wow ok, glad i was wrong.

still a big risk, martin looks like ****e...but he could still KO joshua

Hopefully Martin gains some respect now!

He took a world title fight on short notice with his back against the wall not his fault his opponent had a freak injury.
Not like he is trying to hold his title hostage like a lot seemed too think, he wanted Wilder, Fury and took the next best thing in Joshua. He deserves nothing but praise and part of me wants him to do well, I hope he proves all these doubters wrong.

Good fight. ,,

And credit to Martin for taking on the supposed biggest and best up and comer in his first defense!

This isn't eric molina folks.

Lol please. We all know the only reason Martin got this fight is because Hearn sees him as an easy mark and a guaranteed belt for his prize horse in his stable.

That being said, good fight, looking forward to it but think it ends in under 5..

Too be honest I kind of like Martin. He seems pretty relaxed & is taking it all in stride. I like Joshua too but he is getting praised like he is the 2nd coming of Jesus. I mean the 3rd coming of Christ as Anorek is the 2nd coming but Joshua seems pretty humble. I kind of want Martin to win because of all the hypetrain stuff I see here. Klitschko fans have completely disappeared since he lost which is pretty funny considering the nuthuggery that went on here for the last 7 years I been on this site. Everyone hyped Dimitrenko & David Price & they got crushed. Posters went back erasing threads because they were so fooled by the hype. Joshua is the next hype train. Is he the next great one or the next one to get exposed?

A match-up to actually get excited for. I thought AJ would take it a bit slower, but he's going right for a world title. Martin is making up for the unfortunate outcome of his last bout and defending his belt against a very hungry opponent.

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

It'll be a huge PPV with a huge gate.


Martin's getting paid. Most likely in the $1.5-$2 million range.

Big ups to Martin for taking on a legitimate contender

[El-blanco]

Props to both guys for making this fight at a crucial time in their careers. A brutal ko could ruin them but they said **** it and made it happen. It's going to be a long day of drinking.
