AJ v Martin on sky's The gloves are off

Let's be real, it's an absolute joke.

 

This is a farce, but could bring AJ to world level and that would be good for HW boxing as it sets up AJ for a big unification bout later. Let's be honest: Martin is boring and has little skill. He's not the future. AJ maybe is the future, we don't know yet. Martin definitely is NOT.

 

The fact that it is for a world title is a joke, but don't look at it that way. I have no idea why any fans even pay attention to the titles anymore.

For me, this fight is intriguing because it involves a rarity in boxing these days; two undefeated prospects on the upside of their careers getting it on.

Forget the belts. They are bargaining tools and casual fan money makers. They have no value outside of that.

 

Without any ****ysis, i think Joshua wins the fight by a KO. The biggest reason for Martin to win this fight is that Fury said he would. But i still voting for Joshua.

 

martin comes across as mentally handicapped, its almost embarrassing, aj talks well even if he is boring

But it's a good opportunity for Martin. I don't get all that talk about Martin as a world champion. He didn't archive ****, he won it due to a knee injury in a title fight that never should've been a title fight. Still he choosed a hard fight - maybe. He is the underdog but he can win it, if he lands a clean "lucky" punch. If he lose he still gets a great purse as a reward for taking the fight. Even though Joshua haven't archived anything aswell he is one of the best PPV fighter in the division. So it all comes down to the fact that Martin is really lucky with having this opportunity. I don't know his purse before the title fight vs Glazkov, but i can imagine that the purse in the Glazkov fight was more than ten times bigger than in any other of his fights, and his purse in the Joshua fight is 3 or 4 times bigger than the purse in the Glazkov fight. 2 fights in 4 month, and he have earned what a average worker earns in 20-25 years.

 

Without any anlysis is basically saying "I just reckon Joshua because." Seems to be a lot of that. I like AJ's approach at the moment and wouldn't be surprise if he blew Martin away but I see Martin as a much better fighter than Whyte was and Whyte gave Joshua some issues, Martin has performed well against a legit top 10 fighter so he's been tested more at the higher end... there are definitely things which favour both fighters and the whole attraction to this fight for me is we get to see what it's really all about.

Be prepared for anything in this fight, I reckon.

 

Is "I just reckon Joshua because" different than "without any ****ysis"? If not - then you're right, but then i don't get why you had to point it out.

Btw. my ****ysis - Martin can win by a clean or lucky punch. He i slow and flat footed, no movement at all but he actutally have som hand speed, so maybe that is his possibility to win. Joshua is the better fighter, and he will win a easy decision if the fights goes 12 rounds - and it won't. So i think Joshua wins by a KO.

 

They should have just stuck a cardboard cut out of Joshua by the table. The guy got no charisma at all. A wooden plank is more interesting than that guy. Lol.

 

Joshua isn't that bad. He is a bit PR trained, but he is loose and relaxed. I think he comes across as dull in the boxing world as he doesn't get involved in any false, macho nonsense most fighters do these days to "hype" a fight. I actually find Joshua's approach quite refreshing as i am bored of the over the top theatrics that is so prevalent today. When everyone is doing it, it loses its meaning and appeal is clearly fake.

 

That's the impression I got. He's very arrogant.

 

i wouldnt say arrogant , he is too incoherent to come across as arrogant in my opinion. he comes across as maybe suffering serious mental issue ,maybe boxing related. hopefully he passes the british medical because im not sure if he is right in the head at all
