I wish Tank was just a little bit more humble I truly believe he has to knock this man out because if it goes to distance I believe he will be out pointed Martin doesn’t like body shots that’s one thing I know for sure as they say beat the body in the head will I just hope he comes out Victorious but tank is dangerous and he prove that against Leo Santa Cruz because Santa Cruz was giving it to him and then he called him with the hand that no one expects the left hand this is not a right-handed world and Martin better remember that Davis has left hand sizzle and I mean like hot grease don’t underestimate his power because if you do you’ll be getting up off the floor don’t talk about it you got to be about a tank I wish you nothing but victory then run your mouth
