    Martin was awful beyond words.
    I was really hoping he'd be better than he'd previously looked, but he turned out to be worse. He was sh!t.

    It's 50-50 whether Martin would beat Gary Cornish.

    I mean more in terms of his ability as a fighter as opposed to how he handled the situation. I think Whyte was saying it may well get to him and it very much looks like it did

    Audley would probably be competitive with him, that's how bad Martin is.

    After the first round, I thought maybe Martin is going to let Joshua fall into the trap of feeling too comfortable and then surprise him with a big hard left.

    obviously it never materialised.

    He took 1 big shot and didn't fancy it anymore. - Heavyweight CHAMP my a$$!

    I'd like to think if I was heavyweight champ I'd keep getting up until I was out cold. How can he really be classed as a 'champion' when he didn't even go into that ring to win?
