In case you didn’t know, Milwaukee Bucks superstar Damian Lillard is a pretty big boxing buff. He’s no casual fan too, as the eight-time All-Star has been a long-time follower of the combat sport.
Dame has already given his thoughts on the upcoming WBA lightweight world title fight between Gervonta Davis and Frank Martin. While most folks consider Tank Davis to be the favorite to come out on top — and perhaps rightfully so — Lillard believes that the result of this fight might not be as clear-cut as some would assume.
Milwaukee Bucks News: Damian Lillard Expects Long Fight Between Gervonta Davis, Frank Martin
According to Lillard, he doesn’t care what people are saying about the underdog Martin. In fact, the Bucks superstar expects Martin to mount a serious challenge for Davis’ throne.
Speaking to a fan on X, formerly Twitter, Dame dropped his fearless forecast for the upcoming title fight:
If Frank don’t fall in one of Tank traps and get hurt early … I see a good long fight https://t.co/Oe0go5nE3I

The big caveat here is that, as Lillard noted, Martin will need to be very conscious about not falling into one of Davis’ traps early on in the fight. If the undefeated Martin is able to do the same, then Dame believes that he can see this fight going the distance.
You can be sure that Lillard will be watching this upcoming bout intently and we will probably get some quality inputs from him from now until fight night.
