Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson to Gervonta Davis: 'Shut Up and Fight Me'

[CPNUTKnockoutFreshMart]

Tank made another rehydration clause. This is a total joke. Worse than Floyd dictating the gloves Maidana wore.

**** Sugar tank. Hes a joke now.

Really, against Martin ?

Really, against Martin ?

Yes lmao

This **** is gettijf out of hand. If you need to ask for a rehydration clause youre fighting in the wrong weight division

Stevenson is a boring fighter. His last fight really brought his stock down especially after talking too much ***** before the fight. Majority of boxing fans don't wanna see his style of fights.

Tank is hiding in the closet terrified.

[Nightfall]

Stevenson still begging. BTW Frank Martin didn’t fight him because he was told that he’s up next for the Tank Davis fight bg. Martin who is bigger and stronger made the right decision

[SteveM]

Yes lmao

This **** is gettijf out of hand. If you need to ask for a rehydration clause youre fighting in the wrong weight division

Can't stand Tank's attitude - but maybe Martin is in the wrong division?

[sammybee]

The Saudis should make the Shakur vs Gervonta fight. That score needs to be settled.

[Bronx2245]

Yes, Yes, Y'all! Talk your talk Shakur! Brick City Stand Up! Tank, make it happen! MAN UP!!!

WBA adds, then removes rehydration clause from Gervonta Davis vs Frank Martin
The WBA are reportedly looking to institute fight day weight checks going forward
By Patrick Stumberg May 16, 2024, 7:54pm EDT

While the eyes of the boxing public remained firmly fixed on Saturday’s undisputed showdown between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, something extremely bizarre developed elsewhere, starting with Frank Martin’s claim yesterday that the WBA had instituted a rehydration clause for his June 15th lightweight title fight against Gervonta Davis.

Davis (29-0, 27 KO) took to Twitter to deny any involvement, while Errol Spence Jr claimed it was a new WBA rule and Dan Rafael claimed that while the WBA was planning to institute fight day weight checks, that wouldn’t be in effect for Davis vs Martin (18-0, 12 KO). WBA chief Gilberto Mendoza then told Chris Mannix that there would be a “12-pound rehydration limit” based on “recent events.” Mendoza did not elaborate on what those events may be and The Ring’s Jake Donovan claimed to have heard from “more than two dozen fighters/teams who have WBA sanctioned fights coming up” without a single one reporting a rehydration clause.

Featherweight champion Raymond Ford, who meets Nick Ball on June 1st, said “Hell no” when asked if he had a rehydration clause and vowed to enter the ring at 160 pounds.

Finally, Donovan chimed back in to report that there had been a rehydration clause, but the WBA “agreed to table it.” As far as I can tell, that’s the end of it for now; Davis and Martin should be able to pump themselves back up to their hearts’ content.

I’ve said it before, but stuff like this is why the WBA’s brand of incompetence and corruption is better than the WBC’s. At least theirs tends to be the fun kind of ****show.

I think it's a good idea moving forward! A 2nd day weigh-in with a 15lb. rehydration limit. Do the 2nd day weigh-in the morning of the fight! They should announce the new rule for 2025 and beyond!

I agree. tank 30 fooking years old and hasn't fought any top guys.
