Stopping Everyone In His Way
Davis is one of the most explosive boxers in the lightweight division, and his form stacks up brilliantly for this fight. He comes off a knockout win over Ryan Garcia, who subsequently won his fight against Devin Haney. That fight was over in the seventh round when Davis had a solid advantage on the judges’ scorecards.
It was his third consecutive stoppage win, beating Hector Luis Garcia and Rolando Romero by TKO. They didn’t pose much of a threat to the best boxer in the division, and Martin might not either.
It’s why Davis vs Martin boxing odds have Davis at -700, so the sportsbook expects him to win.
Bettors should be confident of a Davis victory, but there is always an element of unknown when facing unbeaten fighters.
Davis, who has spent time in prison, faces a long time of redemption, but he believes it has given him a purpose for getting in the ring.
“I felt like I wasn’t supposed to be in there. It was a learning experience. It showed me that’s not where I want to be,” Davis said. “I got kids, I got to take care of, my family, friends, and everything I’ve got to take care of… I’m fighting for my future, my kids’ future, my people’s future that’s coming behind me.”
Boxing betting odds have the total rounds line at 9.5, so they also expect Davis to win before the final bell.
Martin Will Look to Secure Rounds
We can’t see Martin knocking out Davis, as the power advantage is clearly with the champion. However, he has a chance to win rounds, as he showed when beating Michel Rivera with a dominant 120-107, 117-110, 118-109 unanimous decision victory in 2022.
The 29-year-old American showed good ability when holding off Artem Harutyunyan in his most recent fight, and boxing odds have him at +450.
He isn’t given much chance of scoring an upset, mostly because this is a massive rise in class. He hasn’t fought anyone in the same stratosphere as Davis, and the bright lights of MGM Grand could be troubling.
Martin believes he’s ready to show his best and handle the occasion.
“These types of fights are the ones that define you,” Martin said. “I feel like I’ve been the underdog in the sport since I started, so it ain’t nothing like I’m used to. I’m ready for this opportunity that’s in front of me.”
It’s hard not to root for a fighter like Martin, but we have seen this situation before, and it rarely ends well for the challenger.
The favorite has more experience in the big time, and Martin is ranked eighth in the world, so although he’s on the rise and he had to take this fight, it might have come too early.
Davis Eyes Big KO Statement
Tank should want to send a statement against Martin, and he’s a vicious fighter with 27 wins by KO from 29 fights. We can’t overlook these statistics, so the best boxing odds available is for Davis to win by knockout at -180.
Considering he’s a -700 favorite to win outright, that’s a fair price with Davis vs Martin boxing odds for the fight to end prematurely.
There is also value in round betting markets, and we’re picking Davis to score a knockout win in Round 5, which pays +1400. It’s worth backing at the value odds, and bettors could take a saver bet with Round 6 at +1200.
Based on that, back under 9.5 rounds as well. Martin will do well to stay in the fight for a long duration as the pressure of Davis will take its toll.
