Martinez Has Some Bad Intentions in Store For Cook
By Mark Vester
Undefeated Roman Martinez (21-0, 12KOs) has a knockout on his mind. He doesn't want his upcoming fight with WBO super featherweight champion Nicky Cook (29-1, 16KOs) to go to the judges. He wants to leaving a lasting impression by stopping Cook in front of his countrymen. The fight takes place on the Barrera-Khan undercard on March 14 at the MEN Arena in Manchester.
Martinez has never face a fighter on the level of Cook but that hasn't made his confidence level drop.
"I have always been well prepared for my fights but never like the way I've prepared for this fight. I have no doubt that I'm going to return to Puerto Rico with the title in my hands," Martinez told Primera Hora.
Martinez has received plenty of friendly concern from fans and media members alike, telling him to watch out for a possible robbery on foreign soil. Promoter Peter Rivera of Puerto Rico Best Boxing is not concerned with the referee, the judges or any funny business going on at the weigh-in.
"We are confident that everything will be fine. We know the judges and they have a good reputation. The [weigh-in] scale is going to be digital, so there can't be any tricks," Rivera said.
