Josh Taylor is arguably Britain's best P4P, however, completely under the radar as he's not with a big dog promoter (Eddie). The boxing world, and all the nerd fans, know how good he is so is a rightful favourite over Ryan Martin.
HOWEVER, there's no way "Blue Chip" Martin (22-0, 12 KOs) is a 7/1 underdog. He was a quality amateur - over 200 wins - and although hasn't beat anyone of Postol or Vasquez class, has plenty of solid wins (Breidis Prescott level). And has Abel Sanchez in his corner (I'm not a trainer makes the fighter man but it's hardly a negative). Most importantly he looks to have terrific quick hands behind a tidy compact defence, consistent jab and uses his length well. He is totally unexposed and in horse racing would be described as "could be anything."
Martin to pull an upset by SD or MD is 80/1. 16/1 for the stoppage. 33/1 draw.
