* "Rocky" Martinez vs. Nicky Cook * Thoughts on the fight?

[ICB]

I haven't seen a thread for this fight yet, if so let me know and I'll merge the threads together...



Anyway, been thinking about this matchup and I think it was TitoFan or one of my panas from PR who I told that Rocky would win a title in '08.

Well it's '09 but I think the time has come for PR to crown yet another champ.

I think Rockys got the tools to beat Cook. I would like to see him more controlled in the ring and taking his time. I think sometimes he gets too anxious and rushes a bit.
Would like to see him control the fight and box more. I think if he catches "Cookie" it's lights out for Cook.

I haven't seen much of Roman Martinez if im honest only a few of his last fights, but i do know quite a bit about Nicky Cook with him being a fellow Londoner like me. And i honestly don't think he's world class.

No offense to the guy he fought a very good fight against Alex Arthur, but Alex Arthur isn't world class either. And there seemed to be something missing from Alex Arthur in there fight aswell.

Nicky Cook does have the skills but i'd honestly say, he isn't much better than Michael Jennings. I'd say there pretty much at the same level, and if the Roman Martinez is as good as you say he is, because my knowledge on him isn't very good.

He should beat Nicky Cook who was lucky to get a world title, but i'll be rooting for him all the way and this is a good first title defense for Nicky Cook so props to him. I just looked up and it seemed Roman Martinez had alot of bother with Daniel Jimenez ?

I haven't seen the fight like i said i've only seen a few of Roman Martinez's last few fights, but for anyone who watched the fight did Roman Martinez struggle in that fight like the scorecards suggest he did ?
