Looks like Román "Rocky" Martínez (26-1-2, 16KO's) will be defending his belt April 6 @ Macao, China, against Diego Magdaleno (23-0, 9KO's).
What you guys think??

On a side note.....Rocky's fight are always exciting, the man does not know how to back up and moves forward even after being crushed with body shots like the ones Burgos was hitting him with. Cant take his heart away.
Cant wait to see him fight Magdaleno.
Haha indeed. He's relentless and I thought that would win him the fight but Burgos showed more experience than I expected. He's outing vs Cristobal Cruz wasn't too impressive so I figured Rocky could do some damage. Burgos did very well. Not sure how Burgos would do vs Salgado or Gamboa or Magdaleno (if he beats Rocky) tho. Man 130 could be a very good division. Too bad Fortuna has a belt at 126 now too. Russell Jr (when he moves up), Fortuna, Gamboa, Salgado, Burgos, Rocky, Uchiyama. And Salido possibly moving up too.

I'm not saying Rocky won but as I watched this fight and read everybody had it a shut out I told them I wouldn't be surprised if the judges had it closer than most people thought/had it. Do I think Burgos was robbed? Yea but I can also see where the judges were coming from.
As far as the rematch goes, unless Burgos had a clause then Rocky is just gonna fight whoever they put in front of him.

I agree. The fairest possible score for this fight would be 116-112. Rocky was preassuring the whole fight, which could change perspective. Burgos focus was body work, and basically no head work. Maybe that also influenced the judges the other way.

On the outcome that Burgos won easily or that he was robbed? lol
That was a whooping like Trout on Cotto and Trout got the UD comfortably, so it wasn't cuz it was NY, it was cuz of imcompetent judges.

I have to agree with your statement. Trout beat Cotto in NY and he was given the decision so clearly not a NY thing. Blame the judges, not NY and never Rocky.

For some reason i have a feeling that Magdaleno is gonna get Laid out. Just have that feeling.
If a rematch with burgos happens, burgos will win.
If a rematch with beltran happens, Rocky wins again. That fight was for a vacant title, Beltran felt like getting on the bicycle and not wanting to do enough to win the fight. Sorry no rematch. If he would've really came to fight like Rocky did, he could've easily won that fight a la Burgos.

I think Rocky will take this one, he has stayed busy which is what he really needed due to his layoff. If he survived the harder hitters then Magdaleno should be a lesser threat = win!
War Rocky!
Like I said, don't let Magdaleno's KO ratio fool you and its only a matter of time before all those beatings Rocky took catch up to him. Even if he doesnt stop Martinez he's a much better boxer than Burgos.

True...
This is some bullsht. Boxing politics fck arum hope he dies soon real talk:chomp: nd martinez get his ass whooped again. Martinez owes beltran and burgos rematches more so burgos.
I agree with you but he fights whoever they (his promotors) put in front of him. This is no walk in the park for him again.

Magdaleno beats Martinez easier than Burgos did. Actually, Magdaleno beats both. Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android
Oh boy......this is gonna be good if Rocky beats Magdaleno!
War Rocky!
Diego's first major step-up, can't wait!
On Boxrec, it says that Martinez has a April 13th date in NY on hold. Why the hell would he be fighting in China?
The original date was the 13th but was switched to the 6th I believe. That's where Top Rank is doing their event with Viloria and them.
