Frank Lamar Martin vs. Artem Harutyunyan & Elvis Rodriguez vs. Viktor Postol RBR.

If he keeps going to the body he'll stop him. Needs to stop counter punching and just Errol Spence him.

 

Martin hurts Harutyunyan repeatedly and tries to put him down to no avail. 58-56 Harutyunyan.

 

Martin finally wakes up and beats Harutyunyan down that round. That could be a 10-8 round.

 

That's fine if you don't rate them, but I do. Martin is a good fighter but Shakur is more talented. He'd beat him.

 

It seems like Martin doesn't have great peripheral vision, everything on a curve comes in with him not reacting.

It's weird because those should be golden opportunities to counter.

 

Very good round from Martin, when he puts punches together and fights aggressively he can look very explosive but he's fighting in spurts too much rather than keeping the momentum up and forcing Harutyunyan back

Martin took the round off but still edged. Got winded with a body shot late.

 

Giving that to Martin. The body shot at the end was good but I don't think it was enough to snatch a round he was otherwise losing.

Harutyunyan 67-66

Really surprised Martin couldn't keep the momentum going.

 

Martin squanders the momentum he gathered by letting Harutyunyan outwork him again. Martin looks dejected in the corner. 68-65 Harutyunyan.

 

Martin blowing his prime time.
