Gervonta Davis-Frank Martin fight live results: Start time, full card

This week Frank “The Ghost” Martin expressed gratitude as his fight against Gervonta “Tank” Davis approached.

“I appreciate Tank giving the opportunity whoop his (backside),” Martin said.

Of course it’s usually Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) doing the whooping. But with his WBA lightweight title on the line, Davis will be fighting for the first time in 14 months — a layoff that began after he knocked out Ryan Garcia in April 2023. No chance Davis has lost his knockout power.

But will his sharpness be compromised by the time off with his WBA lightweight championship belt on the line Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas? Martin (18-0 with 12 KOs) will provide a test. Working under the guidance of highly regarded trainer Derrick James, he has emerged as a top contender in the 135-pound division.

Carlos Adames defeats Terrell Gausha by unanimous decision

Carlos Adames defeated Terrell Gausha in a 12-round bout for the WBC middleweight title. Here’s the round-by-round analysis:

Round 1: Boxers firing jabs, assessing each other. Adames unloads with an overhand right. Blocked. But the first burst of excitement. Quiet round. Adames 10, Gausha 9.
Round 2: More jabs and caution as the round begins. Gausha lands an overhand right, and Adames presses the action, to no avail. Adames 19, Gausha 19.
Round 3: Gausha staying busy with the jab, but not much landing. Adames starting to establish himself as the aggressor, but not delivering many punches. Adames 29, Gausha 28.
Round 4: Adames lands a body shot. And it’s worth noting given the scarcity of punches landed. Adames opening up, taking a couple of shots but landing more. Adames 39, Gausha 37.
Round 5: Adames enters the round having thrown only 80 punches, but they’re the more powerful punches. Adames the aggressor, but Gausha countering effectively. Adames 48, Gausha 47.
Round 6: Adames fires a couple of hard rights and initiates the action. Gausha fires back. But still nothing for the highlight reel. Adames through big rights, none of which are getting through. Adames 57, Gausha 57.
Round 7: Finally, a serious exchange of punches at the center of the ring. Now Adames unloading overhead rights, followed by stiff jabs. Gausha scoring with jabs, but Adames showing more power. Adames 67, Gausha 66.
Round 8: Gausha content to lean on that left jab. And Adames distinguishing himself with power. Gausha might need Olympic-style judges to pull this out unless he throws with more authority. Adames 77, Gausha 75.
Round 9: Adames emerges as the aggressor again. But the fighters are oddly tentative. Gausha fires away, but suddenly he’s backpedaling again. Adames 87, Gausha 84.
Round 10: Gausha’s trainer sends him back out with orders to be more aggressive. But it’s Adames who’s carrying out that plan. Adams corners Gausha, then has him on the ropes and can’t capitalize. But Adames initiating the action. Adames 97, Gausha 93.
Round 11: Gausha lands with his jab. Adames countering with big punches. Ouch. Low blow by Adames. Gausha needing some time and deep breaths before the action resumes. Adames lands a big right, above the belt, but Gausha connects with a flurry. Adames 106, Gausha 103.
Round 12: Adames throwing that overhand right. But not much getting through Gausha’s high guard. Gausha showing more activity before Adames pours it on. Great exchange as the round ends. Adames 115, Gausha 113.
