Err... which fight was Sandor Martin training for? I haven't been able to find the name of the opponent via Google search and he isn't named on any of the many boxing websites I've checked out.
In addition, Martin himself says he was simply in the gym and doesn't mention an opponent.
Being in the gym is totally different to actually training for an actual opponent - the training is obviously not as focussed and not as intense.
Therefore it seems that in fact Sandor has only had 3 weeks of proper training (i.e. focussed on an actual opponent) and this short time includes having to relocate to the US - after a transatlantic trip (either way) it often takes several days, sometimes a week, for an athlete to get back to feeling normal.
I realise that Lopez will have had to change his plans to focus on Sandor Martin for this short period of 3 weeks, however he had already completed a more intense period of training prior to Pedraza pulling out, and he also hasn't had to go through a transatlantic relocation.
Sandor isn't making any excuses at this point however Lopez imo certainly has the advantage in terms of preparation and should win comfortably.
Lopez prograis that’s a fight I want to see in the future
