Was Charles Martin genuinely terrible or just got caught cold?

    the best win is joey dawejko. and i think dawejko was even more out of shape then he usually was, he hardly schooled him and ko'd him brutally, joey was too tired to continue.

    Martin is a lazy fighter with slow feet and a bad jab, he just has a pretty good left hand.

    I have no idea how good he is. He has fought two guys above domestic level (area level even?) in which he hasn't even completed five rounds. One pulled out in injury in 3 and the other knocked him out in 2.

    Against Joshua, Martin clearly took a cash out, he came over with no intention to win, got put down twice and second time he made no attempt to get back up and was literally laughing when he got counted out. Guy was happy to take his payday and leave taking as little damage as possible.

    Tonight we might actually find out what level he is at as Kownacki is at least proven as a fringe level contender. We shall see.

    I have a sneaky feeling he is gunna upset Kownacki, Kownacki has the defense of a punch bag.

    Martin is no good but Kownacki is probably even worse, he gets overrated because he beat Szpilka, who obviously
    underestimated him, Kownacki looked horrendous against Kiladze, if Martin shows some heart and toughness which he didn't show yet he will beat Kownacki.

    Yeah he looked very beatable vs Kiladze the extra weight made him slower to get his shots off and that saw him hit a lot. I think Martin beats a 263lbs Kownacki too as long as he doesn't fold at the first sign of adversity.
