Re: Who wins Joshua or Martin?
I freely admit to not having seen much of Martin; the little I've seen was not at all impressive.
I'd be amazed if Joshua didn't win by early-mid ko.

Re: Who wins Joshua or Martin?
Martin is pretty much an unknown, he looked comfortable in the few rounds against Glazkhov who is a decent operator but what does anybody really know about him? Joshua has spent three years knocking out bums and has beens, Whyte excepted who is himself an unknown quantity barely beyond novice level. All we really know is that Joshua carries serious power against fighters of a certain level, maybe Martin will be the one to expose him

He is being under rated
Re: Who wins Joshua or Martin?
I have no idea, it depends how well Martin can take a punch and how Joshua deals with his jab I think. I hope Martin though.
Re: Who wins Joshua or Martin?
Fair point, I mean it was close but I, and a lot of people, had him ahead. That said I think the mean way he outboxed him was using his reach advantage, whereas Joshua is bigger, that said, I think Joshua isn't as good jabbing.Starboxer wrote:Martin was out boxing an Olympian in glazkovdr_devious wrote:Martin is pretty much an unknown, he looked comfortable in the few rounds against Glazkhov who is a decent operator but what does anybody really know about him?

Re: Who wins Joshua or Martin?
Martin seems like a less cagey Mitch Green; somewhat similar attributes, but easier to hit. I favour Joshua heavily in the first half, but Martin slightly if he reaches the middle rounds in good shape.
I've voted Joshua with moderate confidence.

I don't see it. Mitch Green was visibly a gifted, natural boxer with some graceful moves.Grilling Machine wrote:Martin seems like a less cagey Mitch Green; somewhat similar attributes, but easier to hit.

I can't see any natural aptitude for boxing in Martin at all. He doesn't punch with good form, and he certainly doesn't move with good form. I dislike Joshua but can only see him rolling right through such an ordinary, unnatural pug.
Re: Who wins Joshua or Martin?
Joshua mid to late rounds stoppage
I think he might gas a little and look like he's fading after a dominant opening. But he'll carry his power through out and catch Martin late.
I'll go 10th round with him leading 6-3 on the scorecards.

Anthony Joshua...KO around the 7th or 8th round I'm thinking

Re: Who wins Joshua or Martin?
When I say somewhat similar, don't underestimate the 'somewhat'! It's more that Martin reminds me of Green in a place-and-time sort of way; couple of nearly men. Although I'm sure Green would've beaten Joshua.Tuan_Jim wrote:I don't see it. Mitch Green was visibly a gifted, natural boxer with some graceful moves.
