Rocky Martinez Eyes Ricky Burns Rematch in The Fall

By Rey Colon

The former 130-pound champion of the WBO, Roman "Rocky" Martinez, doesn't know his opponent for April 16 in Bayamon, but said that no one will prevent him from regaining the title that was snatched away by Ricky Burns last year.

"I do not know who my opponent is. After this I would go after Burns, if he continues to champion. It would be in August or September, here in Puerto Rico. This is like being reborn. I want to recover what was lost, "he argued.

Martínez has a record of 24-1-1 and 15 knocks, trains at Dorado under the supervision of Papo Torres.
