Comments Thread For: Josh Warrington Drops, Stops Kiko Martinez in Seven To Capture IBF Title

[GlassJoey]

The 'Soul-Taker' will not disappoint. Dont go to sleep mlac, Tim Tszyu is going to get a clear win, which is more than I can say for this cheat Josh Warrington.

What the hell is going on over there in the UK?! Can we get a world-title contest settled without any controversy for a change? It seems that for the past two months now there has been nothing but rampant corruption going on over there. This stoppage was BS, Kiko had his hands up blocking most of Warrington's punches. Someone in the corner must of informed the official that Kiko broke Josh Warrington's jaw.

The whole thing started with Josh Warrington's deliberate habit of headbutting from the first round, that changed everything, even the DAZN commentators who were clearly biased mentioned Warrington's pattern of fouling as he always leads with his head.

That's what I get watching crap cards from the UK, the only good fight was from the women ; congratulations to the Aussie Ebanie 'The Blonde-Bomber' Bridges, Tim Tszyu is bring in another clear win tonight.

The headbutting is normally outshone by the volume of rabbit punches

Good performance by Warrington but those head clashes were bs. How many times can you fly in with your shoulder and head and bust up someone's face by doing it and not be deducted a point? Don't get be wrong, he dominated and deserved to me but that should not have gone unpunished.

I think the first headbutt was the main cause of Martinez's defeat. He was buzzed and cut when he went down in the first round after that headbutt, and never really recovered. Besides, the blood hindered his sight; he could not see some of the punches coming. Still, when he was able to catch Warrington, he was hurting him. I do believe that without headbutts and cuts, Martinez would have stopped Warrington.

And, for the record, the stoppage was premature for me, too.

You said it GlassJoey. The fouls were rampant and nothing was done about it, from round 1 all the way to the 6, just before the premature stoppage. I am sick to my stomach listening to these DAZN commentators celebrating Josh Warrington's hollow victory considering they acknowledged all those headbutts during the fight.

Great point , Warrington also had a broken jaw would have had to go 5 rounds with that who knows if he makes it ..IMHO the stoppage was also premature and said so in the fight thread..

You don't get reduced to this by punches only. Kiko looks as if he was hit by a sledgehammer.
