Re: Anthony Joshua to fight Charles Martin for IBF title
I've hear a rumour that Wlad will return as he is in his prime at 39. So could be some interesting matchups for him .
Re: Anthony Joshua to fight Charles Martin for IBF title
McGuigan thinks it's a "hell of a gamble"
“It’s a hell of a gamble with 15 fights under his belt,” McGuigan told The Sunday Telegraph yesterday. “I expected Joshua to get Dillian Whyte out of there in the first or second round in December last year but he made a real meal of that fight.
“It exposed a level of vulnerability and defensive flaws that need to be ironed out. I understand where they’re going with this. They’re taking a calculated risk. Martin himself is relatively underdeveloped as a fighter.
“But he can wallop, he’s a southpaw and the defensive flaws I saw against Whyte give him a chance....
Barry McGuigan: Anthony Joshua taking 'hell of a gamble' against IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin - Telegraph
He can say he would give Joshua another year but that's at least three fights, and even at the level he has faced so far, It's still heavyweight boxing, and three chances to get knocked out. It's an opportunity that Hearn would have been daft to have not pursued.
Re: Anthony Joshua to fight Charles Martin for IBF title
I think Hearn could have turned this down and allowed AJ to develop and at least go the distance with a fighter. AJ could get Haye, Fury and anyone else any time he wants because he has a huge fan base. They turned those fights down because he is not ready. AJ most likely will win but then will have to develop experience by making defences of the paper title.
It is all unnecessary risk.

These jealous hypocrites want AJ to fail so they can have a pop at Matchroom. Pathetic.
If AJ wins Martin was an untested nobody, if he loses we told you so. Zzzzzzzz

The hyprcrite is Hearn saying he was not prepared to take the risk but he will if there is a title at stake. I want AJ to win.

That doesn't really make sense but I was replying to McGuigan's comments not yours.

McGuigan seems a bitter little man. He makes snipey comments and pit on the stupid laugh at the press conferences for the Quigg Framptn fight. He also made comments regarding Tyson Fury leading up to the Klitschko fight and had to begrudgingly give him props after. Must have been like seallowing broken glass, mch like it has been for some in here.
Id imagine hed be like a little boiling kettle now his sons got Haye if ever a Fury v Haye foght was announced again.

Yeah , McGuigan's a cunt, he's only spouting this shit off about Joshua cos his boy is training Haye.
Trust me, one day, McGuigan and Frampton are gonna part ways and it is going to be ugly!
