Comments Thread For: Kiko Martinez Knocks Kid Galahad Out Cold in Sixth, Captures IBF Title

Galahad looks absolutely dead at the weight. Take nothing away from Kiko though, a real Cinderella man story.

Did he Galahad gas or did he just get caught? I didn’t watch it, only seen the KO on Twitter.

He was a little tired but mostly he was lulled into a false sense of security. He rocked Kiko a few times in the first three rounds.

Kiko was landing big shot in the exchanges, and he landed a massive one at the end of the fifth and then a bigger one at the start of the sixth.

Damn. Well done Kiko.

I’m pretty shocked…

Kiko made a conscious effort to box early and swarm later in both this fight and the previous fight. The kid got comfortable in there without seeing the swarming version quite yet and he paid for it.

Kiko is always a game dog ...............

[James Hunt]

Maybe Kid also overtrained..?

[STREET CLEANER]

Kiko has been cycle so much in England and loss that they probably thought he was going to beat him with no issues. Boxing is the theater of the unknown and experienced boxers have to be respected.

He got complacent/overconfident and got caught. Didn't look gassed at all to me.

Missing weight makes me think he may have taken Martinez lightly. Martinez's style always makes him a live underdog. Probably the only fight I didn't make him a live underdog in was the Gary Russell Jr fight.
