Calling it Now: Frank Martin vs Tank Davis in December

[Hustle]

I think it’s a good fight but can’t see it happening. The risk vs reward doesn’t make sense for Tank. Martin is a talented fighter but he isn’t a name, isn’t a draw and doesn’t even have a belt. What does he bring to the table?

The same thing that Rolly Romero and Issac Cruz brought to the table.... No titles.


nobody at 135 brings belts to the table but haney. And Tank dont want that.

Shakur is the best fight at 135. Tank don't want that

So who is he Tank supposed to fight thats a name or brings titles to the table?

Tank is out of Hispanics. Time to fight a live body

davis has been dealing with serious legal issues this year. he was in jail for several months for violating parole. I'm not 100 percent sure but I think he is still in the big house LMAO! he ain't fighting again this year.

[anonymous2.0]

Highly doubtful. Tank's in jail and when he gets out he's going to do a tune up fight so no Frank Martin (yet). And I don't see Isaac Cruz fighting Martin either because Cruz wants his Tank rematch and he's not endangering that by fighting a legit threat.

[brettWall]

It better happen this year. Otherwise, if the Tank fight happens one year late, the Shakur duck label will still hold. It will never disappear. It's sad for him because losing to Shakur is not as bad as losing to De Los Santos, Isaac Cruz, Keyshawn, Harutyunyan, etc.

His only option now is Tank Davis. And it better happen ASAP.

[HandsofIron]

Since Haney's moving up to 140 and most likely letting go of the belts, all of the top 135 talent are vying for some of that vacated, lightweight gold.

Why fight a killer like Tank or a master boxer like Shakur to win a title when one can fight a journeymen for an easy vacant belt? Plus, said fighter can make some decent cash along the way until it's time to unify.

They’re both bigger names than Martin. I rate Martin above both but he’s hardly known.

Tank murders Haney.

I think they’ll make the Pitbull rematch, they didn’t put him chief support to Crawford-Spence for nothing.

Just speculating here. But when DAZN made that offer to Wilder, Showtime paid over the odds to show Wilder-Breazeale. Could be a ****-blocking ploy here.

Obviously Martin is not Wilder though and the $$ Haymon/Showtime would put up for him would be a lot less. But it's probably more than Arum was offering.

[tomhawq]

Arum hasn't been paying cheap for the last couple of years now. He spent huge amount of money investing on Crawford, only to fail recovering the investment.

Even Eddie Hearn was surprised to learn that Jose Ramirez was getting paid handsomely by Arum when Eddie was trying to make the Benn vs Ramirez fight. Hearn's offer was a lot less. Ramirez turned it down.

Both are bigger names now. They werent pre tank fight. Cruz and romero werent even headling cards before they fought tank. Frank is.

Tank already beat pitbull. Time to fight somebody live. No more prototype Hispanics

Its more glory and more money in a Shakur fight than a vacant title fight against to be announced

You never pass a opportunity to fight a p4p fighter. Especially when it's a title fight
