So, tell me who had a crystal ball to know Martin was gonna freeze up? No one knows that. Judging by talent alone, yeah, Martin should've been a 50/50 fight. We just didn't know he'd panic and lose all his skills soon as the bell rang. It happens sometimes. No way to predict it.

Why are you telling me that? You should be saying it to deathofaclown. He's the one that called Martin a bum. I, like Peter Fury, thought it would be more competitive but I thought JOshua would eventually KO Martin

Deathofaclown originally posted it. And besides, I'm not starting a war here friend. Nothing to blow a gasket over. What I said is true, afterall.

[Corelone]

Fury beats the best heavyweight on earth in Russia, the number one feared guy, but it didn't look good, it stunk. Joshua KOs modest Martin, a two hitter, he hit Martin and Martin hit the floor, at home, and now he's the second coming? The level of competition has a lot to do with how things look.

[Raonic]

I bet they pick Haye to fight.

OK Mr Hollywood Insider. Common knowledge Wlad suffers from panic attacks, had never fought anyone his size, or that tricky, his wife was having some kind of mental issues after having the baby, etc etc etc. No news there. Spill the beans now if you've something truly unknown. Don't worry, the Klits won't write out a contract on you.
Ha

Nope, not yet. I'll wait until Wlad KO's Fury and then I'll tell it.

[ThumperMcDougal]

Lol sign do you think Joshua promoter sees? Like you said he is a promoters dream, he now speaks when because he has been told to, he doesn't need to call anyone out or speak bad of anyone because he is the golden goose, everyone would want to make more money fighting him.

So true man. AJ could bring boxing back to the masses. He could sell huge arenas out in whatever country he wanted to if marketed right. And I think he will be.

He didn't freeze up. He got blasted by a much better fighter.

Anyone with common sense could see he froze up, just by his body language. Yes, the end result was he was blasted out, but the reason why was panic. Panic causes tension, and a tense fighter gets dropped much easier than a loose, relaxed fighter.

Ha. OK friend, whatever you say. Just tell us what happens when it's a repeat of the first matchup? Cuz that's the odds.

[BoxingIsGreat]

Maybe Joshua can fight Ortiz next.

A lesser fighter also gets knocked out by a better one, especially one that hits like a truck.

That's all it was.

If another promoter wants to put a fight on Sky they have to go through Matchroom due to their exclusive deal. This is what Hearn said on one of his IFL interviews.

I know about the Hearn deal. It's been talked about so much. Sky boxing is dead right now.
