Kiko v Munroe up next.

The scores on the doors for this fight are:

118-110, 117-111, 118-111. All Jason Booth. Good defence for Booth, though got caught towards the end as he showboated a little.

This next fights look like it's got KO written all over it. Martinez a massive puncher who demolished Dunne in Belfast last year, with Munroe having a 100KO record at this weight, having lost a bout one division higher.

It's fight time next.

Rendall Munroe...the Leicester binman with a lead fist is coming into the ring looking sharp in a training top and flashy sunglasses. "We Jammin" by Bob Marley is his ringwalk music, and Munroe doesn't seem to be too flustered by anything so far.

Kiko's roundly booed before he even begins the ringwalk, and looks calm enough, chatting with his coach on the way in, and there are some Spanish fans in the crowd cheering him too. Martinez's 22nd birthday today...will it be a celebration or not. They square up as Martinez steps through the ropes.

Next up....I predict fireworks for this one.

Italian ref in the centre of the ring tonigh, which migth be a culture change from Munroe, who looks in good shape. The Alicante man gets plenty more boos as he's announced to the crowd.
