June tanks it next Saturday night. So, at Vegas Betting, we have another great fight coming from the Lightweight Division. Yes, the 135-pound weight class brings us a battle of unbeaten boxers. Can a tank sink a ghost? Okay, we beg the question who will win in the Davis vs Martin bets between Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin?
Numbers shifted minimally for this fight. Thankfully, these top Vegas online boxing betting sites seem to be mostly in agreement for this bout. The Tank is a pretty big favorite in this fight as expected.
Davis vs Martin begin with the Moneyline. This fight started with “The Tank” being a strong favorite. If anything, that has not wavered. In the past couple of months, the line moved very little. A knockout feels likely here. However, some want to take the safe dollars with Davis. The fighter may be only 29 years old but still throws down like a wild youngster. Just ask any one of his 27 knockout victims (29 fights).
Now, it comes as no surprise that Davis takes on a young prospect of a fighter who has a little bit of power himself. Martin has not fought the pedigree of boxer that Davis has. Both are 29 years old but that is kind of where the similarities end. Honestly, Martin carries a respectable knockout ratio of 66.67%. That is still light compared to Davis’ 93.1%
The problems for Martin could start early in this bout. Martin has not faced a fighter who can throw with sheer power and combination volume like a Davis. The Baltimore, Maryland native comes in angry after serving some jail time and he did adopt the religion of Islam. Davis wants to come in peace but leave Martin in pieces after this fight.
Anyway, pundits have seen the Davis Moneyline work down to the -650 to -700 range. Experts feel Davis’ rest and power shots will be the difference. The American should easily get down to 135 as should Martin. Now, it will be intriguing to see how “The Tank” paces himself early.
This bout offers us two powerful southpaws at 135 pounds. This feels like a knockout in the making. Connect rates are not going to matter in this fight because both fighters want to pound each other into the ground So, the Davis vs Martin Bets forecast a fight that will show bumps, bruises, and knockdowns. There will be little feeling out process in this fight.
Yes, bettors get intrigued by the 9.5 round prop here. How much? On some sites, the number ranges all the way to +125 to +150. We spotted an early +150 on Bovada and that may move out a little more. These are two strong fighters who can take shots but for how long? Again, Davis has not fought in almost 14 months. There lies lots of pent up energy to expend.
Sportsbooks indicate a knockout is very much on the table. Consider that this fight is now +125 to go the distance and seeing EVEN or worse odds is not surprising. Again, both fighters can absorb power shots but how many. If Martin had a little more power, Davis might be a bit more scared. Some believe “The Tank” is going to plow right through the Michigan native in the later rounds.
Other props remain under considerations here However, one can again go for the simple advantage by opting for Davis by knockout next weekend. That rolls in at +125. Keep an eye right before the fight for those round prediction wagers. Project some interesting numbers in Rounds 9 and 10.
Davis vs Martin bets wonder can Martin catch Davis in a shocker? Anything can happen in Las Vegas. The irony is both fighters last fought in Las Vegas. Davis took out Garcia last April. Then, Martin won in a decision over Harutyunyan. The “Ghost” has not fought in 11 months himself. Maybe the rest will help him avoid some rust err take advantage of Davis who likes to fight more regularly.
Okay, Martin has fought 12 rounds in last two fights. So, he carries the ability to not tire out typically later in fights. He looked stronger in those decisions as the bouts went on. The key is even Martin knows he must come out swinging against Gervonta Davis. Anything less will result in a short night in the ring.
This fight is all about the decision for Martin. However, the Moneyline is now at +450. Playing it safe with that wager is the way to go if one wants to shell out a few dollars on the upset.
Are there more props? Always examine these excellent online boxing Vegas odds. When betting with boxing in these spots, it is paramount to examine exact methods of the decision. Could one look at a late knockout? That is very possible here.
Spotlighting the late rounds in group betting brought in a number beyond +125 to +150 for Davis (current KO number). A Round 10 knockout projects out to around +1500 to +2000.
Honestly, betting a few dollars like a pizza bet here is best. No one is going to make a ton of money here. The idea is to spread the wagers around.
