FRANK MARTIN FIRST WORDS ON CLOSE WIN OVER HARUTYUNYAN; HONEST ON 'INSTINCTS OFF' PERFORMANCE

[vacaymcfallin]

It’s okay to say Harutyunyan has some power. It made Frank hesitant because he didn’t want to take or taste that punching power on the way in as much. Respect to his resilience attitude on the W.

[HeavenWilliams]

No more Keyshawn talk for awhile, he got a lot to work on.

Congrats Frank. You showed great will and sealed the victory.

Take the L BOY — stop blaming the opponents — Ghost is ANOTHER PBC Hype Job

[JermaineWV]

Styles makes fights. He is still ready for the top guys. People are expecting to see dominate performances from every fighter. It’s not going to happen.

[VoicefReason]

Y’all act like all the greats don’t have tough opponents that make it hard to look impressive against. Floyd had the same…Everybody had the same. Thinking it will never be a tough fight in boxing. Y’all were just screaming that Boots ain’t finish ol boy before this recent fight too.

This was a very good fight and learning curve for Frank Martin tonight. He wasn’t busy enough because Artem was his toughest opponent to date. He lied when he said he didn’t think Artem was tough. Artem was tough. Artem had the more heavier punches early on in the fight and Martin felt those punches. There was a point in the 6th round or before where Artem even hurt Martin with a body blow to his gut, in which Martin slowed down his own action and made him think about his exchanges in close. Artem had good foot work in a few rounds which threw Martin off a little bit, kind of confused him in a couple rounds.

Frank Martin was confused at one point on how to counter or hesitant if he should counter. This was indeed a very tough fight for Martin, this is the kind of fight he needed. He was actually losing this fight early and had to rally back to win this fight…and he did win it. It wasn’t easy walking down Artem as he had done to previous fighters. Why? Because Artem wasn’t dazzled by his speed and power, because he had speed and power of his own; and he made Frank Martin feel that power. So…when Martin was asked, …”was he a tougher fighter than you thought he’d be?” Martin lied when he answered “no”. Martin kept saying he was “off” tonight. Yeah…he was off because Artem was tough and very strong and so were his punches.

Artem's punches were the strongest Martin has ever felt so far in his career. Martin almost lost this fight because he wasn’t doing enough. He wasn’t doing enough simply because Artem was a lot tougher than he expected. Artem was tough, had speed and power and it caught Martin off guard and even confused him in a few rounds he did lose. His corner was right, Martin had to keep walking him down and stay busy with his punches. I say Martin wasn’t listening to his corner for a few rounds because he felt Artem's power and pressure. Pressure he hadn’t seen in previous fights. This was a great learning experience for Martin; letting him know that sometimes his speed and power is not going to be an enough to win a fight. Martin is going to have to dig a lot deeper within himself to win; as he did within the last 3 rounds of that fight. Martin’s defensive skills were on point but he took some good shots as well.

This was a good fight with a game, worthy opponent for Martin and he fought a very good fight. I give Artem a great amount of respect because he came to fight and he brought it to Martin; but he also lost this fight in the last 5 rounds. He just wasn’t as busy as he was in the first half of the fight. He stopped pressuring Martin. Great fight though!!

[fabiandavids]

Over look a dude martin loss or draw to be kind

[warriorsonly]

I like Frank Martin. But this shows that a fighter like Pitbull Cruz would hurt him.

[cutiger]

Thank the home town judges, Frank. You clearly lost the fight but was gifted the win, box and ribbon and all.

[GorillaWithThemGuns]

You barely won tonight. Can’t do that against the top guys like shakur, haney, and most certainly tank

[TThompson]

Great job Frank keep up the good work and let’s go collect Haney Head

[CensorTube]

He doesn’t even look like he fought ..must’ve been easy work.

[gddd]

I respect his honesty. He needs to be more active and stop head hunting. I believe he will always have a little bit of trouble because of his natural physical attributes. He is not the tallest and his reach is not the biggest as well. If the other guy didn’t take a knee, I believe he would have lost. I’m sure he will be better in his next fight

[Chris-yglz]

As a supporter his performance was not good, timing was off and power was solid he hurt his opponent eye but definitely could of did more body shots

[spikelace]

He should have let his hands go and been way more active he wasn't awkward at all
