Would be good to see Rose box Maxwell again. The knockout in the first fight was a peach. Would be interesting to see if Rose would box him or stay clear.

Martin is a lovely text book boxer who doesn't do much wrong. I think him and Brian is a really decent match.

Martin is big and strong enough to give Brian plenty to think about, it will be a good fight.

Martin is a double ABA london champ I believe. I have seen him box a few times - he's a very intelligent boxer and his timing and distance are exceptional.

I wouldn't argue that he's big and strong; he looks a little emaciated at the weight - but his strength is his boxing brain.

I think it's a 50/50 fight

True, but maybe he has been draining himself. The extra weight might be helpful

Maybe but usualy a light middle isnt able to get below 10 .12 with a same day weigh in most light middles cant get belwo 11.4 same day if that they get rid of the last bit wit ha day before weigh in.
If martin is able to come in well below the limit with a same day weigh in a none title fight hes not big for the weight i dont think most welters come in around that same day or even heavier.
