Underwhelming.

Only idiots want Tank to leave the company that he just cleared over 41 million with against Ryan and sign with a failing company and accept an offer for a 15 million flat fee to fight a fake boxer who cant fight in his own country because he's a steroid cheat. Yeah ok!!!

Tank only made that much due to Ryan Garcia if you believe Tank deserves 40m+ a fight or anywhere close to that you are deluded he is not "the face of boxing" like his muppet fans protest non stop (if they say it enough it might become true right) at least Benn is pretty well known even if it is for a ****ty reason. Tank gets a pass well too much for his no name resume he's nearly 30 years old and will not fight anybody.

Agree wholeheartedly, and Michel Rivera was no slouch either! Martin is legit! I saw him drop, and beat Vergil Ortiz Jr. at 141 in the amateurs! This will probably be a more difficult fight for Tank than Ryan Garcia was!

Tank will run into some problems, but Martin has lapses in confidence, plus what happened to Spence (Martin’s promoter) will be a distraction.

Decent match-up. Martin's inactivity will be his undoing, but he's fortunate that Davis has also been inactive. I like that this is a match-up of southpaws, which hopefully means less caginess.

That shouldn't be a factor. Ryan Garcia beat Duarte, so he should know Derrick James is legit! If anything, he should know that Spence admitted that he wasn't living a real Champion's lifestyle, blowing up to 190, drinking, etc.! That should've opened his eyes, if anything!

Shakur only has one fight left on his contract with TR! Let's hope we get Tank vs. Stevenson later this year!!!

[Bronx2245]

Don’t you know the difference between real offer and a publicity stunt? When has a fight ever gotten done by sending an offer to take directly? That offer should go to one person and one person only. If Eddie really wanted the fight he’d go through proper channels to get it done.

Notice how quickly Hearn sent an offer to Tank, but not to Boots?

[bcalvert1]

Hardly exciting. Pity he ran from Benn....

You do know Benn fights at 147-154 right? Tank is barely fighting at 135-140

Martin has shown that he can be out hustled a bit but has the tools to adjust. Good matchup between two technical punchers.
