TANK’S EXORCISES THE GHOST WITH EIGHTH-ROUND KNOCKOUT

Gervonta Davis never fails to elicit a thunderous response from the crowd whenever he secures a knockout victory. The intensity of the violence is both shocking and awe-inspiring. In the recent fight, Tank delivered a devastating one-shot, left hook knockout to Martin, who was left motionless in the corner after enduring a relentless barrage of punches. Martin laid on his back with vacant eyes, barely able to move. This particular moment, where Tank solidifies the haunting finish and leaves you questioning the well-being of his opponent, is undeniably one of the most exhilarating experiences in the entire realm of sports.

WILL MARTIN RESPOND?

In the seventh, Davis unleashed his wrath upon Martin, leaving him in a difficult position. The pressing question now remains: will Martin be able to bounce back, or will he succumb under the pressure?

Gervonta Davis truly excelled in round seven, while Frank Martin struggled immensely.

8.55 p.m. PT / 4.55 a.m. UK

EDGE-OF-THE-SEAT CHESS

Even though Frank Martin was known for his elusive skills, Tank’s powerful and precise punches managed to find their way past The Ghost’s defense. Martin remained unfazed and closed in to deliver his own two-hit combinations, creating an intense and suspenseful battle. The possibility of a knockout punch was always looming, but Martin knew he had to stay strategic in order to avoid the same fate as Davis’ previous opponents.


8.49 p.m. PT / 4.49 a.m. UK

MARTIN’S START ONE OF THE BEST TANK HAS SEEN

Martin’s initiation of the fight was remarkably forceful, quite possibly the toughest challenge Davis has faced since entering the professional realm. Davis tends to begin sluggishly but concludes with brutal force. However, Martin is successfully delivering powerful punches, skillfully maneuvering around the ring, and demonstrating enough athleticism and agility to evade the potent knockout blow that Tank is known for, capable of abruptly ending the match.


8.44 p.m. PT / 4.44 a.m. UK

FRANK MARTIN LANDS PUNCH OF THE ROUND

Gervonta Davis receives significant acclaim for his exceptional power, evident when he left his opponent, Rolando Romero, hanging off the ropes in an unconscious state with one of his powerful counter shots. However, it was Frank Martin who delivered the most impactful punch in the opening round.


8.36 p.m. PT / 4.31 a.m. UK

TANK WINS RING WALK ROUND 10-8

When it comes to entrances, few can rival the electrifying atmosphere created by the enthusiastic US crowds that gather to support Gervonta Davis. Regardless of the location, be it Baltimore, Los Angeles, Atlanta, or Las Vegas, Davis never fails to fill the arenas with eager fans. As his entrance begins for his fight against Frank ‘The Ghost’ Martin, Davis patiently waits while the iconic theme song from Ghostbusters echoes through the venue.


8.25 p.m. PT / 4.25 a.m. UK

MAIN EVENT TIME

The kind of energy-boost that a headliner like Gervonta Davis could provide a show can be really powerful. He’s one of the most intimidating and explosive fighters in all combat sports, and he has crowds throughout the US — from Baltimore to Los Angeles, and Atlanta to Las Vegas — out of their chairs before he’s even made his ring-walk. ‘Tank’ Davis fights Frank Martin tonight in a bout that Martin said would determine the lightweight division’s true alpha.


8.13 p.m. PT / 4.09 a.m. UK

UNANIMOUS DECISION

Benavidez secured a comfortable unanimous decision victory, with scores of 119-109, 117-111, and 116-112, but there are lingering concerns about his ability to maintain a similar pace in light heavyweight fights as he did in the super middleweight division.

At the conclusion of the fight, Benavidez shared his thoughts with Jim Gray, stating, “My rating for the fight would be a 7 out of 10. Oleksandr is an exceptional fighter, having earned an Olympic medal. I believe I performed well in the bout, but now it’s time to look ahead and move on.”


8.04 p.m. PT / 4.04 a.m. UK

BENAVIDEZ BOXES THROUGH MOMENTUM SHIFT

In contrast to past fights, where Benavidez would typically grow stronger as the match went on, Gvodzyk demonstrated his uniqueness by attempting to shift the momentum. However, Benavidez managed to hold his ground and continue boxing. Nevertheless, it appeared that his usual capability to intensify the pace in the latter half of the fight diminished at the 175 weight class.


7.53 p.m. PT / 3.53 a.m. UK

A SPECIAL KIND OF SAVAGE

Benavidez’s TV-friendly style is characterized by his relentless pursuit of inflicting damage, particularly through powerful body shots that have the potential to knock out his opponents. For a specific breed of fierce fighters, there is no more satisfying strike than a solid blow to the body.


