Kiko Martinez returns March 7!

[El Gamo]

Unbeaten European super bantamweight champion Kiko Martinez (17-0, 14 KOs) will next defend against Rendall Munroe (13-1, 6 KOs) at Nottingham's Harvey Hadden Leisure Centre on March 7.

[Kirkland Laing]

I wonder if Bernard Dunne will ever get back in the ring with this guy.

[Kev]

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.

[CutMeMick]

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.

Bang on - my respect for Kiko went through the roof when he blew Dunne away. But his actions in Belfast pre the McCullough "fight" was a disgrace

True enough man....
From Galway myself, from Galway myself, you still boxing by any chance?

[The Rela]

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.

true but I was glad the fight never happened, McCullough should never fight again, nothing to prove and only gonna do himself harm and maybe get dropped in the process

[Tito BHB]

Aye yeah.. Looks an ok card actually specially for nottingham..

Was thinking of going myself.. I know a guy whos fighting on the undercard Kev Hammond

Thats right Phil, there have been rumours that his wife is the one pushing for another fight.

man if she cares for him theres no way she should be doing that,
time to let go!

[donnydarkoIRL]

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?

[Phil]

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!
