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.
