Martinez: I Should Be Favored To Beat Mikey Garcia!

•Nov 7, 2013

Rocky Martinez is the defending world champion and has boxed between junior lightweight and lightweight throughout his 12-year pro career. Much to Martinez’s disbelief, Mikey Garcia is still a heavy favorite to defeat him as they approach their HBO “World Championship Boxing” main event Saturday night in Corpus Christi, Texas. “I feel that I should be the favorite,” Martinez, 30, said on a conference call Wednesday. “I am the champion. I’m the naturally bigger guy. I’m strong. I’ve prepared myself well and I feel I’m going to win this fight because of that.”

Mikey Garcia (32-0, 27KOs) is hoping to secure his second world title in a second weight class when he faces WBO Super Featherweight champion Roman “Rocky” Martinez (27-1-2, 16KOs) this Saturday night at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, TX. Garcia has looked dominant throughout his career and the hard hitting 25 year old has stopped 9 of his last 10 recent opponents. Even a fighter like Orlando Salido who was supposed to be a tough test for Garcia tasted the canvas repeatedly and was non competitive in their bout.

Freddie Roach had one crack at unseating middleweight champion Sergio Martinez a year ago, when he cornered Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. In that fight, Martinez out-boxed Chavez for 11 rounds and then got dropped hard in the final round. Martinez rose, stood toe-to-toe for the remainder of the bout and took the decision victory. Now Roach has another fighter who could go on to face Martinez, and the Hall of Fame trainer believes Miguel Cotto could be the one to beat him.
