Comments Thread For: Frank Martin Maintains He Didn't Duck Stevenson, Withdrawal Reason Not Revealed

[tomhawq]

Let's see him fight Delos Santos then. They're both available. Their last respective fights were only one week apart, so there's zero problem with time scheduling. Like one poster say, same PBC house, same street, same backyard, same kitchen, same uncle Al, same landlord Espinoza. What more issues could arise here.

Maybe Frank is content fighting Harutyunyan types.

All I can say Fam, is you better be fighting Tank next!

Unless you’re fight tank (for the money) there’s no good reason to turn down the opportunity to fight for a Legit title as well as a career high payday.

He ducked Stevenson in the same way Pit Bull Cruz did and it's blatant.

This Charlo did not duck Tszyu he took the payday of a lifetime.Unless he is getting in there w/ Tank this is a duck .............

Who would have thought Martin would turn down a fight he himself had been mentioning every time he's interviewed. It's not even something started by TR/ESPN. It was ordered by the WBC. Perfect motivation to make sure you don't lose it.

At least, guys like Pitbull and others don't mention Stevenson's name. Frank does/did. And there was never any ordered fights in those cases.

Frank Martin can now go back to his singing gig. Unless it was a mandatory fight, I see no benefit in Stevenson fighting this no name boxer. Some say the PPV gate would have been through the roof! All seriousness aside, was this fight even scheduled to be on TV? An ESPN filler? Oh well - - enough chatter about Frank Martin and now everyone can forget about him and his zero traction career.

If all he will say is he is not ducking--that is su****ious. We thought Martin was ready for the big time.

After Martin's last performance, I can envision no scenario where he beats Shakur. His team probably felt the same way.
