Round-by-Round: Luis Ortiz vs. Charles Martin - January 1, 2021

[lazboy]

Sanchez upping the pace and inflicting damage. Seemed to hurt Hammer to the body. Hoping Sanchez can keep up the intensity.

[KiwiRider]

Sanchez beats Whyte right now.
Too fast, too slick.

[skanksta]

He is fast and slick, but I reckon he's lacking a bit of JSQ to beat Whyte.

Lacks intensity - he's winning every minute but not looking like he's hurting Hammer.

[lazboy]

Sanchez lacks aggression. Completely understand ppl not getting behind him. He has the moves, he has the fitness, yet works to the level of his opponent and is unable to switch from counter-puncher to aggressor.

[gregregegg]

Hammer on 4 days notice of injury, just having a chat in there, hardly thrown, hardly been hurt, hardly been hit honestly...

how are you ment to push frank when this is how he preforms.

[skanksta]

tbf Hammer was in camp for something else, but Sanchez is doing the "skilled but boring Cuban" cliche.

I'm on the Big Frank bus. We ain't got no beers, but there are plenty of bananas and our potassium is high

Does Hughie's stock go up with this ?!

It's going to be an uneventful ride for you. Sanchez needs an aggressive dance partner to make things interesting.

[gregregegg]

Did hammer throw a punch that round? he has entered the Kingpin era of his carrer, just picking up a cheque. just plodding fowards getting hit, but frank is so negative he isnt even getting hit much in that mode.

[gregregegg]

I honestly think the ref knew that wasnt a KD and called it so the A sider had something nice written on his boxrec (or cause he was grumpy about hammer holding).

[CMCanavessi]

Let's see king Kong now

During the last three years, Christian Hammer has only defeated two of the six opponents he’s faced… and both of the fighters he beat were utterly disgraceful journeymen that had 24 losses on their record.

Frank Sanchez doesn’t need the rounds, since he’s fought plenty of them during his twenty-fight pro career.

Instead he needed an opponent that would challenge him, allowing Sanchez to learn and improve… and Christian Hammer was never going to be that guy!

It was an inevitably pointless fight that’s actually harmed the Cuban’s career by detracting from the forward momentum he gained from the Ajagba victory.

Has Frank Sanchez simply experienced a one-off bad day at the office or did we make too much of the Ajagba win (excessively flattering the Cuban, by regarding his victory over the Nigerian as a greater achievement than it really was)?

Yeah, it's lonely. Oogs wanted to come along, but he isn't cool enough so I'm making him follow behind on a scooter

[lazboy]

I've had to put a bet on to stay engaged. Martin by KO.

[skanksta]

Sanchez is a bit overrated probably.

But he can look a lot better than that against someone trying to win.

[skanksta]

Yeah I'm on the Prince of Wales at a big price.

He's top ten material. Maybe never a champ, but there have been worse contenders than him, we saw one already in Washington

I put a tenner on him too

What else would we be doing?
Spending time with the family?

haha!! I'm recovering from a new years bender.

[skanksta]

We're betting on King Kong's arthritis/dementia obviously.

Prince looks up for and energetic...

[CMCanavessi]

Sanchez is a bit overrated probably.

Maybe, but he's very skillful, technical and has great boxing ability. Add his great physical condition and it's a nice package. He lacks that decision to go forward and finish his opponent. But he's gonna be VERY difficult to beat. Either you KO him (not an easy task by any means) or you rob him on the cards. Beating him on points in a legit way looks very very hard.

Yes!
And it shouldn't be boring, someone is going down
