‘Tank’ parted ways with Mayweather Promotions because of numerous differences. However, a recent incident drew Ellerbe and Davis together and brought them to a common ground. In an online conversation, they both decided to discount Spence Jr.’s viewpoint about the Davis vs. Martin fight.

Apparently, Spence Jr. believes that Frank Martin will knock out Davis in the 7th or 8th round. Following these remarks, Davis instantly replied through his X account with laughing emojis, “get your money champ”. Additionally, Spence Jr. also mentioned that Martin would dominate the fight. The Mayweather Promotions CEO replied to it and sarcastically asked, “Dominate wut”. 

This instantly started a conversation online and fans started pouring their opinions about it as well. But what did Spence Jr. say exactly?

The Long Island fighter has been out of action since his last fight with Terence Crawford. It ended Spence Jr’s undefeated streak as ‘Bud’ won the clash via technical knockout in the 9th round. Spence Jr. was in conversation with Fight Hub TV, where he talked about his return, changing his coach, and how he is planning his future. During the conversation, he was asked to weigh in on the Davis vs. Martin fight. 

The 34-year-old boxer believed that Martin was the most skilled and talented fighter that Davis ever fought. “Like he’s one of those, he can’t take those early rounds. And I feel like he’s gonna come in the seventh, eighth round, and hope for a knockout. I feel like Frank gonna dominate him, 1st through 12th round, and win a fight,” said Spence Jr.

He gonna see the speed, he gonna see the strength, he gonna see the power that Frank brings to the table on fight night.”     

Interestingly, this will be the first time ‘Tank’ will face an African-American fighter, and fans are expecting a thrilling match. Although Ellerbe and Davis are laughing at the prospect of Martin winning the fight, there is space for the tables to turn around. What do you think about it?
