    But obviously, we don't know before Saturday.
    Joshua hasn't shown that he can go past 8 rounds and looked to be huffing and puffing by the end of his last fight. With his overly muscular build it would be a smart plan to try to extend him the distance and see if he doesn't fade late.

      Not to mention if Martin is wobbled or even slips the ref will be looking to step in and stop it prematurely. Citing the Nick Blackwell incident.

        he was huffing and puffing in rounds 2-3 not rounds 6-7. He caught some huge body shots and that takes it toll. He proved he could go past that and didn't look tired in the last rounds.

          Unless he's got an adamantium jaw, he wouldn't want to be in with joshua for 12 rounds

          taking him out early on the counter is the plan.
