Look at the difference in fluidity, movement and stiffness between Martin and AJ

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Primal Pledge, Apr 5, 2016.

  1. One looks like a proffesional boxer with an actual skill set, while the other looks like your fitness first gym rat ending his workout with some box fit cardio.

    Easy work for Charles.

    Joshua is so tense. It's like he drinks lactic acid as a pre-workout.

    Smooth and Fluid almost like a HW Sergio Martinez, I've been saying for weeks now Martin would beat AJ's ass, I'm more convinced now than ever.

    I think AJ looks alright here.

    Leaning heavily on the straight right / left hook -- which makes sense since CM is a southpaw. Circling to his left away from CM's power which is a smart move.

    Looked less good when the pads came out -- but it's an open workout and I doubt they were 100% on it.

    I've seen some video of Martin published yesterday on YT and he looks to be in the best condition I've ever seen him... It's sink or swim time for Joshua, but I look foward to a good fight.

    There is shades of Bruno Witherspoon, Bruno just didn't have the skillset or engine. Still backing Femi to win.

    Charles is very average. Joshua is going to whoop that ass!

    You don't win gold medals at the Olympics or silver medals at the AIBA Worlds if you're a stiff gym rat.

    He is a stiff gym rat though, maybe a juiced one.

    Not as fluid as Mayweather though.
