I wonder if Bernard Dunne will ever get back in the ring with this guy. :)
Is he staying at super bantam or moving up?
There should be a rule, if you fail to make weight you HAVE to continue your fighting career in a higher weight class.
This isn't just for punishment, it's for health and safety. A fighter shouldn't have to kill himself to make weight and no fighter should be forced to have to risk fighting a much bigger guy who shouldn't really be in that weight class.
It would sort the wheat from the chaff.
I wanna see Kiko build a reputation and then fight someone like Genaro Garcia or Mauricio Pastrana.
Good step up fights if he continues to win...
Thanks for the news Gamo.
I was hyped about this guy until he ducked Wayne.
Someone asked about Bernard....He's just getting a new trainer; Micky Ward
One of my dream match ups El Gamo is Kiko Martinez vs Steve Molitor. I think that would be great.Quote:

I wonder if his team are going to pile on to betting on him knocking Munroe out in the first round, like they did v Dunne.

I'm just relaying what I heard here, so Don't take my word as gospel!
Dunne is taking on Mickey Ward as his trainer, you reckon it for publicity or is it a genuine move?
not sure, think he should fight again soon though, he fell off the horse
and he sure is taking his time to get back on! If he is teaming up with Mickey Ward I hope the first thing Ward does is tell him to quit all the showboating crap!
Yeah, he took it pretty hard I think.
But at the end of the day, it's up to himself, no trainer can help him in there and no trainer can force him to train either...
Are you involved with a BC phil?
nah man just a fan of the sport, would have loved to have gotten into
it when I was younger though, you still boxing yourself?
Yeah, boxing out of Olympic in Galway at the moment.Quote:
