Josh Taylor seems like a natural fighter if I ever seen one. I'm not a fan of Ryan Martin but the kid has fundamentals. I'm impressed to see any US fighter head to the UK for a fight. I think its going to be a good scrap. Is Ryan bitting more than he can chew?
Unfortunately is a very big step up in class for Ryan Martin, add to that he is fighting in Glasgow; just wait until you hear the Scottish crowd, they are incredibly loud really get behind their own fighters and are a bit intimidating, so Martin is at a huge disadvantage. This might sound a bit weird, but I notice Martin always wears his shorts just a little bit low, almost like he's trying to show of his physique, however this puts him at a disadvantage by providing his opponents more of his body as a target. What he should be doing is wearing them (and his protective cup) as high as he can get away with to protect his body. I know Josh will go for body shots early and throughout the fight. About Josh Taylor, this a local guy that has put in years of hard work and dedication; this guy trains and learns constantly, he has a solid amateur background, he's fast and powerful, has very good skills and a boxing brain. I fully expect him to go down as the best Scottish boxer in history when he retires. Personally, I like both fighters, but Josh Taylor is the local guy and he's a good guy too, so I am supporting him fully. I hope Martin puts on a good show though and still has a great career.
I like Martin and Taylor but Taylor looks like the better fighter and is fighting at home Taylor takes it.
Martin has quality and talent, but he hasnt faced tough enough fighters, it will be a learning experience for him.
Hopefully Martin comes to fight and give Taylor fits as I think he can. Taylor just seems too good you know? We'll see how the fight plays out. Big props to Martin either way. I wonder how much hes getting paid.
Not seen a single fight of his... Tallish African American LWW is about all I know of him lol is he any good???

I had more hope for Martin last week. This week's lead-up and the fight preview have proven that he's too much of a nice guy to win this. Taylor has a mean streak in him that Martin doesn't seem to possess. Taylor will win.
No idea who Ryan Martin is, never even heard/read anyone mention him before.But I didn't know who Andre Dirrell was before he fought Froch or Timothy Bradley before he fought Witter. Usually when you've never heard of a guy he usually ends up being not so good, but there are exceptions.
