    Consult a dictionnaire for the wording "fact". Then we can discuss again.

    Joshua hasn't shown anything against the corpses he has been fighting that he will do such.

    I think the commentary for that fight (the British commentary, anyway) had a large part to play in the illusion of that. I tend not to get influenced by the commentators. In fact, i often disagree with them. However, for this fight i was. They made it out that AJ was badly gassed and performed badly for a good few rounds after the second. Watching it again i noticed that AJ was obviously badly stunned in the second, but the third round onwards he wasn't as bad as i had previously thought. He wasn't gassed. He was just cautious. If he was gassed then you would notice it in his legs and punch technique.

    AJ done what any smart fighter would do after getting tagged whilst being careless; he fought smarter.

    I'm amazed so many are picking martin to win.

    Yes in the past aj has struggled with southpaws and that will be tricky for him to adjust to but martin is awful!

    He's far too upright, slow and has poor footwork

    I agree, think he thought - after the first round - this will just be like any of the other guys he's smashed up. He got hurt, then boxed smart. The amount of people going "he was out on his feet" is ridiculous

    He was enjoying himself too much in the 1st and 2nd rounds, was fighting recklesly and got caught. Round 3 to recoup and from the 4th he took control of the fight because he started Boxing how he was meant to.

    I think this fight is 50/50 just based on Joshua. I think Martin looks poor, he seems to box lazy but is still guna be the best Boxer AJ has faced. But Joshua,s stance alone does worry me, very upright, not very mobile, especially his head. Hasnt really been exposed yet, either its only a matter of time or it wont be an issue.

    How can it be a fact, when the fight hasn't happened yet? You're not making sense...

    Martin looks wooden and very stiff

    Martin is quicker than AJ, you'll see. Martin is much more fluid and natural at that weight and has better control of his speed. It's there when he needs it. AJ is getting hurt.

    Yeah Scott Gilfoid said Martin moves like a featherweight.
    That's enough for me to pick Joshua :yep

    I have to agree. I just dont see why people rate Joshua so highly but to be fair it is the casuals here in the UK rather than the real boxing fans who are on the AJ bandwagon just like they were on the Ricky Hatton bandwagon.

    I find the bulid up to AJ v Martin very similar to Bruno v Witherspoon and we all know how that turned out.

    This has that feeling all over it, no one giving Martin even a slight chance, writing him off entirely, all seemingly comatose to the reality of how limited a fighter AJ truly is, all totally asleep at the wheel in regards to Martin's skillset and speed. This has upset written all over it.

    I agree Martin is dangerous, I just also see AJ as really dangerous too :think

    I am loving this match up either way :bbb
