BREAKING: Frank Martin SPEAKS On Why Lamon CAN’T BEAT Gervonta In Rematch

The boxing world is abuzz with a bold new take as Frank Martin has broken his silence, delivering a scathing assessment of Lamont Roach’s chances in the upcoming rematch against Gervonta “Tank” Davis. In a stunning interview just moments ago, Martin declared, “Roach won by luck last time—there’s no way he beats Gervonta again!” The fiery comments have ignited fresh controversy ahead of their August showdown.

Martin’s Blunt Prediction

At 03:50 PM +07 today, Martin (18-1, 12 KOs), the rising lightweight contender who fell to Davis by KO in June 2024, spoke to Boxing Insider via a live stream from his training camp. “Lamont got lucky in that draw,” Martin said, shaking his head. “That oil-in-the-eye mess in Round 9? It saved him. Tank was dominating, and Roach couldn’t handle the pressure. In the rematch, Gervonta’s going to finish him—mark my words!” Martin’s confidence stems from his own experience facing Davis, where he lasted until the eighth round before being knocked out.

The remarks target the controversial March 1, 2025, fight, which ended in a majority draw (114-114, 114-114, 115-113 for Davis) after a disputed non-knockdown moment. Martin argues that Roach’s performance relied on that fluke incident, dismissing the challenger’s claims of a stolen victory.

The Build-Up to the Rematch

Davis (30-0-1, 28 KOs) and Roach (25-1-2, 10 KOs) are set to clash again on August 16, 2025, at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, a bout already generating massive buzz. Roach has insisted he won the first fight and is training to prove it, while Davis aims to solidify his dominance. Martin’s comments add fuel to the fire, with many seeing his perspective as a jab at Roach’s legitimacy as a contender.

Martin, who has been vocal about his own rematch hopes with Davis, suggested Roach lacks the skill to compete. “I took Tank deeper than Lamont ever did,” he boasted. “Roach got a gift decision—Gervonta’s too sharp, too powerful for him to handle twice.”

Reactions Pour In

Social media platforms like X are lighting up with responses. Fans are split—“Martin’s right, Roach lucked out!” versus “Lamont’s got heart—prove him wrong, Frank!” Former champion Shakur Stevenson chimed in on X, tweeting, “Martin’s salty, but he’s got a point—Tank’s on another level.” Roach’s camp has yet to reply, but the pressure is mounting as the rematch nears.

PBC officials confirmed the fight remains on track, with early PPV estimates suggesting over 300,000 buys, boosted by the ongoing drama. Some speculate Martin’s comments could push Davis to deliver a statement knockout.

What’s Next?

With Martin’s bold call-out and the rematch just over two months away, all eyes are on Las Vegas. Will Roach silence his critics, or will Davis prove Martin’s prediction with a decisive finish? This clash is shaping up to be a defining moment in the lightweight division.
