Gervonta Davis vs Frank Martin: Live updates and results

1.15 pm PT / 9.15 pm UK

WE HAVE OUR FIRST FIRST ROUND KNOCKOUT OF THE NIGHT!

Daniel 'Iceman' Blancas showed skills that can trump experience as the prospect improved to 10-0 (5 KOs) after defeating 31-fight veteran Pro Schwartz with ease! Wow! It only took a round for Blancas to get his victory, and the walk around the ring seemed to take longer than the fight itself. A great victory for Blancas, who is only 22 years old, and continues to grow and lead in the super middleweight division.

THIS IS THE ANNUAL SHOW AT THE MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA

Another thing to note is that this is a commemorative show for the MGM Grand Garden Arena as it hosts its 100th boxing event. I have lived in Vegas for almost three years now and have seen fight events here, at Michelob Ultra Arena, T-Mobile Arena, The Cosmopolitan, Virgin Hotels, Resorts World, and Circa. The UFC is also planning to hold an event at the $2 billion Sphere in September, which UFC boss Dana White keeps telling me is going to be bad. However, there is nothing like boxing at the Garden Arena. And the reason why combined history, and fights that include Julio Cesar Chavez, Oscar de la Hoya, Mike Tyson, Floyd Mayweather, and Manny Pacquiao, among others, combine to create this image. So Gervonta Davis, Frank Martin, David Benavidez, and Oleksandr Gvozdyk have their chance at some point in time to have their names and legends attached.

WOMEN'S BACKBIGHTS WRESTLING THE PREMIER BOXING CHAMPIONS CARD

We have two women's fights kicking off the Premier Boxing Champions event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. The first fight saw Reina Tellez get a convincing victory by decision, with three points of 40-36 against Beata Dudek, and the second, which is currently ongoing, between Mia Ellis, who has proven her ability to kill, against a novice fighter. Margaret Whitmore, super featherweight.

12:45 pm PT / 8.45 pm UK

WELCOME AND WELCOME!

What's great about the fight family is Alan Dawson reporting live from Las Vegas on one of the hottest fight events of the summer – a doubleheader featuring David Benavidez in his light heavyweight debut against Oleksandr Gvozdyk, and Gervonta Davis in a fight for lightweight against Frank Martin. These are two bad men, as Benavidez has a fighting style like a swarm of killer bees, and 'Tank' Davis is a silent killer. I can't wait to see these fights, which should bring the winners together for even bigger things later on. But first, we have an 11-fight card to go through, starting with a four-rounder featherweight between Reina Tellez and Beata Dudek.

Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin won the WBA lightweight world title at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas.

The action starts on Amazon Prime PPV from 10:30pm UK, 5:30pm ET and 3:30pm PT.
