That was a HORRIBLE performance by Frank "The Ghost" Martin! That cat GAVE Frank the victory by taking that knee! Frank is not ready for Tank! He needs to fight De Los Santos!

That guy is a good fighter and push Martin to the limit. Rematch!

tank looked terrible against unknown isaac cruz so i dont see how they are any different? tank just fights lots of bums wilder style

Frank can make whatever excuse he want but he doesn't put enough punches together nor is he as big a puncher as believed, Tank stops him, Haney will decision him easy and I understand why Keyshawn keeps calling him out now. Frank can use a few more fights before a title real shot!

Tanks hand was swollen like a melon, thats how it was different.

Frank not ready for the elites just yet needs a couple more quality fights, they all can have an off night, it only takes a fraction for the timing to be off, an inch is a mile in boxing.

Imo , The Ghost won the fight but he had to dig like crazy mofo to get there
He had an awkward fighter in front of him and Frank didn’t seem to have a plan B or C for that matter
Got big points from the judges for finishing the fight strong and that’s what got him the win
Is it him or is it his corner who didn’t prepare well enough ?

I don't believe it was anything to do with preparation, its so easy to just be a little flat or some minor timing to be not be quite on point and flow goes, the sport is won and lost in fractions.

Yes , your reasoning is right but when your not seeing the same fighter it makes you think what he was getting ready for
I give him credit for digging deep but something was definitely off
He was literally a ghost of himself
Mind you , awkward fighter in front of him

Yes I hear you he was a good opponent, Frank was in great shape he finished with a full sail, I think Derrick was giving him the right instructions to go for him, when your timing is a little off the worst thing you can do is clam up it's far better to put the peddle down and let your hands go, often that can get your timing back because its reactive no thought, Frank was thinking too much and that just compounded the situation.
