sako751sg Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Anthony Joshua and "Prince" Charles Martin fighting for the IBF title that was stripped from Tyson Fury. Seen quite a few folk saying Martin wins this but personally i cant see it unless he lands the big one but that can always happen in the HWs. Southpaw with decent power but his footwork looks shocking so im going for an AJ KO to give Britain another boxing WC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like you say anything can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sako751sg Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 Weigh in. Joshua a pound lighter and physiques are chalk and cheese,although doesnt mean that much esp at HW. The whole lead up has been very amicable which is good to see compared to some of the keech nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) sako - I well remember Frank Bruno's career. He would step into the ring and commentators would remark on Frank's physique, comparing it favourably with American boxers carrying a pound or two. Sadly, the overweight Americans regularly cheated by hitting Frank, rather than admiring his muscle definition. Anthony Joshua looks the part and I sincerely hope he pulls it off. Charles Martin can hit - it will be interesting whilst it lasts. Edited April 8, 2016 by Gordon R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Martin can hit - it will be interesting whilst it lasts. Same here,from the very beginning when old Harry Carpenter used to commentate on all Brunos gigs. Had one of the best jabs in the game but too muscle bound imo and always used to gas in the second half of his fights and that was his downfall. AJ hasnt been taken to the trenches yet regarding later rounds so time will tell on that front but as you say heres hoping he does it.

Konnie Posted April 8, 2016 Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 So do you chaps watch the whole boxing card, it says starts at 6pm what fights will get interesting at about what time. I might have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Ill try and watch most but some of the undercard will be pretty dire to be honest although this one is pretty stacked. All decent gigs from Rose and Macklin to the end imo and be interesting to see Nigel Benns lad fight also. Also have Manny Paquiao V Timothy Bradley which will be on around 0430 Sunday morning so will catch that and then head oot to try for a buck hopefully.

Gordon R Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 The photo of Martin must have been an effort for him. He appears to be breathing in - a lot. In the ring - he looked a little overweight in his abdomen. Still a top display by Joshua. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novice cushie shooter Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Made an easy fight of it. Fury get ko'd too! Wonder who aj fights on the 9th of july! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Pretty much as expected. Very good undercard and a new British HW World champion. Be interesting to see what fights are going to get made now.Fury rematches WK on July 9th and not sure who AJ will fight the same night. Manny Paquiao also beat Timothy Bradley this morning via decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
