Comments Thread For: Rocky Martinez Eyes Move To Lightweight Division

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Former two-time super featherweight champion Roman "Rocky" Martinez (27-2-2, 16KOs) is looking to move up to the lightweight division, after suffering an eight round knockout loss to Mikey Garcia on Saturday night in Corpus Christi, Texas. Martinez has been at 130-pounds for most of his career. He would like to fight for another title as soon as possible and wants to return in the early part of 2014.

Rocky is not a very good fighter but he has an awkward style/stance which takes a while to figure out. His awkward style can surprise you with punches you can't see but aside from that I am surprised he has gotten as far as he has. The guy has guts and heart though, can't take that away from him. Loved the way he took the punches like warrior and dared Mikey to fight instead of retreating.

Rocky is weak

Rocky is awkward, doesn't have power, and is easy to hit, don't stand a chance at 135 pounds.

I've just seen, on another website, that Mikey wants Gamboa next!...

[nycsmooth]

can't c him a factor @ LW, & Figueroa is WBC...most guys in PR go WBO, still he won't have enuf vs any champ there...

Rocky will be champ again no doubt about it he has a chin length and height he throws a lot of punches and I could see him beating some of the champs at 135 this guy has too much heart and wont quit till you finish him and only 1 person has done that and it was a body a perfect body shot
