was speaking to him earlier and he said he's been offered the chance to train at the calzaghe gym.
could be just what he needs, hopefully enzo can teach him to keep his chin down

Good opportunity for Martin, who comes across so well that you can’t help but to pull for him during a fight.

He wants to go nose-to-nose with Gary Woolcombe for the English title soon, although it looks like it will be Andrew Facey-Mark Lloyd in Wolverhampton early next for that particular belt.

Certainly wouldn't harm him, and I think he will benefit like Pryce has.

"Nose to nose" seems to have been at the route of a lot of Martin's problems lately.....altho' in fairness he's stopped 20 times more people amateur and pro than have stopped him.

As for any switch I couldn't see that move harming most boxers' careers. Although last time I saw Martin live his Dad was training him........I'm fairly sure Enzo isn't going to tell him anything his own father hasn't told him already.
Maybe a change would be all that is needed to breathe new life into his career.
Good luck to him anyway - no one can say MC doesn't step up to the plate.

It would be a hell of an achievement if Enzo can turn his career around

Don't think he should go straight into a fight with Woolcombe, Martin needs a couple of confidence building fights first.

Don't think teaming up with Enzo will do him any harm.

Conceptions chin is so bad anyone could knock him out..hopefully Enzo can change his style to that of a defensive counterpuncher, its last chance saloon

If anyone can do it Enzo can.
