    The ref slow counted and Martin still didn't beat the count. He was still down at 10 and in reality it was around 12 if you actually count it yourself. Martin quit.

    martin was either paid to bail, or was looking for a way out, being heartless. lost the ban bet, might be back in a month.

    The stopping was right. Martin was helpless.

    Joshua would whip him into hospital if the fight would have continued.

    He's your typical American.

    Glass heart.
    Glass chin.

    Folds like a lawn chair outside of the USA without his big box of PEDs.

    when you watch the round countdown clock on the tv martin the second time martin got up 14 or 15 seconds had passes since he was decked.

    but if i was reffing i would have let him carry on as his eyes were clear / just that joshua was timing him with straight right counters and martins poor footwork which was mentioned by brighton bomber before the fight means he overextends when he throws jabs and straight lefts and has no way of getting his feet under him if a big counter lands.

    these joshua counters would have put martin on his backside every time martin reached with a jab as he telegraphs them and leaves his chin/head exposed.

    but martin IMO could have defenatly carried on and should have got up straight away / took an 8 count and he would have still been in there with a chance.

    ref was not a mind reader.

    it looked premature, its possible he was fully aware of what was going on and trying to bid for a lucrative rematch by introducing controversy.

    Either way I think he knows he was beat whatever he did, he was getting outtimed and outboxed.

    Yep. Even if the stoppage was too quick Martin was going to lose. Probably by KO in the 2nd round.
