Davis
“I’m gonna break you up,” said Davis. “I’m gonna split all that up under your eyes. Every time I tell people something is gonna happen, what happens?”
“It hasn’t even hit him yet. He’ll see Saturday. It’s gonna hit him. Especially when I touch him. What is he bringing to the table that I haven’t seen?”

“Come out this Saturday, because it’s gonna be a great fight with a great undercard. Don’t get your popcorn, or your juice, stay locked in. Because I’ve been locked in for a long time now and my give back is gonna be a great performance on Saturday night.”
“He’s shaking up there. He was talking tough yesterday when it was just him. It’s gonna show. He’s a frontrunner.”
Martin
“June 15 it’s going down,” said Martin. “We’re here. Like I’ve said before, I appreciate ‘Tank’ giving me the opportunity to whoop his ass. He just hasn’t been in there with anybody like me.”
“Calvin’s telling me to push those buttons, well I’m coming to push every button he’s got. Come out and expect a good fight. Let’s get it.”

“He’s been working his ass off, because he knows what time it is. He’s been grinding. We haven’t seen too much of you. It’s because he knows this is real.”
“It’s a blessing to be in this position, but it won’t hit me until I get the win. I feel like I worked, and that’s why I’m here. Now I have to get this win and then it’ll all hit me.”
Fight Prediction
“Tank” is among the hardest hitters in the sport. Very few fighters have entered the final round against Davis, let alone hear the final bell. While Martin is a talented fighter, his opponent’s power and counterpunching abilities will be difficult to deal with. Expect a late stoppage win for Davis as he remains the WBA lightweight champion.
