Comments Thread For: Martin Vows To Make Adjustments Like Mayweather, Confuse Joshua

[TheBoxingfan101]

martin makes good points and remind me a bit of when fury fought klitschko,
before hand peeps were talking about klitschkos muscles and physique and saying fury is fat blah blah, look how that turned out lol

This is why I said I don't know what to make of these two fighters, Martin seems like the calm skilled head but I haven't seen enough of him to judge him that far, Joshua at best is a prospect with a lot to work on, I understand this was an opportunity that came a bit too early for him but sometimes you got to sink or swim.

[ShoulderRoll]

Which he can't.

He fights like a 20s throw back.

He fights like Harry Greb, Benny Leonard, Gene Tunney, and Mickey Walker?

[Cuban Linx]

Almost died laughing.

[Fury4daWIN]

Which he can't.

He fights like a 20s throw back.

You're right. He fights like a black(er) Jack Dempsey.

To all who haven't seen Martin. Time for a laugh.

Seen it - laugh as you may, the key differences:

1) The obvious - Joshua one punch KTFO Love in the second round... which is what makes it seem like he is a completely different league until....

2) Ignore how ugly it looked and reailse that Love wasn't landing anything on Martin, whereas he hit Joshua with at least two clean hits in the 2nd round before Joshua landed the KO shot.

They walk different paths to their wins but just because KOs are more spectacular doesn't mean they are more valid. Don't count Martin out just because his style isn't pretty. Joshua just goes in trying to knock someone out by comparison to others at the elite... it looks cool but when he goes against a counter puncher it could get unstuck. Hell, even a messy/inaccurate Dillian Whyte managed to rock him not even off a counter.

Be interesting to see what happens to his hype train - Martin isn't the biggest threat he's going to face though, winner of Parker vs Takam will make his life interesting if he beats Martin

I should have added Without the footwork or head movement.

You guys say Joshua is stiff. In every fight I have seen Martins head is ridged.

Can't wait to watch this fight, people are writing Martin off too soon

2) Love wasn't landing anything on Martin, he hit Joshua with at least two properly clean hits in the 2nd round before Joshua landed the KO shot.

The ref allowed the fight to go on for 10 rounds without him landing a punch. Are you kidding?

The guy was knackered.

Martin went in arm punching him, with zero snap in his punches.

Mayweather comparison is rediculas.

Don't think Martin can tie his shoes himself, let alone make adjustments during a fight. Hell, he probably can't even spell 'adjustments'.
