These odds are wider than the Khanelo fight. Crazy. I may throw a few bucks on a Martin upset here. Don't mistake unproven for lack of capability.
martin biggest purse by a long way was v glasgov 250k dollars in uk money about 170k what did dylan whyte get for the joshua fight ? money talked in this one i would guess hearn is trying to buy the title and is paying martin a big £1.5 million purse or about 2.3 million us money
Smart fight for both fighters. Whoever wins gets a MEGA FIGHT with Tyson Fury in England with 80,000 fans, with both fighters making easily over 10 million.
Reality is both are unproven even after this fight there will be big questions still to ask about the winner and if they can have continued success against the top fighters like Fury, Povetkin etc. But I have to say looking at these 2 unproven fighters, Joshua looks the far more capable. Faster, harder puncher, vastly superior fundamentals and technique. But you never know, AJ is unproven and perhaps Martin can somehow expose flaws that have so far been unseen in Joshua and maybe Martin can dig deep and show something we haven't seen from him before. Look at Froch, he isn't fast or technically sound either but his heart, desire, iron chin, stamina and iron will saw him achieve more than his meager talents suggested.
or he's being chased out without knowing it, maybe Al talked him into believing he can actually win :think
Winning a belt could force Joshua into tough match ups a little quickly. It does make for a more interesting division though.
This is all about the ppv Joshua did vs Whyte, nothing else. Haymon knows Martin is a second rater with no chance of any longevity, it's a cash in all the way. All thanks to those IBF criminals.
Andre Ward is a US fighter who is a WORLD Champion fighting in the States.. Where do you want him to fight, New York, Texas, Florida, Where? The UK fighters are scared ****less to fight over here, that's pretty clear! They don't make them like Naz, Hatton, Khan and Lewis anymore!hi:
