Joe Frazier enters the 1967 WBA Tournament, How does he do?

That was a good moment for Martin. He had been knocked down and came back to KO Liston, but did an unimpressive job against Liston up to that point imo.

 

I partially agree with you. Martin was basically okay at anything, but I found him to be average in all of the areas u mentioned. I find his punching power overstated. He looked like a walkover for Ellis, who was only struggling w/ him cuz he was getting tired.

 

If I recall correctly, he had a pretty nasty cut early in that fight with Ellis. Everyone that ever fought Martin talked about his power. He was a solid guy.

 

Wins it.

 

U r correct. Martin was actually cut in three places actually: 1) a bad cut inside one of his nostrils, which triggered the stoppage, 2) a cut inside the mouth, and 3) a cut around his right eye, i believe
