Where To Watch:
Why Bet on Michel Rivera
Rivera is coming off an 8-round UD win against Jerry Perez on 15 October 2022.
On the day of this fight, he will be 24 years and 9 months old with a record of 24-0 (14 KO).
Rivera has been patiently awaiting a shot at 135-pound world lightweight champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis.
While a win over Martín will raise Rivera’s profile even further, he believes he’s already done more than enough for a shot at Davis.
Why Bet on Frank Martin
Martin is coming off a 10-round TKO win against Jackson Marinez on 9 July 2022.
He’ll be 27 years and 11 months old with a record of 16-0 (12 KO) on the day of the fight.
Martin spends a lot of time around two fighters who have made it to the top, Errol Spence Jr. and Jermell Charlo.
Martin is confident he’ll end up where Spence is now, on pound-for-pound lists.
The next step is a victory over Rivera, who Martin respects but beliefs is inferior to him in every aspect of the game.
