Can't believe how many clowns on here are picking Martin to beat Joshua

I can 100% guarantee I'm better at picking winners than you, do you even follow the sport beyond HW? That's all you ever post on, and half the time, you don't even get those predictions right. I love how sure of yourselves all you AJ fanboys are, and I have 0 idea why you have any right to be. Whyte would have probably stopped him had his shoulder not went out, you can see the moment it does, he was hurt badly, or do you just blind yourself to that reality? And yes Martin is far better than Whyte, who's a caveman.

 

F*** off, I don't give enough of a s*** about you or SimplyTheBest to do that. And I don't do ban bets, so I'm definitely not doing that.

 

I don't even notice you exist when I'm not on Wlad threads, and you're entitled to your opinion no matter idiotic it is most of the time. If you start getting under my skin, which you don't, I can always put you on ignore.

I fully believe in Martin, but I also fully believed in many other fighters that have come through for me, and I didn't bet on any of them either. Because lifetime ban bets and ban bets in general I think are pretty ****ing gay.

 

Probably, I seem to recall something like that.

 

It does look a mismatch when you watch them both on tape. Joshua should be able to catch Martin with something big when he paws out that weak jab of his and take him out. That said, it was alarming how Joshua seemed to run out of gas for a couple of rounds (IIRC) after shipping those rips to the body from Whyte and at the time I felt Whyte could have got him out of there had he picked his shots more wisely after hurting him to the head in the second round. That was an injured Whyte, too.

Joshua has size, power in both hands, a good ****nal of punches at his disposal and very quick hands for someone of his gargantuan dimensions. Those attributes alone will be too much for most to deal with. He is still raw though and he makes mistakes that more experienced world class pros will be able to exploit and punish him for making. The same goes for Martin. So far they've been able to get away with it as the level they've been fighting at and their size and power has been enough to get the job done.

Martin's 2 best wins came against roofers and the Glazkov one was a complete fluke so it means nothing. But if an injured Whyte can hurt Joshua and cause him the problems he did then I don't see why a healthy Martin with 2 good arms isn't capable of doing the same if he can avoid getting caught or his chin is sturdy enough to withstand Joshua's power for a few rounds. Even if he does have a good chin it might not matter because Joshua can get him out of there with his fast combinations. Obviously Joshua can be hurt but there's a big question mark regarding Martin's chin, too. No one's seen him get hit yet and he's fought a procession of roofers and store detectives. Joshua has only really fought one opponent who could punch and came to fight but at least he's proven he can hang with the best in the amateurs.
