Think about it man....he's been in boxing all his life, whilst Martin started late. I'll take the genius over the workman every day!

I've taken 2 L's on the books the last months though, through no fault of my own......

1. Montana Love throwing Spark out the fckin ring
2. Jared Anderson going into the red and throwing the gameplan out the window as soon as he gets hit against Forrest.
