this man and Ladies and Gentlemen please
welcome still undefeated and still the
WBA lightweight champion of the world
from Baltimore Maryland here is the
undefeated Chante tank Davis ladies and
gentlemen T right right up here to the
podum by all
means I pull the T on first yeah uh
thank everybody for coming out great
event uh everybody that played a part of
this event uh I appreciate you guys once
again we did it again on to the
next question
questions hey tank congratulations on
the victory obviously it's just a it's
always a matter of time with you when
are you going to land that knockout
punch how did you size him up and what
did you do to get to that moment where
you ended the fight uh I just had to get
in uh the right um Range you know I mean
I was fighting my range out uh he had a
decent jab uh he was moving a lot you
know what I mean um just had to break
him down as the rounds I mean as the
fight was going on so many uh great
Fighters that you can take on next
including maybe lomachenko interested in
that fight November talked about sure
yeah for sure long as we we go back to
the Drone boy and um I wanted to fight
all of them thank you so much congrats
tank straight in front right here right
in front of you oh congratulations on
the night thank you bet um a lot of
people thought early on in the fight as
sometimes is the case with you that you
started a little slowly and that a lot
of people had him winning early on how
did you feel like you were doing did you
think he was doing anything to win
rounds and you figured it was a matter
of time before your power came out I
mean oh my bad I mean uh he definitely
was you know throwing more punches than
than our um beginning of the rounds and
my whole thing was to you know I mean
let him tie himself out I don't think he
he was connecting a lot of them shots
but he was definitely like touching my
gloves and stuff like that you know what
I mean but uh I knew he was going to tie
himself out that's that was the whole
game plan
and on the last shot the left hand is
one of the most brutal left hands I've
seen maybe like ever that was an very
impressive shot did you feel like that
he seemed like he was really badly hurt
with a shot before that did you figure
that when you landed that shot cuz you
ran to the corner post to you know start
to get in position to do your flip I
think before the referee even finished
counting to 10 yeah I knew the way he he
felt like he wasn't getting back up cuz
he hit his head you know I mean on the M
you know what I mean so um oh overall
he's he's a great fighter
dvon do you think you know you get so
much notoriety for your power but your
smarts in the ring maybe don't people
don't talk about a lot and it seem like
you know guys get into patterns and you
find that and you break it down and you
seem like you're the smarter fighter a
lot of times at the end of the day but
people don't give you credit for that is
that do you agree with that A and B do
you think it's frustrating to you know
hear about your power but not hear about
how smart you are in the ring it been
going on for my whole pro career so it's
okay it's really like you know uh people
can play uh smart people could play dumb
but dumb people can't play smart you
know what I mean so it go like that and
you know you had mentioned you want to
fight all of them right and um you know
there's a lot of good guys out there he
mentioned LMA you know Shakur would be
another guy with you I I I wonder you
know Shakur is a quick boxer a good guy
but do you think he would engage you
enough to make it an entertaining fight
or if you fought him do you feel like it
would be a bad fight because you'd be
chasing them all night you you know how
it would go everybody in this room would
know how it go you know what I mean but
uh I guess it' be good for the sport if
we fight uh now or
later hey javante what's up man Naji
from cigar talk congratulations uh big
win tonight there was a part like it
felt like round maybe five or six you
kind of started walking forward like it
didn't look like you respected the power
you were kind of walking forward hands
down a little bit just throwing bombs
can you talk about his power at all did
it affect you like did you feel the
power how did you feel like when you
walking forward yeah he had decent power
but um he was weighing down as the as
the fight was going on that's how I know
that you know I mean uh he was breaking
down you know what I mean so that's when
I start picking it up more my coach was
telling me to pick it up more all right
cool and lastly um I know you said when
we had our interview you said you got
the six to seven fight deal you could
really pick anybody is there a name that
you want or is just kind of who whoever
whoever want to get it all of them dant
that javant and the best women's boxing
show period in our scrum you said you
were going to predict an eighth round
knockout you sure did it over here you
you predicted eighth round knockout is
that what you were planning on or you
were just hoping that you were going to
just get him out of there as fast as you
can no I was just I was just throwing
that out there I mean but every time I
say it though yes I be okay my next
fight in the first round and then
last and then lastly you believe that
Frank Martin has been your toughest test
throughout your
career as of right
now
nah hi javante Alo Rosco with title
Sports Network congratulations on your
win that was an epic fight now that
you've been in the ring with both Ryan
Garcia and Frank Martin whose
performance and style impressed you more
none of them I love it
congratulations thank you what's up
jaante right here no I would say I would
say
yeah not to be
cocky right here
man jante over here power6 do you think
your style both in and out of the ring
especially during fight night you know
boost your confidence especially for
this fight say it again I'm sorry your
style your fashion do you you think that
boost your confidence during fight week
and especially tonight you rock those
Chrome Hearts do you think that really
put you in the right head space no I
think it's music when I in the back in
the uh in the locker room I listen to a
