Did anyone watch Callum Smith there? He looks very impressive, that guy had never been stopped!!. A monster at that weight. George Groves shouldn't go anywhere near him.
That was never a square ball!!

Yes very impressive. Some very big fights for him still to come though. Very big for that weight. Lots of power.

The very fact that this is a world heavyweight title fight shows what a farce boxing has become...

Agreed!  Ridiculous,  especially the heavyweight division.  Sky trying to build Martin up to be something other than a lucky world champion.

2 huge shots he doled out there in fairness!!!

Tony Baloney

Ricky Martin would have lasted longer.

Yeah, but that's missing the point slightly

Charles Martin was always a sitting duck tonight. Given £2.5m to come over and hand Joshua an easy title, as Boycey said, never a Heavyweight world title fight. Having said that, Joshua can punch!!
That was never a square ball!!

Will Tyson Fury fight him?
I don't think so.

Milltown Row2

Had 4 quid ob Groves to win knockout in fourth round!!!
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Seen Frampton stripped off his WBA title there for not defending against Rigondeaux. Looks like a fight against Santa Cruz is on for he summer tho.

Must be frustrating for Rigo tho, he is the most avoided man out there

Would like the same level of patience be applied to Canelo by the WBC

Was Rigo not stripped of his WBA belt because of inactivity?

Yeah. No one would fight him.

Didn't really learn anymore about Joshua last night that we don't already know. Wasn't tested at all, was very disappointed by Martin. Hope to see Joshua in with someone with better footwork! He has been wobbled in his last fight so I am still on the fence as to whether he is the real deal or not. Groves looked sharp but again he wasn't up against much. Pacquaio beat bradley and has announced his retirement as well. Watched a bit of it there, went pretty much as expected.

More to it than that surely? Stepping aside for big fat paycheques & the like?
