Rivera looks like an actor playing a young Ali

ali never look that slow 😂

FR, Brodi came outta nowhere and is on my radar for sure.

[@Tigercam24]

I watched the fight live on tv and this is my first time seeing the highlights. It was drastic enough watching it live but these highlights are literally like watching a bee swarm around an opponent. Rivera had absolutely no idea what to do. He couldn't process the information fast enough.

[@juzuthe3rd55]

Lmaoooo you described this perfectly...this is like watching a bee, swarm around an opponent...Frank was too much for him

[@martinherrera4617]

You could not have described what happened here any more perfectly.

[@georgesdaceus2349]

Frank has amazing footwork, great angles, stamina, a very active jab, and he works the body. Frank martin is a problem for sure.

[@sophon238]

He glides around the ring effortlessly

[@crespo03]

Idk about amazing. Really good footwork, sure, but not amazing. His angles aren't that impressive. I think if he can adjust his angles and footwork to where he can find those windows for more effective and efficient strikes, he would be alot more proficient. A guy with his build, stamina, and power shouldve put away rivera away within 3 rounds

[@Neverfearnigerheemishere]

@@crespo03bro is chatting

[@prpleandgold09]

Frank has a very active jab. Also a good defensive tactic was that since he was jabbing in alot he was smothering Rivera’s punches.

[@nathancdk7111]

You can clearly see that he improved his defensive skills since his previous fights. He was very impressive on this one : speed, defense, power. If he continue on this way, he will do a lot of damage in that division. I want to see him fight with bigger fighters now.

[@TheNameIsJustinR]

You got what you asked for, Tank in a little over a month. Who would you bet on?

[@lazar0146]

Ive met Rivera before, he used to come spar at my local gym. Guy has probably one of the hardest jabs i’ve ever seen and he did not implement it at all in this fight

[@mr.palabras9768]

I wondered the same... why he wasn't using the jab... I know Martin was way faster, and hit harder but... you have to implement your defense, and try to do your game.

[@200littleman]

He tried bro wtf did y’all watch the whole fight? He could barely get it to land which is discouraging

[@quaykids1730]

Frank took away his Jab first round I watched the whole fight live

[@TheNoobHub]

it's hard because when you're fighting southpaws it's more of a rear hand battle.

[@denmarcampos2478]

He beats everyone apart from Shakur, Shakur has perfected distancing, he will just step out of those shots from Martin

[@judezern6080]

Rivera was worried abt looking ali when hes 5’8 135 guy didn’t change one thing and let frank pick him apart very impressive win for Martin

[@jkk4579]

Frank Martin made it difficult for Rivera to hit him given that rivera had the height and arm range advantage. I am sure Martin is about to change the narrative at both 135 to 140 he is technically solid exciting to watch too

[@driven24djackson]

I'm just now hearing about Frank.i like his fighting style. His combos and level of pivoting after attacking his opponents his highly impressive.

Frank Martin took that boy to school

[@johnninham2971]

'Seems Frank has it all out in front of him......great entertainment!'

[@bagchaserzai4905]

Frank has a lot of stamina, I feel like Rivera should slow down and peep a perfect shot instead of trying to go franks past and also he should stand taller rather then getting low all that’s doing is helping frank get a better shot

[@jody6reeze537]

I mean van Damme you would think right 🤦🏾

[@neivaldoduarte4576]

Achei o mesmo... o problema maior foi a rapidez do Martin. Rivera deveria ter controlado mais a distância, já que seus braços são maiores... bem, aqui de fora é fácil, não é?!

[@crazyaboutboxing9385]

Martin did an amazing job on keeping his lead foot outside of Rivera’s and his double jab and stab to the body was on point to. He definitely deserves to be in the talks with other 135 lbs fighters.

Martin will destroy him. Keyshawn is nice but Martin is special.. for Frank to be only boxing for 9-10 yrs only compared to all the other fighters who been fighting for 20+ yrs peaks value.

Mann the crowed had Rivera feeling some type of way. I was ring side listening to everyone talk hella shit to Rivera and clowning him. I think that got into his head during the fights cause the crowd was showing no mercy for Rivera 😂. The people in the crowd were only there for Frank, Rivera had nobody in the crowd cheering for him.

This kid is fighting like he’s never fought a south paw before

[@travisedwards7726]

Frank is a heck of a fighter but with questionable power, and instincts to finish. Frank pull counter is solid and but has a habit posing in a defensive shell leaning backwards it’s like a half Philly shell and got him caught with clean straight right hands.Frank will get smoke by Shakur Stevenson respectfully.

[@legend1849]

How about pitbull..Cause I say the same thing Shakur will smoke him and with his lack of power I don't think he can keep pitbull off him..

[@wassup4132]

I was watching the fight and I noticed that too until I called out how he was trying to set up the uppercut and hook combination and he did afterwards it’s also how he can pivot out the way but I think Shakur vs Frank is even I’m leaning more to Martin cause Shakur has a habit of keeping his chin up and leaving his body open and Frank will attack that body not to mention is crazy quick on his feet

[@PoombaiNews]

doing a phily shell on a southpaw stance too

[@TsRAbyssers]

First off this tells me that you have never boxed or dont know much, you dont always have to go for the finish, Frank was in control of the whole fight and thats all he needed, he outboxed rivera like it was nun and thats a good resume win, he doesnt have "questionable power" he has power hence why he got a knockdown and the fight before this he stopped his opponnet, sounds to me like you bet on rivera and lost

[@dominoelove988]

@@legend1849 he uses to many angles for pitbull frank would beat him easy work. pitbull needs to brawl

[@neivaldoduarte4576]

Rivera tem os braços longos... deveria ter controlado melhor a distância. O maior problema que ele (Rivera) teve foi a rapidez nos movimentos do Martin. Mas eu achei que ele lutou bem... aliás, ambos. Boa luta!👏👏👏👏👏

[@1BREAL353]

Martin is a beast. But his stance kinda wide. How does he pull it off?

[@bbguy17]

Shakur's is too. Some of the slick boxers these days like the wide stance because they can control range really well with it and take smaller steps to disengage. You have to have a good grasp of distance control to do it though

[@MineHandled24-7]

Frank is definitely a formidable opponent for Tank, but not quite ready, in my opinion. I will say this though, don't sleep on Frank bc he has the potential to he a champion and the team behind him to see it through!

[@Violeta-dk3bn]

Le dieron una clase de boxeo a Michel Rivera.

[@marcusb13mb]

Jesus , Rivera forgot the #1 rule when facing a southpaw. KEEP YOUR LEAD FOOT OUTSIDE THEIR LEAD FOOT! He pivoted into Martins left hand giving him free power punches more times than I can count. Very good fighters hope to see more of them. Rivera polishes up could be a problem

If I'm not mistaking I think frank Martin started boxing kinda late. I think the other guys should go after him now because later on he's gunna be nearly unbeatable. He has some flaws but the guy is a talent clearly!

Yea he started at I think 20-21 so to be this good means he’s been working tirelessly on his craft also I initially thought he fought like Spence but I can clearly see he’s much different looking just at his footwork D James works on fighters strengths
