Thats a very solid fight. The kind of fight we always want to see. Undefeated contender/prospects putting it on the line
I watched some tape of both guys this week and MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN. This is a great clash of styles. Huge credits to both guys for taking such a stiff test at this point. Finally some upcoming prospects with BALLS to take tough and hard fights. Winner takes it all but the loser still there. There is no shame in losing such a high level fight. If Rivera can avoid the power left of Martin he can outbox Martin for sure. But Martin has the Derrick James X factor. Wouldn't be shocked to see him coming out and looking like an absolute beast. True 50/50 fight in my opinion. Can't wait. I'd rather pay for this one than for Fury/Chisora lmfao. Incredible matchmaking.
He was but i'm still not 100% sure if it was a slip or a legit temple shot which dropped him after all. Probably the latter but it looked kind of weird. He wasn't really hurt or so and stopped Fernandez two rounds later i think. Rivera has fought some solid opponents already. He's definitely ready for such a tough fight. Rivera gives me some big fat Ali flashback vibes.
I think Rivers’s an interesting character but I’ve liked Martin’s work a lot better so far, just really dig the guy’s style.
