Comments Thread For: Charles Martin: I'm Going To Put Anthony Joshua on His Back!

He seems like a fun character at least. I just really hope he doesn't fold in a couple rounds. I'll enjoy the build-up on Sky and can't wait to see what both fighters are gona bring

may the best man win

Only reason Martin be like that is because he knows his is a paper title in the purest form of the phrase and he is thereby trying to legitimise it by fighting strong competition, which makes sense really.

Stirvirne also fought Wilder because he was trying to legitimise his paper title by fighting strong comp, except it backfired on him.

I don't think that theory on Glazkov is medically accurate!

Sure it is.

Martin didn't sit there and break that man's leg. That much is 100% dead on balls accurate.

I'm not saying he put him in a four figure leg lock, but to insinuate that Glazkov didn't fancy it because of he felt his power is ridiculous.

I like Martin in this one. Joshua is tough and skilled, but Martin just impresses me as a guy who's gonna bring it in a big way. If Whyte hadn't gotten injured, we'd be discussing he and Martin anyway. But on to biz, I'm thinking a few rounds of back and forth, then Martin goes in for the kill. Then he gets a real test vs Povetkin after his early rounds demolition of Wilder.

Do it Prince! USA is invading countries (Wilder Next) taking it to the world where is the support?! lets go!

[LacedUp]

Inexperienced yes, but is it any worse than Briggs vs Liakhovich ? It should be fun the fact their is a bauble at stake makes it significant, should Martin win and Povetkin wins too I think we'll see Martin on the road again, Martin wants to cash in with the big fights no padding his record a la Wilder.

There's a good few fights that could be classified as worse than this. Anything involving Valuev springs to mind.

At least these two are young, hungry, strong men in their prime.

should be a fun fight.

Martin arm punches with his hands low to get close. In every clip I have seen he fights this way.

He does that against Joshua he won't last a round.

[Nights King]

Expect a soft defence versus Chisora and then likely Fury Klitschko rematch winner to delay the Parker fight, Hearn and Joshua won't be in a rush to see that fight made, they'll milk Joshua.

Fury vs Joshua would be great!

But yeah I'm expecting Joshuas championship (if he wins) to be a long but spoilt reign.

I hope I'm wrong!
