Good fight.

Second quickest fighter in history (# of fights) to win a belt if he does it.

[Clegg]

Great fight, Joshua by KO.

Martin is so laid back he didn't even tweet the news. Remember after he won the belt he was like "oh ok cool".

Hopefully martin gets compensated accordingly
I think this will be a huge event

Charles Martin is an average fighter.

[Tom Cruise]

Quality!

Im not sure that AJ should be fighting for a title so soon, but as an opponent Martin is perfect.

I actually he was looking ok in those first three rounds vs Glazcov and im interested to see how he looks. He has the size, height and is a southpaw to boot.

Should be a great event at the O2