lot of music so I think that get me in
the mle and get me hype and stuff like
that
what I uh
I a lot right here
jaante up this uh skip well first of all
congratulations
great this skip Brown from Dante's
boxing Nation by way ofv you just beat a
really good Southpaw and both of the
other uh champions in your division of
southpaws lomachenko and St Lomo and
Stevenson did Frank Martin prepare you
for those
fights no I don't think so cuz they they
all fight different they all fight
different one a boxer one like you know
try to stay in front of you Frank was
somewhat boxer but they they why y'all
laughing no but he was you know I mean
it's cool they all fight different you
know mean I approach every fight
different so I don't think it helped me
for them guys javante Shanel right here
in the back right next to skip uh you
know there was so much made about the
sparring you the one that say he clipped
me huh you say he clipp me I seen that I
seen that video did you did you watch
the whole thing yeah I said and where I
picked you by knockout and said that he
started clinching excessively and uh
yeah that was that he wouldn't be able
to do that in this fight as an answer to
you coming back at him yeah he was type
strong when he was grabbing me too I
couldn't get him off me I'm like
damn but just the question is there was
so much made about that sparring session
over the last you know couple years how
does it feel to punctuate it with a win
in a in a fight it's cool but again the
job not done so so on to the next but it
was it's it's cool it was a good buildup
uh again Frank Martin was a great great
fighter I appreciate him for you know um
coming to fight he put up a
good six to seven round no well good for
the
five Dante right here I'm just wondering
what was the conversation about with
your number one fan up there huh what
was the conver ation about with your
number one fan in the ring after the
fight oh
Ryan he's crazy I he's crazy talk about
rematch he said I was the best at uh 135
to 402 he said that he said that say he
want to fight me again I'll kick his ass
again T congratulations we take back
reporting first of all your reaction to
your face on the side of the MGM fire I
me I remember again I've been here uh
when I I fought in the Goa glov probably
like 2014 or 13 or something like that
and I and I came to uh I think Floyd
versus um no no it was Floyd M no no
Cotto yeah I was in the I was in the
goto gloves yeah and I remember like a
lot of celebrities and stuff like
surrounding the building and stuff like
that he sold it out I was actually all
the way in a the nose pleas they a head
touching the uh top of the Rena but it's
cool I'm here now and I appreciate them
moments and it helped me get to where
I'm at today you and David Benitas one
to combo would you want him again on the
same card yeah for sure and we could and
we can uh swap it out you know what I
mean I could be co- man he could be Main

Victory um now that you are 30 and 0
what does this win mean to your
legacy I
mean it's a step Stone but
again a I can't celebrate too much cuz I
got to do it again you know what I mean
so I look at it like that you know I
mean I'm not done until you know I mean
Till I Retire so I can't look at it as a
a big win or anything like that it's
cool for the moment
but then I got to do it again I got to
be in this stage again I was just
telling somebody like oh my God I hate
going through this like worrying about
what somebody going to do to me what I'm
going to do to somebody it's getting
annoying now um and last question at any
point did you switch up your game plan I
know they said that they had Mark um
sorry Martin winning in the first few
rounds so did you switch up your game
plan any at any point today or did you
stick to what you know you were training
for no I just um yeah well my coach was
just telling me to like Pi my punches
together more you know what I mean I
was I was doing what I want for the
first couple rounds just standing in his
face to make him throw punches and then
my coach was telling me like now start
start putting your punches together you
know what I mean and that's what what I
start breaking them down when I start
pting my punches
together tank right here in the middle

I I let my people down you know but my
head high you know uh at the end of the
day you know I came came out to to be
great but I came up short you know I got
caught with a shot that I didn't see you
know one that came from underneath you
know uh and and it and it it went from
there you know uh I guess I a make the
count but I appreciate everybody that
came out everybody that's been a part of
this event um from Errol Spence to tgb
to you know uh everybody all you guys
who in here as well um I'll be back you
know I'll be back better you know watch
film get better grow you know and y'all
to see me
again okay questions for Frank Martin
hey Frank what's up man Nai from sagatoo
what's up with you what's going on
brother uh congratulations man just even
being here and fighting tough um in the
beginning of the fight you know you you
had it under control you were moving
well using your jab it felt like you won
a lot of the early rounds I would say
maybe around five or six is when it
started to feel like it took a turn can
you tell me about that part like what
you remember like when the momentum
started kind of Shifting for you just I
I got to chilling too much on the ropes
you know uh Derek that's one thing he
been talking to me about in a training
camp for a while you know not getting
comfortable on the ropes you know not
chilling on him you know just cuz I feel
like you know I can catch shots and this
and that you know I just felt
like I just I was on the ropes too much
you know I had started just chilling on
ropes too much bouncing off of them and
stuff okay and quick followup um A lot's
been made about tanks power how was his
power to you was it really like
devastating power I mean he got power
you know what I mean but it's more like
he he got a he do a great job at Landing
this big shot you know he know how to
land that shot you know uh hit guys on
the button and just get him up out of
