In the PBC on NBC main event, Guerrero and Martinez let their fists fly from the opening bell to the closing bell in a showdown that saw over 1,000 punches thrown between the two welterweights over 10 rounds. It was clear from the beginning of the fight that Martinez was not intimidated by Guerrero's skills or resume as he dominated the first several rounds, even dropping Guerrero in the fourth.
But Guerrero was able to turn the table in his favor as the fight progressed and dominate the second half of the 10 round brawl. The judges scored the bout 97-95 and 95-94 for Guerrero and 95-94 for Martinez in a split decision victory.
"I'm very happy with my performance. I thought I won the fight. I thought the third scorecard was way out of line. It was a great experience fighting on NBC. I wanted to put on a great fight for the fans and me and Robert did that. I look forward to being more active and fighting again as soon as possible," Martinez said.