7.49 p.m. PT / 3.49 a.m. UK

OLEKSANDR GVOZDYK’S SUCCESS

In the sixth round, Oleksandr Gvozdyk showcases improved performance by unleashing a flurry of punches, seemingly aiming to momentarily halt Benavidez’s aggressive attack. However, despite Gvozdyk’s efforts, Benavidez remains undeterred and manages to land a powerful uppercut on Gvozdyk’s jaw by leaning to one side.


7.46 p.m. PT / 3.46 a.m. UK

THE CROWD EATS UP BENAVIDEZ’S BAD INTENTIONS

David Benavidez’s left hooker-cut was so powerful that it elicited an audible gasp from the crowd. Benavidez frequently demonstrates his ability to throw punches with fierce determination.


7.42 p.m. PT / 3.42 a.m. UK

BENAVIDEZ’S LEAD IS COMFORTABLE

In the fourth round, Gvodyk is on the receiving end of some strong punches delivered by Benavidez. Benavidez has been consistently using a one-two combination targeting both the body and head throughout the fight, and this round is no exception. However, Benavidez’s confidence in his abilities and strength at this weight class, along with a lack of respect for Gvodyk’s performance, prompts him to throw more elaborate combinations. In addition to the one-two, Benavidez now includes two uppercuts and a right hand in his assault. Although he misses with the initial punch, he manages to connect with the uppercuts and right hand before taking a short break.


7.37 p.m. PT / 3.35 a.m. UK

BENAVIDEZ’S BODYSHOTS LOOK PAINFUL

Benavidez continuously lands jabs on Gvozdyk’s face, never backing down and forcing Gvozdyk to constantly retreat while trying to defend himself. Benavidez remains strong and increases his attack with each round, indicating that the situation may worsen for Gvozdyk. Benavidez consistently targets Gvozdyk’s head, displaying a lack of respect for his opponent. Additionally, whenever the opportunity arises, Benavidez swiftly delivers a right hook above Gvodyk’s hip.


7.32 p.m. PT / 3.32 a.m. UK

PRESSURE BUILDS IN ROUND TWO

Despite moving up in weight by seven pounds, Benavidez maintained his impressive hand speed while delivering a series of punishing shots to Gvozdyk’s midsection. Benavidez strategically hammered hooks and landed powerful rights, exploiting Gvozdyk’s weak defense. It was evident that Gvozdyk would need to develop a stronger defense to protect his endurance from being compromised.


7.28 p.m. PT / 3.28 a.m. UK

BENAVIDEZ TARGETS GVOZDYK’S BODY IN THE FIRST

Despite having primarily competed in the super middleweight division throughout his career, David Benavidez effortlessly adapted to the light heavyweight category. Notably, he possessed a height and reach advantage over Oleksandr Gvozdyk. Benavidez effectively utilized his shoulder to defend against Gvozdyk’s attacks and dominated the center of the ring for the majority of the round. Gvozdyk tactically employed a double jab and displayed accuracy with his straight punches while retreating. Benavidez consistently targeted the older fighter’s body throughout the round. As the first round concluded, their performance thus far is recorded.


7.18 p.m. PT / 3.18 a.m. UK

THE LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHTS ARE IN THE RING

David Benavidez and Oleksandr Gvozdyk are moments away from their highly anticipated fight as they make their way to the ring. This marks Benavidez’s debut at the 175-pound weight class.


7.11 p.m. PT / 3.11 a.m. UK

A MONSTER RETURNS

David Benavidez, a potential Fighter of the Year candidate for his victories over Caleb Plant and Demetrius Andrade, is set to face Oleksandr Gvozdyk in his upcoming fight, which is the co-main event tonight. Benavidez has gained significant momentum with his impressive wins and now has various options available to him. He no longer solely relies on a super fight with Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez for the undisputed super middleweight championship. According to Benavidez, Saudi advisor Turki Alalshikh has had discussions with him about a potential fight against the eventual undisputed light heavyweight world champion, whether it be Dmitri Bivol or Artur Beterbiev, who are scheduled to fight in October.

However, Gvozdyk carries the hopes of his nation on his shoulders as he aims to emulate the success of fellow Ukrainians Vasiliy Lomachenko, Oleksandr Usyk, Denys Berinchyk, and Serhii Bohachuk, who have all achieved notable victories in 2024. As the next prominent Ukrainian boxer, Gvozdyk is determined to continue this winning streak. On the other hand, Benavidez remains confident that he will be the one to end Ukraine’s impressive run.


7.06 p.m. PT / 3.06 a.m. UK

SCORES ARE IN
The point deduction didn’t matter too much in the end as Alberto Puello squeaked a split decision win over Gary Antuanne Russell with scores of 115-112 and 114-113 against 109-118.

7.01 p.m. PT / 3.01 a.m. UK

LOW BLOW

Gary Antuanne Russell was knocked down to one knee from a low blow at the end of the 12th round, courtesy of a left hand to the cup. Puello capitalized on Russell’s recovery and delivered a series of powerful left hooks, concluding the fight on a strong note.


