Martinez is one of the most humble guys you will ever meet. Tremendous person but with a heart of a Lion. Go Rocky!!!

Martinez vs. Burgos will be the fight of the night. Salido and Mikey should be a good scrap too, but Martinez always comes to fight and if Burgos doesn't win I think his stock will drop alot so you know he's coming to fight.

Martinez and Burgos are good fighters. I am a fan of both. I think people are sleeping on this fight. This will be a great fight. Both dudes are warriors.

I agree, although any of these three fights could be foty material. I don't think Mikey will try to fight with Salido, if it becomes a brawl its because Salido forces him to fight.

But IMO Martinez Burgos will be a great fight, their styles will make for a action fight.

It's rare when I'm excited about all the match-ups on one card. 2013 is starting off with a bang!
