Gervonta Davis is a scary man.
Davis successfully defended his WBA lightweight title in spectacular fashion on Saturday, knocking 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 found his rhythm and scored a monster knockout, trapping Martin into the corner and blasting him with a left uppercut followed by a left hook.