6.42 p.m. PT / 2.42 a.m. UK

POINT DEDUCTION FOR PUELLO

Without any prior warning, the referee deducted a point from Alberto Puello for holding, which greatly benefited Gary Antuanne Russell by shifting the momentum back in his favor at a crucial moment in the fight.


6.35 p.m. PT / 2.35 a.m. UK

BLOGGED TOO SOON

It appears that my impulsive reaction in the previous note was premature, as Alberto Puello has managed to regain some ground in the fight with his effective counterattacks, making the competition more evenly matched despite still possibly being behind.


6.20 p.m. PT / 2.20 a.m. UK

GARY ANTUANNE RUSSELL BUILDS AN EARLY LEAD

CARLOS ADAMES GETS THE W

Adames was granted a unanimous decision by the judges.


5.59 p.m. PT / 1.59 a.m. UK

12TH LIKE THE 6TH

The twelfth round bore the closest resemblance to the sixth round, as it finally showcased some action. I must confess, the exhilaration of hearing the end-of-fight klaxon was truly satisfying. Let’s eagerly await the outcome, proceed to the next round, and edge closer to the double-header.


5.52 p.m. PT / 1.52 a.m. UK

THE CROWD GOES MILD

Gervonta Davis and David Benavidez have already made appearances on the big screen, but due to the lack of audience, the cheers were few and far between. The atmosphere at some of the major boxing matches in Las Vegas can be unpredictable, as fans often arrive late to the events. Unfortunately, in this case, they aren’t really missing out on much as the Gausha and Adames fight is not worth the attention.


5.49 p.m. PT / 1.49 a.m. UK

TRUTH BE TOLD …

The fight reverted back to being quite unpleasant.


5.41 p.m. PT / 1.41 a.m. UK

THE ACTION PICKED UP IN THE SIXTH

The situation took a turn in the sixth round when the fighters intensified their speed and began delivering powerful blows.


5.35 p.m. PT / 1.30 a.m. UK

CARLOS ADAMES EDGES AHEAD OF TERRELL GAUSHA

During the initial stages of their WBC world middleweight title fight, Carlos Adames managed to outperform Terrell Gausha, who exhibited an even lower level of activity, with his limited output.


5.20 p.m. PT / 1.20 a.m. UK

TANK WILLING TO SWAP ROLES WITH BENAVIDEZ IN THE FUTURE

During an interview with All The Smoke Productions, Gervonta Davis suggested the possibility of another double-header event with David Benavidez. However, this time they would switch up the fight order, with Benavidez taking the main event spot as the Mexican Monster, and Davis participating in the co-feature. The clip was aired on the ATS_Fight account on X.

“I’m willing, you know, we swap it,” he told host Stephen Jackson, former NBA champ. “He [the] main event, and I go on his undercard.”


5.10 p.m. PT / 1.10 a.m. UK

THE FOUR-FIGHT MAIN CARD BEGINS

Jimmy Lennon Jr., renowned for his timeless elegance, gracefully commences the spectacle, presenting a captivating showdown for the WBC world middleweight championship.

5.03 p.m. PT / 1.03 a.m. UK

ACCURACY OVER ACTIVITY

Compubox data sent to Boxing News highlighted a key aspect of the Davis and Garcia bout storyline. According to statistician Ben Chan, Garcia threw 225 punches more than Davis, but Davis managed to land 30 more punches.


4.52 p.m. PT / 12.52 a.m. UK

DAVIS DEDICATES WIN TO THE MEMORY OF A FAMILY MEMBER

Davis, with tears welling up, mentioned that his cousin had just passed away. He conveyed to PBC presenter Jordan Plant that his performance was dedicated to her.


4.45 p.m. PT / 12.45 a.m. UK

ELIJAH GARCIA AND KYRONE DAVIS BATTLE

In my opinion, Kyrone Davis seemed to have outperformed Elijah Garcia in their middleweight 10-round fight. We are currently awaiting the judges’ scores. Davis receives one score of 97-93, which appears favorable. However, things get a bit questionable when Garcia is awarded a strange score of 98-92. Davis is left feeling anxious until a second score of 97-93 is announced in his favor, resulting in a split decision victory.


4.30 p.m. PT / 12.30 a.m. UK

RYAN GARCIA COMMANDS A LOT OF TALK AMONGST MEDIA, INDUSTRY BACKSTAGE

Ryan Garcia is causing a stir among media members and industry insiders backstage, despite not participating in tonight’s fight. He has been making reckless comments about Caleb Plant’s wife, Jordan, on the social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter). It could become problematic for Garcia as he is attending the event tonight, and so is Caleb. Caleb has shown in the past that he is not afraid to confront others, as he slapped Jermall Charlo at an event last year. It is possible that Caleb may approach Garcia to seek an explanation for his problematic comments or even start a physical altercation either in the arena or backstage. I will keep you updated on any potential noteworthy incidents happening outside the ring.


