    I respect that he picked himself back up and is working his way back up despite losing to AJ and even to Kownacki

    Don't listen to fans and people on Social Media, put your head down and WORK and that is what he is doing despite all the money he made from the AJ fight. He could've packed it in and retired after that honestly

      My opinion is the same as it was before he beat Washington...very low.

        Martin may have made something of himself if he had not won the belt. That may not make sense but I think it gave him a sense of entitlement and caused him to slack. He's not an elite fighter but with proper training and discipline he could be a good scrap for most guys in the division.

          Yes, yes he does. I thought he might have just enough left based on stopping Helenius and the fact that Prince Charles never beat anyone worth a damn except the mediocre Slava Glazkov by injury. Ah well...

            He's a "decent" heavyweight.

            In my opinion he got a little unlucky getting caught cold by Joshua, I think he could have taken AJ at least a few rounds but it just went wrong for him on the night.

            Glad to see he's had some good performances recently

                Can I just ask what your basis was on Washington winning that fight
                Was very surprised how many were picking him to win and just couldn’t grasp it
                I know Martin ain’t no killer but thought to be better than Washington
                Just asking
                I kinda said elsewhere... probably an underestimation of Martin - I mean the dude literally never beat anyone worth a damn, and the vain hope that Gerald might have enough left after seeing him beat Helenius even if he looked a bit shit right up to the KO. Thing is Gerald was once OK - never brilliant but a passable fringe top ten guy who had a coupla of fairly decent wins whereas Martin had never done anything except claim a default injury victory over Tsar Glazkov. It was always playing the odds though, I wasn't at all sure that Gerald would win - I just saw it as a much a 50/50 as you're likely to get on a bookies underdog and you gotta use your x5 somewhere.

                Mainly gutted cos looking forward to this weeks Pick Ems we got a pretty hot underdog in Chocolatito (vs Yafai) where I would much rather have spent my x5. Hindsight's always 20/20 though, as they say.
