Comments Thread For: Charles Martin: Referee Should Have Let Joshua Fight Continue!

[Kris Silver]

If he wasn't hurt then why did he roll around and sit on the floor until the 10 count completion was imminent?

Just because he remained cool and smiling doesn't mean he wasn't hurt.

He showed poise and he showed a good defence....pulled back to guard his chin every time....now he ain't a Pernell whitaker by a long shot...but as I have said to you many times....wager with me....ur gonna look pretty ****** come the the night those 2 fight....as for the right hands that joshua landed Saturday ....wasn't it the straight right that made fury pay a visit to the canvas....yep sure was....booommmmmm good night fury

Joshua has no head movement and is stiff as a board. He's fine against plodders like Martin & Whyte but Fury will jab his face to bits.

Easy work.

Joshua knows he isn't the finished article yet.

His head is also not a static target. Martin was made to miss repeatedly.

Martin is not Fury.

I have zero sympathy for fighters who wait until the ref's hitting 10 and get counted out.

[North Star]

Martin was disgraceful and just straight up quit. The count was clears as day and now he is just trying to save face, but sounding like an idiot saying anything at all.

The ultimate quit job.

Stay down until 10 is about to be counted, then start getting up and pretend you want to continue.

If you are going to quit then just do it, don't try and act like it was a mistake. I have no problem with guys that have had enough, but own it.

I hope we never see Martin in any big fights, that was embarrassing.

Love your sig

Refs usually let the fight continue in these situations. He was up before 10....give the fans a fight....thank God for Tony Weeks

Actually that isn't true.

If the ref looks at the fight and thinks that they can't cope with anymore they wave it off up or not.

Martin wanted no more. He was totally outclassed.

Funniest part is he got knocked down by the same punch, the same exact way, 15 seconds apart.
