Frank Martin is a fighter on the up. He has punching power but is still unproven at the elite level. The fight with Davis will give us some indication of where Martin is at in his fledgling career.

Frank Martin may claim he deserves this fight, but it’s fair to say that the top boxing betting sites aren’t giving him much chance. Martin is the underdog, he is +450 on the money line to win with BetUS.

In the props markets, the oddsmakers see the fight ending early. There is +150 available on the fight going the distance, and -200 on the fight finishing before the end of the 12th Round.

Gervonta Davis Career Breakdown

Gervonta Davis has a professional boxing record of 29-0. Out of his 29 wins, 27 have come inside the distance, with only Isaac Cruz and German Meraz managing to go the distance with the champion. Both of them lost by unanimous decision.

As well as Isaac Cruz, other notable wins for Davis have come against Hector Garcia and Ryan Garcia, who he defeated with a 7th-round KO in a catchweight contest in his most recent fight.

As you might be able to tell from his record, Davis is a big hitter. The Southpaw fighter isn’t nicknamed the Tank for no reason. And at 29 years of age, he is in the prime of his career.

Frank Martin Career Breakdown

Frank Martin is also unbeaten in his professional boxing career, boasting an 18-0 record with 12 wins by KO and six by decision.

Martin’s Resume is nowhere near as impressive as that of Davis. His two most recent fights have gone the distance. In December 2022, he defeated Michel Rivera, and in July 2023, he defeated Artem Harutyunyan, both by unanimous decision.

Like Davis, Martin is also 29 years old and also a Southpaw. With only 18 fights to his name, Martin is a bit of a late developer.

It’s unlikely Martin can match Davis for punching power, and this is also by far the biggest stage the challenger has ever fought on, unlike Davis who is well used to big events like this.

Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin Betting Picks and Predictions

Gervonta Davis has been out of the ring for over a year for reasons we don’t really want to go into. Has the personal upheaval in his life taken a toll? It may have. But Davis also looks the sort of guy who wouldn’t let much bother him.

At 29, we would expect Davis to come into the ring in his usual shape and live up to his reputation as the No.8 ranked pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

As for Frank Martin, he is an unknown quantity at this level. It’s easy to assume that he will lose. But the truth is we don’t really know how Martin is going to perform on the big stage until he gets his chance.

That said, it would be silly to pick Frank Martin to win. But at the same time, we are not picking Gervonta Davis to win at -600.

We don’t see the fight going the distance. One option is to back the fight to end early at -200. And the other, and this is our pick, is for Gervonta Davis to win by KO/TKO/DQ at -165.
