Eddie Hearn is paying crazy money to Martins because he knows AJ will win

I'm really favoring Joshua, but this is a big step up for both men.
For Martin it turned out that the huge Glazkov stepup ended without an actual fight and he has nothing else to show for it on his resume, while Joshua's claim to fame is a slugfest with borderline top50 Whyte.

These guys are prospects fighting for a title. Everything can happen.

 

CM stops AJ

 

He's also paying massive money because Joshua is a massive star, which means he can afford to pay massive money to his opponents. Joshua won't be on free-to-air TV again for a long, long time - regardless of the opponent. Hearn has already alluded to Joshua having earned millions already in his career - which is bonkers when he's only been a professional for 2 and a half years with 15 fights.

 

Martin knocks this stiff robot out cold.

 

Would love to see Joshua get "Knee'd" by Martin, the hype has simply been too much for me to stomach.

 

CST what will your opinion of AJ be if he beats martin? Obviously depends on manner of victory but surely you'll have to rate him even if it's a close points win, as you think martin is pretty good.

 

That's great always like to hear boxing getting good compensation but AJ should win this

 

The fight is probably going to be fixed.

I wouldn't be at all surprised by Martin getting battered by a series of after-the-bell punches, hold-and-hit jobs, and other fouls that go unpunished and then being hit with unexplained points deductions and warnings on his way to losing via an all-time "British stoppage".

He'll get well paid for it though. atsch

 

I see this too.

 

Martin needs to extend Joshua rounds and then KO him. Joshua has no stamina and no Chin. None.
