Martin has better wins and a higher KO ratio than whyte

Name one good Martin win. Just one. And I don't mean that fellow who slipped and hurt his ankle, which should have been an NC.

I think it was his knee and yes should have been a N/C

B.s

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.

Anyone seen that Carl froch interview on YouTube were he talks about being worried for Joshua and Martin s huge left hand power

At times he was

Martin bangs harder with his left than whyte remember he is a natural sputhpaw

Joshua was in lala land for a couple of rounds when whyte hit him

This fight has a buzz to it

Is that Carl who is employed by Sky Sports and is a good friend of the fights promoter?

Abosultey no way he hits as hard as Whyte.

He was straying from the script

With the left hand he does

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

Martin was out boxing an Olympian in glazkov

He is being under rated

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

The future peoples champ is about to graduate to the current peoples champ

Haha! Martin's the same height as Green I believe, I'll give ye that.

I saw a midget winning the fight untill he hurt his own knee in round 2 and 3.
