Joshua vs Martin -- Plus Undercard.

[Mark TKO]

I really have no idea how good either is at world level - looking forward to finding out

I'll be putting a couple of bets on and may go for AJ in 2 and Martin in 9

Most fans are so dazzled by "world title" they get blinded about substance. Martin is the guy having the new experience, he's never witnessed anything close to this attention or size of fight. AJ has a far stronger resume already (unless you want to count Glazkov getting kneecapped as legit) .

If Martin beats AJ it's because he's much better than he looks.

The way Martin stands upright, if he makes it out of the 3rd round he has a granite chin.

I see it this way too. AJ is much more experienced than Martin when you think about it. He has less rounds but he has all of this AM experience and he has the experience of fighting in big, sold out arenas. His level of opposition is higher than Martin's and he is just better at everything. I'd be surprised with anything other than a Joshua Ko win.

His Am experience includes being outboxed and made to look like a novice in the olympics!

He was a novice on the international scene. He only started fighting at 18. Fury got beat by Price and so was not selected for the Olympics but apparently that doesn't mean anything unless you actually get there and win a gold medal (however deserved or undeserved), and then that just proves you are clueless and are never going to be anything but a glorified body builder. Speed, explosive power, the same things that made a BIG man in Joshua a blisteringly fast athlete / sprinter are not the same attributes used for endurance, but one does not preclude the other.

Iv had a beer but thats a bit rambly. Is there a point?

Yeah..the point is you are an idiot and your post presents no meaningful information other than reminding us that you don't rate Joshua. Succinct enough for you.

Dont think you will find that out this weekend either.

If 2 fighters who arent proven fight each other does the winner suddenly become world class?

[Mark TKO]

I suppose not but given the state of the heavies, if one of them annihilates the other, I'd say we have a world class level fighter (because the level at the moment is currently shit !)
