00:53The hard-hitting and renowned five-time three-weight division world champion
00:58and the current undefeated reigning and defending WBA lightweight champion of the world.
01:05Introducing Gervonta Tate Davis!
01:16The bell in round one and Davis having a little fun with the hall.
01:21Well, Martin says he's going to spook the entire division and put it on notice.
01:25Here's a guy who has some of the best footwork you will ever see.
01:28Joe, who's good at using the chin for Davis.
01:31Of course, it's all about low output, high accuracy.
01:34Typical of a Gervonta Tate Davis fight.
01:37On his back foot, just seeing what Martin has to offer.
01:40Martin trying to establish the jab.
01:42And Martin's a really good one just now.
01:45He's the only one who's been landing so far with jabs.
01:47There's a jab from Tate.
01:49But Martin's been landing the left hand to the body.
01:52Yeah, both fighters really.
01:53Hands were low and then explosive.
01:56Especially that left hand. He's so quick with it.
01:58Got a good body shot.
01:59Martin.
02:00Taking his second round and left hand.
02:05We got a little replay of Martin.
02:07There's a good straight left hand off the jab.
02:09I'll show you, although Martin landed quite a few times.
02:12He's making Frank Martin work.
02:18It happened against Ryan Garcia, Roley Romero.
02:21Supposed to be a 50-50 fight against the then unbeaten Michelle Rivera.
02:25He took Rivera to the body by Tank Davis.
02:28Davis missed with the lead left from Frank Martin.
02:33You can just sense that anything can happen at any given moment.
02:36Yeah, you need to be so alert.
02:38And there's the lead left hand by Davis.
02:40Bounced off the high guard of Martin.
02:42Keep it up for 12 rounds.
02:43Not just keep it up, but get the respect of Tank with a hard shot.
02:51Every time, run him down.
02:53Because, again, the strategic patience.
02:56But Frank Martin, meanwhile, wants to continue doing this.
03:00Punching combinations.
03:01Make a mistake to open up and land a big shot.
03:04He likes to tire out Frank Martin by keeping him on guard all the time.
03:08You wonder if that'll happen with an athlete like Frank Martin.
03:11Same here.
03:12It's only round number three.
03:14Exactly.
03:15There's a nice left hand from Davis.
03:18And he actually heard him say that he didn't feel well in the corner.
03:22He does.
03:23And there's the jab, and there's that counter left.
03:25Jab to the body by Davis.
03:27Two over the top by Martin.
03:30Utilize his ring IQ and his boxing.
03:33Yes.
03:34Not even so much as an exciting fighter.
03:35Good combination lands from Martin.
03:37Tank Davis.
03:38The career of Tank Davis.
03:40And Davis, though, beginning to unload again.
03:43Martin able to escape the ropes.
03:45Martin, two to one, outlanding Gervonta Tank Davis.
03:53Gervonta Davis trying to create an opening.
03:55The feint right there.
03:57Guard, and he turned.
03:59Beautiful counterpunch right there from Martin.
04:02He had his right hand down, and that left hand almost hit him.
04:05There.
04:06Beautiful.
04:07Now, that was the center of the ring.
04:09He's going fast.
04:11Yes, he is.
04:13Beautiful body shot by Davis.
04:15Let him go, Frank.
04:17He's got Martin leading, taking those rounds.
04:20One, two, three, back to the jab.
04:22Moving to the side, not giving Davis any.
04:25Huge edge for Martin.
04:28Beautiful, high-accuracy, explosive counters.
04:31The left uppercut, wow.
04:33Martin was a wrestler.
04:35Lands for Davis.
04:37Goes downstairs.
04:39Went public on social media, predicted a ninth round knockout.
04:43Now Davis beginning to open up.
04:54Good escape by Martin.
04:58Yeah, don't stay out of the ring, son.
05:06And he said the whole fight is a trap.
05:08You ask Davis, he goes, that's not a trap.
05:1039 total punches compared to his time in that jab room.
05:15Uppercut right hook.
05:18By Davis.
05:24Here we go, Tank, tracking Martin down.
05:27There was the right hook, that was the best in this fight.
05:29He pulled straight back, you didn't notice that.
05:31But that's Frank Martin again, always clinching.
05:33Yeah.
05:38And you heard Calvin Ford say, look, we won.
05:41By Tank, and it was a solid win.
05:43Nice lead left hand by Martin.
05:45Yeah, he gets the best ever connect percentage against Tank.
05:48Davis was Leo Santa Cruz, but Davis knocked him left in the first half of this 12-round affair.
05:56And Tank lands a chopping left hand.
05:58He just let out that jab, he's got to get back on that jab.
06:00There's the jab and the left follow-up left from Davis.
06:04A minute left here in the first half of the fight.
06:08Based on the output, right, guys?
06:10I would not disagree with that, although Tank is having his break.
06:14We're heading into the second half of the fight.
06:20You need all these rounds, you hear what I'm saying?
06:22You hear what I'm saying?
06:24Yeah, here we go. Here's Tank.
06:26There, a little slip, and here's Tank again.
06:29He feinted the left hand, went to the right uppercut, feinted that, and then landed.
06:34But not by much.
06:35And we begin the second of a battle of unbeatens.
06:38Gervonta Tank Davis defending.
06:40Who has stuck to his game plan, has had success with his footwork, the jab, the mobility.
06:46But now his fight is in the second half of these fights.
06:49And that was great right there from Frank Martin.
06:51I know he does not want to open up. He has to keep him busy.
06:54Oh, there's a left hand right by Davis.
06:57Martin just avoiding that counter, but now Martin has forced the wrestle.
07:02And the referee picking them up.
07:04But Martin doing the veteran thing when Davis is entering what for him is a danger zone.
07:10A left uppercut like that, or a straight left hand.
07:13Single shots, yeah.
07:15He's looking for a double jab left from Davis.
07:17Now Davis moves to the center of the ring again.
07:20There's the, trying to create the angle.
07:25Oh wow, standing in front of Davis like that, high guard.
07:31Davis misses one, but then follows up with another left hand.
07:35And Frank Martin forced to retreat on the back foot, but Martin unable to.
07:39The pressure is building.
07:41Yes, he's being more stationary now, Frank Martin.

08:11Just missing with the left and it's on cue.
08:14It's round seven.
08:16You go this way, this way.
08:21There's that, look, Frank missed that left hand as Frank Martin was off balance.
08:26Here's that little run on the ropes right here.
08:28That one hit him a little behind the head for turning his head.
08:31And it's those body shots that are doing damage.
08:33That's right.
08:34Round seven, tank Davis through with 30 punches.
08:37He was 19 with seven body shots.

08:45Yeah, he stopped doing that.
08:47Martin still has a slight advantage in terms of total punches landed,
08:52but the gap is closing.
08:54And Davis double left hand.
