Gervonta Davis is a scary man.
Davis successfully defended his WBA lightweight title in spectacular fashion on Saturday. He knocked out Frank Martin with a brutal eighth-round sequence at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
Coming off the longest layoff of his career, Davis was rusty early. But eventually, he found his rhythm and scored a monster knockout. Trapping Martin into the corner, he blasted him with a left uppercut followed by a left hook.
