Super-flyweight contender Raul "The Cobra" Martinez of San Antonio, TX, is thinking smaller as opposed to bigger for his next fight. Although a top-rated fighter at 115 pounds, his next fight - his first title opportunity - will be at 112 pounds against IBF claimant Nonito Donaire on March 22 at Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City, Philippines. It will be his first appearance since blowing away Victor Proa in one round in November. [details]

Just like the next big thing in mexico the BUM and hype Job Mijares and the Popular Bum Arce. Just like a 50 year old De La Hoya knocking out Manny's head and Margarito got destroyed by a 37 year old man who struggled against Mayorga.Comment

Mexico is starting to fall of. They had a great impact on the sport but it's time to say goodbye to the mexican Fighters. All of them are getting exposed every month.
Too bad can nuthugger already left this forum. There's still one troll who embarass himself everyday.Comment

Good Fight
Wow, sounds like a good fight. I saw Martinez easily wipe out the previously undefeated Victor Proa, in like 40 seconds. I know that Martinez has been really hungry for a title and I'm surprised that he's already getting his shot.
Although Martinez is undefeated, I think Donaire's probably going to take it... If for no other reason than having Darchinyan's name under his belt - and by impressive fashion. Donaire didn't only KO Darch, he spanked him in every round on the way. Donaire's also going to be in his own turf. Hopefully that won't matter but you never know. Donaire by UD.Comment
