I think this is going to be a competitive fight, Frank Martin is trying to position itself in this weight class and it's good to see that he is stepping up and fighting for me the biggest hype at 135 lbs in Shakur Stevenson.
And Shakur has the hype right now, he wanted to fight anyone, from Loma to Haney but it seems no one is willing, but Frank Martin. And as the OP said, there is a some competition behind as Stevenson is very close to Crawford, not sure though if they trained under BoMac. And on the other hand, Martin is under Spence. So for sure there are already some animosity behind this fighter even before the actual fight.

So we have another good fight in the horizon here. Shakur Stevenson will finally have a dance partner in Frank Martin. And it's interesting as the rivalry between the two camps, Crawford, who obviously will back Shakur here, against a fighter of Spence in Frank Martin.
Shakur is rank #2, while Frank is rank #4. And perhaps the winner here might go after the WBC champion in Devin Haney (although he doesn't want no part of Shakur hehehe as he has plan to move up in weight class and fight Regis Prograis).
With that, this is very exciting fight, and for sure there will be a lot of trash talking here. And we will see if Shakur technical abilities will be too much for Frank Martin to overcome.
