Comments Thread For: Martin Targets IBF Title, To Withdraw From Breazeale

[SilverMiles]

It's a title shot give him a pass.

I was looking forward to this fight. Two undefeated heavyweights going at it. And just 4 days before the fight he steps out. If he had any confidence in his ability he would have gotten in the ring beaten Brezaele and than went on to fight for the title.

Him pulling out to me shows his lack of confidence in his ability. I could understand if the fight was a month or 2 away but it's this Saturday.

I was looking forward to this fight too. Two young guns going at it.

Hopefully Martin kicks Glazkov's ass now to make it worth it.

I thought Martin would destroy Breazeale, but something ****** like a cut can keep him from fighting for IBF title so good move to be safe. Martin KO8 Glazkov

Not too mad if he has a Heavyweight title shot although it means nothing to me personally. IBF is a paper title now.

However he should fight Brezeale for the experience of two undefeated contenders colliding. Breazele is kind of a ****ty slow fighter anyways

I see your point but I have feeling there trying to double it up with Wilder on 1/16

Too bad! I don't blame him but I was looking forward to Saturday's fight.

I hope this guy wins because **** Kathy Duva. That's Furys belt.

I was looking forward to watching Martin whomp on Breazeale. It makes sense for Martin though as this is an opportunity he can not risk.

Another causality of this unfortunate turn of events.

You would make an absolutely terrible manager.

Maybe Rigondeaux would be interested in your services.

He has a Team, they make the decision together as a team. Am sure he would like to fight since he gets paid that way, but the other guys promoter pulled him out of the Wilder fight too. All teams look at the bigger picture. They would not take the risk of either of them losing when they both can fight for the IBF belt.
