Comments Thread For: Jhonatan Romero-Kiko Martinez Set For HBO Triple, 8/17

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Jhonatan Romero was hoping for a notable name in the opposite corner for his first defense of the 122 lb. title. The unbeaten champ gets his wish, as he will face Spain's Kiko Martinez on August 17 in Atlantic City.

The bout will serve as part of a televised tripleheader on HBO, with middleweight titlist Daniel Geale defending against British contender Darren Barker in the evening's main event.

Romero makes his first ring appearance since winning the vacant belt earlier this year in a well deserved split decision over Alejandro Lopez. [Click Here To Read More]

No hating on the up and comers or Europe fighters but HBO is lacking alot of star power with these cards. A year ago a lot of these guys fighting on HBO would have not been on the network.

Why is a card being headlined by a British boxer who has only fought once in America and an Australian making his US debut being held in Atlantic City?

He has the power to stop Romero, but I´m afraid colombian is too slick.

He's good but he's not special. Top PFP I doubt very seriously.
