Anthony Joshua vs. Charles Martin (c) - April 9th 2016

[Starboxer]

Martin is ready to go

[Starboxer]

Anone think Joshua looked spooked

[jamesmcdonnell]

Look at Martin sucking his gut in.

As for Joshua's physique. . . . Libel laws leave me wordless.

Bruno had a better physique than Joshua and better stamina

Better how? What are you basing the stamina on, given Joshua's not even been 12 rounds yet.

I'd say that Joshua's output of punches is quite impressive for a man of his size.

[Rexob]

Martin is ready to go Home with his tail between his legs

No.

Your shilling is of a poor standard. You obviously don't believe what you're writing.

[Stuarty]

No. Did you?

Bruno had a better physique than Joshua and better stamina

And what..? Think Bruno was clean?

[Counter-puncher]

Wait- you mean it isn't just a genetic disposition towards high muscle density?

[reggaereggae]

Please God check out the weigh in video. When Joshua walks on stage and greets the people Tupac's ghost momentarily overcomes the body of Adam Smith. Very funny to my simple mind. Very funny.

Don't stress blud.... Adam Smith just be keeping it real.... Man dem is more dangerous than you tink... Man crush haters and fakers with a left hook innit

He was knackered after 3/4 rounds against Whyte, doesn't really bode well for him as he's taken deeper into fights.

Of course not. No professional athlete surrounded by the best physical trainers and dieticians who trains full time can have big biceps and a six-pack without pumping himself full off drugs

He can't keep that Pace up. I agree though he was throwing close to 100 punches a round in the whyte fight , power shots as well

[HellraiserBoxing]

So Joshua v Martin tomorrow

What are your predictions and why? Here's mine

Bruno did

[Counter-puncher]

Oh god

[Starboxer]

I will be so happy if Martin wins especially if it's the eighth or ninth round

Show me the money

[Sklar]

Oh god

It's unfortunate that people don't get a better handle on this issue. The common misconception is thst if people pass drug tests they must be clean. That's complete nonsense. The allowable ratios for testosterone are ridiculously high, which practically gives a green light for steroid usage up to that level. Tests for HGH are crap, so are rarely done and are ineffectual.

[Counter-puncher]

Indeed

[Starboxer]

If I had money on Joshua i would be worried after that weigh in

I read on YouTube that one guy put 10k on Joshua for a 2k return ,madness

[lefty]

Oh god

The CIR test is probably the best test available currently (although still not perfect) but it's expensive so doesnt get used as often as it should be.

Must be true if you read it there.

I think it's unfortunate that every athlete is viewed with such staggering suspicion.

Maybe they are using. Maybe they're not. But the suggestion by some (with clearly very limited medical or physiological knowledge) that it is simply impossible to achieve these sorts of results without resorting to dodgy methods is utter garbage.

An example closer to home - my brother plays rugby (amateur level only). He goes to the gym for an hour or two, probably three times a week. He plays once and trains once. He has a terrific physique. And I guarantee you 100% he takes nothing. He even ditched the protein shakes.

As I say, a passed test doesn't guarantee a clean athlete. But the way some of you guys go on in here, it's like anyone with some definition is clearly on something

That's actually how some people's stomachs look.

his stomach is like that(turtle belly) because hes quite obviously taking either growth, insulin or more likely both

hgh is near imposible to test for as its a natural hormone the body produces and cant be detected the same way say testosterone is detected by checking your test levels
