Frank Martin might be going through slugger Edwin De Los Santos subsequent. ‘The Ghost’ Martin (18-1, 12 KOs) says he’s transferring as much as 140, which is sensible for him, given how drained he regarded in his final struggle in opposition to WBA ‘common’ light-weight champion Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis on June fifteenth.

It will be harmful for Martin to struggle the 24-year-old De Los Santos (16-2, 14 KOs) as a result of he has related energy to Tank Davis however is lightning quick together with his hooks.

De Los Santos had Shakur Stevenson working for his life final November of their conflict on the T-Cellular Enviornment in Las Vegas. Shakur needed no a part of mixing it up with De Los Santos after getting nailed by a tough left hand within the opening spherical.

De Los Santos knocked out Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela within the third spherical in September 2022. Nevertheless, that was earlier than ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela retrofitted his sport, remodeling himself right into a Vasily Lomachenko copy together with his slick motion and defensive abilities.

Martin stated on social media, “It’s time to maneuver up.”

Preventing at 140 will make it simpler for the 29-year-old Martin to make weight with out killing himself like he’d been doing preventing at 135. He regarded like he was on dying’s door, making weight for his struggle with Tank Davis and Artem Harutyunyan.

That may clarify why he didn’t carry out at his finest in these two fights in comparison with how he’d regarded in his fights earlier than. Preventing at 140 will open the door for Martin to struggle for a world title in opposition to new WBA champion Jose ‘Rayo’ Valenzuela. That might be a straightforward one to make for ‘The Ghost’ Martin.

Provided that Frank Martin regarded like he’d been spent months at Andersonville jail, you may’t give Tank Davis full credit score for beating him as a result of he had a starved look to him and wanted some energy in a foul means.  You don’t wish to give the total blame for Martin’s loss on him being a drained skeleton, nevertheless it’s onerous to not as a result of he regarded like he hadn’t eaten a stable meal in ages.
