Aye. Irrespective of how Martin got to be a world champion, how many heavyweight world title fights have been that decisive? Taking the piss

Decent enough performance I suppose

Who's this Saivet?

Still shite

Which, ironically, has cost him dearly.

He does have some funny ideas about higher education like. I tried engaging with him explaining that in 3 years at university I'd never once had a lecturer who attempted to influence my political views in any way. I also pointed out he was a hypocrite because he always banged on about the importance of 'real life' experience but he commented on what went on at universities despite never having attended one. Tbf to him though he seemed to have as much contempt for the Tories as he did the Labour Party.

You can guarantee the loan arrangement isn't a philanthropic act.

I think it was a no-brainer from the pov of Joshua's management team. At some stage in his career he has to take risks and although he hasn't fought anyone elite, he's got a crack at the IBF belt against a bloke who hasn't fought anyone elite either and is also completely unproven. It's a chance in a lifetime fighting someone like that for a proper Heavyweight world title and he needed to start fighting top 10 opponents anyway soon. He's about the level of fighter they would've been looking at anyway in the next fight or two if they were serious about fighting next year against whoever wins the Fury/Klitschko rematch. It just so happens this opponent is a world champion by a quirk of fate (there's no way he would've been if Fury hadn't won then vacated the IBF belt).

Given the line they took with Jimmy Carr et al and how that was 'morally wrong' then the legality or otherwise shouldn't matter that much. It's almost like they're a bunch of lying hypocrites.

It's canny steep like but it's an exciting British fighter going for the a World Heavyweight crown so it's a huge fight in UK terms.

Who've you seen Martin fight? I've seen none of his fights and know virtually nothing about him other than stuff I've read in the wake of his winning the vacant IBF title. I know he's unbeaten and he's a southpaw but that's about it. What's his style like? People talk about Joshua being unproven and it being a risk etc. but, going by his record, Martin is unproven at the top leve too as he's never really fought anyone elite either.

Time for Joshua to demonstrate if he can live up to the hype. Looking forward to it.

Aye.

I don't think you've thought that one through

Aye, he wasn't replying to anyone. Except himself. Actually there's someone he follows called Steve, which I think is his name too. Probably him. He used to have more than one account on that Howaythetoon board and reply to his own posts with different accounts.

Would've been more believable if you'd done it before I picked up on it. Nice try

Aye, it was just a rant rather than a reply to anyone. Think he mentioned 'Thick Mick' at least four times. Surprised Ant never got a mention.

Shows how little you know about me then. You're a constant source of amusement

More chance of Noelie's cock staying up that this lot
