Joshua vs Martin -- Plus Undercard.

[X]

I do think that Joshua might be a real talent, but to be fighting for a 'world' title after just 15 bouts (all quick knockouts) is a bit too soon for me. A fighter who wants to keep hold of his crown needs to be more of a finished article that Joshua currently is.

Granted, he is fighting for a diminished bauble, as everyone knows the real heavyweight champion is Tyson Fury .... and Charles Martin is probably one of the more anonymous and poorest 'world' titleholder so there has ever been.

We don't really know what Joshua's chin or stamina is like. However, when you get two big men who can both hit, then I dint see this going the distance.

Whoever lands properly first will stop the other guy, probably quite quickly. Joshua's amateur pedigree probably makes him more of an orthodox technician than Martin, so assuming he is not totally flummoxed by the southpaw stance, I take Joshua to finish it inside five.

It will be mighty interesting if it goes past seven though.

Joshua got wobbled when he fought the first close to half decent fighter he's fought and if the guy had been in shape Joshua could easily have lost. Haven't seen anything of Martin other than his last fight. The winner will still probably have a load of question marks over them going into their next fight.

From Martin jumping into this fight because it was his biggest possible payday I'm going to go with Joshua. But Martin will be fighting like he's got nothing to lose so anything could happen.

Joshua will win comprehensively.

Martin will try and take him out in the later rounds and hope AJ is another Bruno. I think Joshua is world class even if he is fighting for an alphabet title too early.

one minute AJ will win comprehensively, the next Martin is going after him in the late rounds, how does that work??
I reckon we'll see a lot more caution from AJ as he tries to work the Southpaw out. That'll take a few rounds, and I think AJ will stop him in about the 10th.
(don't be surprised to see it go the other way late on or even points if AJ is found wanting for Stamina .)

I think he is saying the plan will be to get AJ into the later rounds but AJ will finish it before it gets there.

That'show I read it anyway

Thank you.

The fact that I said that Martin hopes AJ is another Bruno should have been your clue.

Understood. So when do you think AJ will win? 7th , 9th, points ?

Who you think will become World HW Champ with an early KO?
Wow! Seems like any fucker can be a World Champ nowadays. Just find the next bodybuilder off the streets.

don't wind me up master, I can box a bit myself you know

[Silkeyjoe]

I lumped on Joshua round 1 at 9/1. Think its great value. Can see Martin folding after getting hit once. Guess he cant believe his luck. World title shot against an injured opponent for a vacant title and now a massive payday. Chap has hit the jackpot win or lose.

[Master]

Dad is happy with the win.

Son is a mini Benn without the power but same fighting style.

[Spicoli]

Thought Showtime was showing the Groves fight "live"? Instead its the Selby-Hunter replay starting. Lemme guess...Selby wins over 12
