    Just as I predicted, Martin got shafted in the UK

    Here's what I saw.

    Round 1: Good feeling out round for Martin, you can see him trying to get used to the angles, he stats to time joshua towards the end of the round

    Round 2: Martin starts stong, lands a counter left that stuns joshua, gets flash knockdown. Get's up too fast, flash kd again. Martin realizes he needs to take his time and clear his head, gets up at 9.

    Fight waved off.

    What a load of BS, Martin was never going to win early, the plan was always to take it late, he had already stated to time joshua by round 2.

      Great take on the fight, I think the same. The ref that Hearn paid saw that Martin was getting comfortable and starting to come on. The ref knew Hearn spent money on those confetti flyers and had to help Joshua win. It's a shame it wasn't a fair fight

        When you're in foreign territory, NEVER play around with the ten-count. That's one of the cardinal rules of boxing. I kinda feel bad for him, but it doesn't seem like the punch landed flush, so he should've been up ASAP. I know it's harder for these big-ass HWs to get up, but he needed to get up straight away especially because it was 2nd time going down and he needed to show the ref he was alright.

          Stated or started? No man. Martin looked dejected after that second knockdown.

            LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO Martin may have been the worste heavyweight title holder of all time. His defense is a straight joke, no head movement what so ever. He also doesn't even throw combinations

              Only two rounds of work and his biggest pay day ever.

              Martin is flashing his big gold teef all the way to the bank.

                He didn't want to continue. If you get dropped twice in quick succession, you go to your knees and begin to rise at the 8 count. Fighter should know that the referee is looking for a sign that they and are able to continue

                  9:58. Ref gets to 10. Knocked down at 1:38 left in the round waved off at 1:23. He had plenty of time.
