AJ against Martin next week. Since Martin won the belt by default I think AJ has a good chance. His last fight did flag up some problems but hopefully they've been fixed.

Then again if he wants to become a great heavyweight champion in the future Martin is exactly the sort of test he needs to pass. |

Help!
If anyone could fill in this questionnaire for my research project it would be greatly appreciated.
It involves the effect of sport betting advertising on sport consumption. Many Thanks. https://docs.google.com/a/student.le...bMvU4/viewform |

Using words like 'finally' woke up from his coma - shut up Eubank.
And saying "i've got something for you" like he's a nice bloke. It's not about you!! |

The referee for Blackwell/Eubank became a spectator, instead of doing his job.
He should be banned. |

The Mail's Jeff Powell claiming it will be at the Manchester Arena and televised on BoxNation. Very hard to believe those details are correct.

Predictions
I'm sure there's a lot of views on these two fights:
1. Martin v Joshua I'd like to see Joshua win, but there are no short cuts in boxing. It's a very, very tough business. Joshua just doesn't have enough experience or rounds under his belt for this level, and I think he'll get stopped. If he does win, he won't retain the belt for long. He takes risks, and that's great for the spectators, but as Lewis showed, at heavy weight, one punch and it's lights out. Lewis came back like a true champion, but he showed too much cockiness before the McCall and Rahman fights, and paid the price. 2. Fury v Klitschko. The opposite to Joshua. Tyson has bags of experience, and will win again. He's controversial, but I like the man. The travelling community get a lot of stick, and both Fury and Saunders are extremely good champions. Good luck to them both. They have worked extremely hard, they haven't taken any short cuts, and both deserve their success. |

I think Fury definitely has the measure of Klitschko and will win again comfortably. |

My concerns for Joshua are he lacks lateral movement and is very statue like, relying heavily on his punch power, very similar to Bruno. You need more than a huge punch to be a long standing champion. Best of luck to Joshua for tomorrow though. |

Carl Frampton has been stripped of his WBA belt just weeks after winning it from Quigg. And erm.... it wasn't a split decision win unless it's me who's mistaken? details below.....
The WBA says it wrote to Frampton following his split decision victory at the Manchester Arena on 27 February to advise him that Rigo was the mandatory challenger. However, the Jackal’s camp has since indicated an intention to move up to featherweight to face Mexico’s Léo Santa Cruz this summer. According to the WBA, Frampton’s team has also failed to respond to requests for clarity. On those grounds, the governing body has stripped the Tiger’s Bay man of his belt. |

You know funny as it sounds - AJ could win this fight by boxing clever with the jab at distance and the champ wouldn't get anywhere near him.
I don't expect him to fight that way because his ego will take over. Martin is simply a brawler and the war that AJ wants is the exact tactics that could see him beat ... I still expect AJ to win though as I am not sure that Martin is good enough or strong enough to beat AJ at his own game. But still one punch can change that ... |

If Joshua wins tonight they have his first defence for a summer ppv and Joshua does big numbers. His box office. Quote:

It was a split decision. Not surprised with this. No money in a Rigo fight.