there you know cuz he cuz he an Accura
puncher and he you know he just know how
to land that shot Frank um just a
question you did as well against him is
just about anybody that's ever fought
against him and you still end up getting
knocked out what do you think what kind
of performances it take what kind of
fighter would it take to end up beating
dvon you said type of fighter yeah I
mean you just got to you just got to go
in there and box you got to be able to
box you know and and just watch all the
shots you know cuz he got them shots
that if you don't see him you know he
can get you out and he and he sneaky
with it you know he could take a punch
he can give a punch too so it's just
like just being woke with him you got to
be woken there I've been saying that
like the whole time leading up to this
fight you know you got to be woke and I
got caught with a shot not being woke
so Frank straight in front of
you I was wondering when when you got to
the ring and you you know your first
time in front of that kind of big crowd
big event I mean you've handled the
promotion it seemed to me very very well
I wanted to know like what what you
feeling when you got into the ring did
it take you a little bit of time to sort
of catch your breath sort of because of
the magnitude of the event or did you
feel like you handled it very well no I
feel like I handled you know the liks
the people you know and the crowd and
stuff I felt like I didn't let that
throw me off of
my game plan you know I was focused you
know once I was in the ring everything
else was just kind of like you know like
I was tunnel vision while I was in the
ring so like when I went out there it
was just you know I was locked in on him
you know I wasn't too much worried about
the crowd or nothing like that you know
cuz I came to you know get the win but I
came up
short Frank Cynthia G best women's
boxing show per congratulations we've
talked a lot about Tank's power but a
lot of people don't realize obviously
tank has very good boxing skills what
did you think of his skills in the ring
and obviously the traps that he was
setting with the skills uh he he got
good traps you know he got good setups
good traps you know it's it was C like
the Trap that I got caught with was one
that we knew that could possibly happen
you know and I was just too comfortable
and he and you know he landed that up on
me and I ain't see it you know just by
being on them ropes but he a slick guy
you know he could box he could punch you
know he can really you know he he
adaptable you know I feel like T can
adapt to a lot of different styles you
know he got the
experience Frank right here Liliana
pugan boxing how are you congratulations
on your performance you're very sharp
tonight do you feel like you were one of
the best opponents that he's had so far
if not the best opponent that he has so
far I feel like I ain't really get to I
ain't really get to show it I ain't I
ain't get to show it you know when me
getting caught with that shot I ain't
get to even catch my second win or
nothing you know so I ain't really get
to bring nothing else out you know um
I feel like I went in and fought you
know a good fight uh I wasn't expecting
to not come out with the w but you know
it happened like that
sometime hey Frank over here uh
congratulations for coming up and you
know having a great showing a lot of
people had you winning early in the
rounds um just for you and Derek what
was the game plan going into the fight
and did you feel that looking back what
could youve done better to kind of maybe
had a better result man I honestly kind
of I got away from the game plan in the
way you know by being on the ropes too
much and you know uh that wasn't a part
of the game plan that was a part that
you know Derek didn't want me doing you
know he wanted me off the ropes he ain't
want me just chilling on the ropes and
catching punches and and getting
comfortable so that damn show went the
part of the game plan right there it was
just you know me being in there not
saying that I wasn't listening but I was
trying to I was trying to see something
while I was on the ropes and you know I
just wasn't able to find what I was
looking for
what's up Frank what up D what's up man
this is Skip from Dante's boxing Nation
by way of a TV a lot of people were
talking about how you looked at the
weighin did you make weight comfortably
and are you going to stay at
135 uh we going to think about it you
know I'm going to talk to my people and
we going to just see um I don't believe
that you know my wake up had nothing to
do with my performance or anything like
that or me feeling drain so you know I'm
going just talk to my people and we kind
of go from there if I like move up or
stay where I'm at
Frank congratulations on an outstanding
performance tonight even though you did
come up short this is Marcus Hayes with
fight Hub TV I wanted to ask you earlier
in the week I got to talk to Errol
Spence Jr and Earl talked about one
thing that you had to stay cognizant on
was not being lowed to sleep by Tank and
what you're describing is basically what
happened talk to us about the process of
how he lowered you to sleep what end up
happening I just feel like I feel like
from round
the fourth round I had started B on them
ropes a little too much you know and
then and then I let him throw certain
shots but I was looking for a shot in
the process of that you know and I think
I did it a little too much excessive and
that's how you always catch guys you
know guys who doing the same thing and
ain't switching it up I did it a few
times and he probably caught on a little
bit and caught okay he keep moving this
way that way you know and then he caught
me with a shot or whatever cuz I did it
I did the I us tried to use the ropes
too many times you know look for a shot
that I was trying to find that I
couldn't find you know he actually found
a shot before I
did
excellent anyone
else any other
questions uh I guess yeah no thank thank
you Frank appreciate it all right no
problem no
problem excellent performance take care
guys yes we want to thank Frank Faron
for joining us and obviously what a
Class Act he is and came up short
