Although Martin is a heavy underdog, he has a slight reach and a three-inch height advantage. Bettors do not believe Martin’s physical attributes will be enough, though.
Davis has proven time and time again that his small stature packs a lot of power. He’s tough to hit and hits hard. Martin hasn’t faced a boxer of Davis’ ability in the past, so he’s somewhat of an unknown commodity at this level.
It’s a step up in class, but he deserves this spot after winning 18 fights. We’ll only know until Martin steps into the ring with Davis, which presents a huge opportunity for his career.
Gervonta Davis (-680)
Davis is the fastest boxer that Martin will see in his career. He’s incredibly quick and agile, everything you would expect from an elite lightweight boxer. In addition to his agility, Davis has uncanny power for a fighter of his size.
By now everyone knows how hard Davis can hit, but it still catches opponents by surprise. There isn’t another fighter in the lightweight division who punches as hard as Davis. Additionally, the champ is a smarter boxer than he gets credit for sometimes.
He is aggressive but picks his spots well and doesn’t throw recklessly. While Davis may play the earlier rounds safely, he is simply acquiring information about his opponent for a KO in the later stages of the fight.
Davis has knocked out 27 of the 29 fighters he’s beaten in his career! The 29-year-old’s defense has also resulted in avoiding getting KO’d himself. He has above-average head movement and is difficult to hurt.

“Tank” appears ready for the fight and has seemingly been putting in work in the gym to prepare for Martin. He is in terrific shape for the bout on Saturday. There shouldn’t be any concerns with his power or stamina in this contest.
According to his coach Calvin Ford, Davis skipped the Grand Arrivals this week due to a delay. Ford maintains that he will be ready to fight this weekend.
“Watching him in camp, it scares me because of the things he’s doing and his maturity when he gets in that ring. I’ve seen him listen to a conversation, listen to what’s going on, and he’s real focused.”
Frank Martin (+475)
Martin hasn’t fought against a boxer of Davis’ caliber. However, he’s done everything thrown in his direction. Now, it’s time to prove himself against the class of the lightweight division.
Martin is a slick fighter with decent power. He shines with his athleticism, though. Equipped with an IQ better than most in the lightweight division, I expect him to use his head to stay away from a Davis KO in the early rounds.

To pull off the upset, Martin will have to gamble and take chances. He doesn’t match Davis’ abilities outside of a strong inside game. Martin can’t win this fight in the mid-range but has a case for an upset if he can manage to get inside.
While he may be bigger than “Tank”, Martin doesn’t tower over Davis. That would have benefited him greatly, but the size difference isn’t substantial enough to afford him a sizable advantage.
Nevertheless, Martin is athletic and has a chin to fend off Davis through the first eight or nine rounds. Things will get interesting for Martin afterward.
From glimpses inside Martin’s camp, he appears to be in strong form and shape for Davis’ challenge. The challenger is most certainly taking this opportunity seriously. If he can upset Davis, his career will receive a huge boost.
With this in mind, both fighters are expected to be in tip-top shape physically for the fight.
Recent Performances & Form
Davis opened his professional boxing career in 2013 and has yet to lose a bout. His latest win over Ryan Garcia didn’t look like much at the time, but Garcia’s win over Devin Haney changed the dynamics.
Garcia may be stripped of his win due to PED use, but it was nevertheless a solid showing by Davis. “Tank” put him on his back in Round 2 and Round 7, ultimately ending the fight with a vicious body shot.
It was Davis’ third consecutive T(KO) since beating Ronaldo Romero in May 2022. There aren’t any concerns with his form heading into this match on June 15.
Davis’ Last Five Fights:
- WIN vs. Ryan Garcia by KO (April 22, 2023)
- WIN vs. Hector Luis Garcia by TKO (Jan. 7, 2023)
- WIN vs. Rolando Romero by TKO (May 28, 2022)
- WIN vs. Isaac Cruz by Unanimous Decision (Dec. 15, 2021)
- WIN vs. Mario Berrios by TKO (June 26, 2021)
Martin is on the heels of an impressive win over Artem Harutyunyan in July 2023. He outboxed his last two opponents for unanimous decision wins over Michael Rivera and Harutyunyan in Nevada.
And yet, you won’t find a signature win on his resume. Martin is looking to become a household name with a shocking upset over Davis in this fight.
Martin’s Last Five Fights:
- WIN vs. Artem Harutyunyan by Unanimous Decision (July 15, 2023)
- WIN vs. Michael Rivera by Unanimous Decision (Dec. 17, 2022)

Gervonta Davis vs. Frank Martin Prediction and Betting Picks
Let’s delve into my top Davis vs. Martin betting pick for the lightweight contest in Las Vegas! Although the top sports betting sites expect Davis to handle Martin with little resistance, I foresee a closer battle than the bookies indicate.
Martin has a strong enough chin to withstand some early shots from Davis. He has the athleticism to make a fight out of this bout. However, aiming to go the distance with Davis and win via unanimous decision like his past two fights won’t work.
Davis will figure Martin out and find a window to KO him in Round 10. The challenger doesn’t have the size to overwhelm and win on the judge’s scorecards. “The Ghost” has a puncher’s chance, but he can’t go toe-to-toe with Davis for 12 rounds.
There isn’t any betting value on Davis to win the fight at -700. I don’t recommend laying this much juice on a boxing match of this caliber. Martin should turn this into a battle with Davis’ chances in doubt for a round or two.
However, expect the wily Davis to flip the advantage toward his corner after the mid-rounds. He will use his superior boxing experience and IQ to his advantage to outwork Martin. I call for a late KO, so consider backing Davis to win via KO, TKO, or DQ for your top Davis vs. Martin pick at BetUS!
