Martinez v Warrington - Prediction's

Warrington has had a hard career and the Lara fights looked like it has caught up with him. Frankly, he looks shot. I think Martinez will stand on him and take him where he no longer wants to go.
Kiko to do a wearing down job, stopping Josh on his feet around the ninth.

 

Tickets for this have appeared on Bluelight over night. For anyone who has access, annoyingly my parents are coming up.

Suggest moderate ticket sales

 

I don’t have a strong opinion on Warrington specifically, quite the opposite. But there is always such a ridiculous over reaction to one fight - in this case Lara I. Going into Brook - Khan the perception was that Brook’s punch resistance had completely gone. I couldn’t get my head around it as it was all based on one stoppage v elite Crawford. Brook has always had a superb chin otherwise. When in fact it is obviously Khan that has been chinny throughout his career.

With regards to Warrington - Kiko this is what I do know. Josh might be cautious and under-confident but it’s too early to say he is on the slide. He’s only 31 after all.

Despite the win v Galahad, I look at what had happened in the fight until the stoppage. Galahad was boxing his ears off and I could see a mercy stoppage around the corner. He’s 36 after all.

Josh almost certainly isn’t as good as people thought he was 2 years ago but I see him winning here, maybe by later stoppage.

 

I would of thought the same and I was going to pick josh by pts but I just feel this is going to be a war fought up close.

 

I have a feeling Warrington is going to lose this. Just a hunch, I could be completely wrong, but I think he may be on the slide just that bit too far.

 

He has always had a very high guard. Don't get me wrong the shots he took on the gloves from Lara were still having an affect, and I think he would have got knocked out. But there was not enough for me to say his punch resistance had gone.
