Rocky deserves it. He is very humble, and he is a hard worker, he is really loved here, because of his humbleness and care for the fans. People here really like him.

Im glad he got the welcome he deserved.

just like i thought it would happen. he would get rocked and then KTFO that dude.

he always get better if you hit him hard.

Martinez did well. Cook is a good fighter and started well, but Martinez started to shine when he was warmed up. Great KO too.

He has lot of work to do, but I think with some graft, Martinez will be a top guy in the division for years to come.

One of you guys, I forget who, started a thread and predicted Rocky would win and PR would have another world champ. I want to see this Rocky dude fight again. It was a night of KO's and his was damn good. The undercard wasn't bad at all and I don't regret paying the $25 bones (although I wish MAB didn't get cut!).