4.22 p.m. PT / 12.22 a.m. UK

4.10 p.m. PT / 12.10 a.m. UK

MAGSAYO A MENACE

Despite a slight decrease in his activity level during the fourth round, Magsayo consistently delivered powerful shots throughout the fight, primarily focusing on Ramirez’s body. As the fifth round unfolded, Magsayo outperformed Ramirez by a nearly 2:1 ratio, landing 22 shots out of 54 thrown, while Ramirez only managed to land 12 shots out of 41 thrown.


4.01 p.m. PT / 12.01 a.m. UK

3.45 p.m. PT / 11.45 p.m. UK

MAGSAYO vs RAMIREZ NOW ON DECK

Scheduled to box imminently are Mark Magsayo, a protege of Manny Pacquiao, and Eduardo Ramirez, a resilient Mexican boxer. Both fighters are super featherweights and are set to engage in an intense 10-round bout.

Viloria’s talent is undeniable, and it is evident that he is one to keep an eye on after such an explosive performance.


2.35 p.m. PT / 10.35 p.m. UK

BETWEEN FIGHTS IN THE US, BEN WHITTAKER CATCHES THE EYE BACK IN THE UK

As someone based in the US but hailing from London, I make it a point to stay updated on the British boxing scene. There has been a fighter who has caught my attention for quite some time now, and he exudes immense potential to become a superstar – Ben Whittaker. While opinions may vary on whether his showboating is disrespectful (I personally don’t think so) or downright hilarious (which I find it to be), it undeniably divides the boxing community on Twitter and keeps him in the spotlight. Today, Whittaker’s playful behavior led to an unfortunate incident where he was butted, but he handled it with grace, quickly recovering and returning to his corner. Once again, this incident has become a viral moment for the promising light heavyweight prospect.


2.20 p.m. PT / 10.20 p.m. UK

Brayan Gonzalez delivers an impressive debut performance at the bank, showcasing no signs of nervousness, as he emerges victorious against James Mulder by unanimous decision. Overflowing with excitement, Gonzalez leaps onto a neutral corner to celebrate, while a few pockets of fans cheer from the mostly vacant MGM Grand Garden Arena.


2.01 p.m. PT / 10.01 p.m. UK

IT’S NOT ALL ONE-WAY TRAFFIC

Despite getting knocked down in the first round, Mulder managed to recover and deliver a clever shot to Gonzalez’s chin, showing some resilience in the second round. However, with this being only a four-round fight, Mulder still has a significant challenge ahead of him.

OUR FOURTH FIGHT OF THE NIGHT ARRIVES

To me, it seems like there are two walkouts resembling a pair of briskets on legs.

LOOKING AROUND AT OTHER MEDIA MEMBERS ON PRESS ROW AND WONDERING WHO ELSE IS THINKING BACK TO THAT BRISKET


1.46 p.m. PT / 9.46 p.m. UK

I’M STARTING TO THINK ABOUT FOOD

As I patiently await the fourth fight of the evening, hunger pangs begin to stir in my stomach. Rumor has it that a delightful buffet will be served in the media ballroom in a couple of hours. Occasionally, the offerings are quite satisfying. Just last week, there was an irresistible brisket that I shamelessly devoured. It’s safe to say that being a buffet with Alan Dawson present is a challenging feat.


1.39 p.m. PT / 9.39 p.m. UK

1.30 p.m. PT / 9.30 p.m. UK

TANK-MARTIN SPARRING IS ONE OBVIOUS NARRATIVE

During a break in the event, the organizers are playing a promo on the screen above the ring for the upcoming fight between Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin. The promo highlights the fact that these fighters had sparred in the past and how Davis has been using that experience to mess with Martin’s head. During the press conference in May, Davis and Martin started off with intense trash-talking and mind games. One of Davis’ mind games involved showing Martin a video on his phone, suggesting it revealed a weakness in Martin’s defense against body shots. However, when I recently watched Martin train at the Pound-For-Pound boxing club in Las Vegas, he dismissed Davis’ actions and stated that there was nothing significant in the video. Martin believed that Davis was simply trying to manipulate fans and the media.


1.15 p.m. PT / 9.15 p.m. UK

WE HAVE OUR FIRST FIRST-ROUND KNOCKOUT OF THE NIGHT!

Daniel ‘Iceman’ Blancas demonstrated that skills can triumph over experience as he improved his record to 10-0 (5 KOs) by dominating the seasoned veteran Pro Schwartz. It was an impressive performance by Blancas, as he secured the victory in just one round, making the ring walks appear longer than the actual fight. This win is a significant achievement for Blancas, who is only 22 years old, and showcases his continuous growth and potential in the super middleweight division.
