the damn fight. Whoever loses can still go on with their career. So tired of these promoters & coaches moving guys so carefully just to pad their records. Then by the time they fight, and finally lose, the narrative is that they were never really good or their resume was trash. Which most if the time ends up being the case with the way they move guys these days

Disgraceful! Martin ain’t nothing but a duck talking all that BS about wanting all the smoke with the heavy hitters @ lightweight while letting his team make excuses for ducking these fighters. Dude is older than most of these 135 lbs time is now for him not later.

Keyshawn isn't a top fighter in the division yet, he's got 8 fights against nobodies. Martin has worked his way up from prospect to contender to on the cusp of a championship fight.

Maintaining the undefeated record is paramount in this sport doe. The worst part is the length of time they sit around doing nothing is getting longer and longer as months/years pass. Frank Martin's last fight was four months ago and he still has nothing to announce for his next fight. Meaning, even if he announces it at this moment, his last fight to scheduled fight is 6-8 months apart minimum. Just imagine yourself doing nothing for that long period of time.

Yeah, Keyshawn should respect the fact that Martin worked his way up from prospect to being in the position to challenge the top of the division. He should pump his brakes and put in the work to also be in that position. The fighters you named as possible opponents would and should be his path to moving up, except you obviously know my opinion on Ortiz. A lot of these guys that come out of the Olympics think that they can just jump into position immediately, but Keyshawn didn't win the gold medal, so he should expect to work his way up being smart about the experience that he gets in doing so.

[Rebelrbg]

Someone should ask James why his fighters never fight. Spence, Martin, charlo. Once a year if not longer.

Martin fought 3 times in a years time.

What's ironic is that Keyshawn spazzed on Hearn for using his name to boost Andy Cruz, who beat Keyshawn in the Olympics! Check out Keyshawn's Twitter post!
