So after the Croydon ladyboy relinquished his belt the badass that is Martinez made light work of Rosales to become the new Champ. I like what I see when it comes to Martinez, he's a tough lad and has killer instinct. Harris has looked good but I can't help but think that this has come a year or so too soon for him, we'll see. My heart says Harris but my head says Martinez, I just think he's too much of a handful for Harris at this stage. This content is protected
Martinez looks beatable to me. I think selby would have beat him without the break between fights. Having said that I think he beats Harris unfortunately.
Martinez looks very beatable in terms of his boxing skills - he plods forward winging wilds hooks not bothered what he takes first. However, his athletic skills are brilliant - he has fast hands, solid fitness and is a big big puncher. That means these tidy, neat boxers who are good but not excellent will just get swallowed up. They'll win a few rounds but then get stopped as they can't hold him off. Harris will box well but will be stopped within 9 I think. Given Martinez' size at Fly, he could certainly clean up. I think he will struggle once he starts moving up weights, as his punches won't be as devastating and those taller boxers will outpoint him.
