Comments Thread For: Adam Kownacki Decisions Charles Martin in Action-Filled Fight

Pulev, Chisora, Whyte, Kabayel, Teper, Povetkin, Hammer, Ruiz jr, Miller, Breazeale, Parker, Duhaupas, Takam. All these guys are better.

No, not really. Kownacki and Martin belong in that group and I'd favor them over about 1/2.

Very entertaining fight. Maybe they are at the top of the HW division but they put on a very good show. Kownacki punches looked incredibly slow but he does seem to have a thudding power (as opposed to an explosive power), he throws in high volume. Because the punches are so slow and it takes him a while to get them back to a defensive posture, and they are being thrown so often, he leaves himself wide open to be hit more often than not.

Martin seemed to lack confidence for a good portion of the fight. When he decided to fight back he was able to land some really nice shots. He's a big guy but seems afraid to get physical or sit down on alot of his punches.

I wouldn't mind seeing either fight some of the other contenders on the fringe.

Martin put up more of a fight than I expected

Yes, I think he at least disproved the theory that he is lacking in heart. He got absolutely pummeled the first 1/2 of the fight and showed no signs of quitting or even going into survival mode.

Duhaupas is top 30 maybe. Pulev maybe. Breazeale defiantly

I've given Martin a bunch of s**t for seemingly diving against Joshua, but...he actually showed a lot of guts in this fight. Gotta give him credit now.

I thought his head was going to come off in the 10th round. What an amazing fight.

I'm catching up on all the recent fights I couldn't watch live. THe commentating is terrible for this fight on Showtime. The guy is giving Martin absolutely no credit for anything he does. At one point in the 3rd round he said Martin isn't doing anything while he landed 6 unanswered body shots while leaning on Kownacki in the corner. He has sustained a steady body attack to Adam's gut but he has taken some good shots doing it. It is quite obvious what Martin's game plan was going into this fight. Work the body early & tire him out...

This clown has not said anything positive about Martin. Martin lands a great straight left that stops Kownacki in his tracks then hits him with a nice sweeping left & he said nothing about either punch & just goes on babbling about Kownacki...

It is pretty obvious who Showtime is backing as the commentator doesn't acknowledge any of Martin's work & in between rounds they only go to Kownacki's corner. I get it that the crowd is a lot of Polish but man it is pretty one sided. Martin would need a knock out just to score draw... They finally went to Martin's corner after the 8th round & the tide had turned. Martin taking the fight to Adam now. Kownacki is clearly tiring. The early body work by Martin catching up now...
