Martin with a soft touch opponent before one final attempt at a run. McKinney lost in 2 to Arreola and in 1 to Dante Stone.
I always liked Martin more than most, the circumstances of how he won and lost his title forever stained the rest of his career. He almost got King Kong Ortiz out of there before gassing, getting complacent and getting stopped.
I wouldn't mind him being matched with Richard Torrez, Jr but I doubt Ol' Bob sees the Olympian as ready for that jump on competition.
When Charles fell against Joshua, I think he slept so naturally and peacefully on the canvas. That had to be one of the top 5 all time great examples of sleeping peacefully on the canvas in boxing history
Decent boxer. Definitely better than prime Mike Tyson who was fortunate to be in a terrible era, walks the Earth like a God, former Champion of the World and P4P top 10 before losing a war with Anthony Joshua in a battle for the ages whilst wearing shorts three sizes too small. Nash out - His excellency
