Former welterweight world champion Andre Berto is confident that Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis will have no trouble defending his WBA ‘regular’ lightweight title against Frank Martin this Saturday night. Berto believes that the bright lights and attention surrounding the fight will be too much for Martin to handle, leading to his downfall in the ring against the powerful Tank Davis.
Although Tank Davis has been out of the ring for 14 months, Berto is not concerned about the impact of the layoff on Davis. Davis last fought in April of last year when he defeated Ryan Garcia, and Berto believes that Davis’ skillset and experience will be more than enough to overcome any ring rust. However, facing a formidable opponent like Martin, who has an undefeated record, poses a challenge for Davis that he has not encountered before in his career.
Berto acknowledges the role of Mayweather Promotions in Davis’ career, noting that they strategically maneuvered Davis through the ranks before he ventured out on his own. Davis’ transition to facing tougher opponents outside of the protection of Mayweather Promotions remains to be seen, and Berto is curious to see how he will fare against the competition in the lightweight division.
Berto highlights Davis’ speed, strength, and solid fundamentals as key factors that give him an edge in the fight against Martin. Davis is no stranger to high-pressure situations and big events, while Martin is relatively untested on such a grand stage. Berto emphasizes that the combination of Davis’ skill, power, and comfort in big fights will be too much for Martin to handle, ultimately leading to a victory for Tank Davis.
Andre Berto’s prediction of Gervonta Davis emerging victorious against Frank Martin reflects his belief in Davis’ capabilities and experience in high-stakes fights. While Martin presents a formidable challenge for Davis, especially considering his long layoff, Berto is confident that Davis will showcase his full range of skills and come out on top in this highly anticipated matchup.
