I decided to look at Martin's fights vs. Joshua an Ortiz for comparison.

Joshua looked taller than Martin, who made Anderson look small. The right hand was similar to the one Anderson landed to put Martin down but was shorter and more direct. I'm not sure the ref should have stopped this one but I don't think it would have changed the result if he hadn't.

Martin showed against Ortiz why Anderson was hesitant to just come right in and mix it up with him. Ortiz is still a dangerous dude at 44. I've never seen a fighter who couldn't get up because the ropes had flipped and trapped his hand. The ref was right to give Martin another shot- until he'd taken too many shots.

Here's the Anderson fight:

Anderson may not be ready yet but martin is under-rated, better than a lot of guys I've seen fighting for the title in recent years.
