Talks of a January 28th showdown between WBA lightweight champion Brandon Rios and former featherweight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa have recently surfaced on various media outlets.

Last Saturday night in Puerto Rico, Roman "Rocky" Martinez (25-1-1, 15 KOs) returned to his triumphant ways after a year of being idle. He knocked out Daniel Attah of Nigeria, and now wants to recover the WBO junior lightweight title which he lost in his only defeat, against Ricky Burns, who recently vacated the crown to move up in weight. Martinez is hoping WBO President Francisco Valcarcel orders a fight for the vacant crown between himself and the number one contender, Adrien Broner.

Coliseo Ruben Rodriguez, Bayamon, Puerto Rico - Former two division champion Juan Manuel Lopez (31-1, 28 KOs) stopped Mike Oliver (25-3, 8 KOs) in two rounds. Oliver went down twice in the first and once in the second before it was stopped.

By Jake Donovan - Former two-division titlist Juan Manuel Lopez returned to the ring tonight for the first time since his shocking knockout loss to Orlando Salido earlier this year. The Puerto Rican southpaw took out his frustrations on Mike Oliver, scoring three knockdowns en route to a second round stoppage Saturday evening in Bayamon, Puerto Rico.

The former super featherweight champion of the WBO, Roman "Rocky" Martinez (28-0-1, 21KOs), who returns after a year-long layoff on Saturday night in Puerto Rico, doesn't expect to face WBA lightweight champion Brandon Rios on December 3rd, as part of the Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito undercard. Martinez has no problem making 130-pounds. He would require a few fights at 135 to get adjusted to the weight, then take a fight with Rios.

BAYAMÓN, PUERTO RICO - The weights are in for Saturday's big fight. Former double world champion Juan Manuel “Juanma” López and Mike Oliver made weight for their showdown, which headlines Triple Crown III at the coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon, in a PR Best Boxing Promotions (PRBBP) and Top Rank, to be televised on “Pay Per View”.

BoxingScene.com recently reported that former super featherweight champion Rocky Martinez was the frontrunner to face WBA lightweight champion Brandon Rios on the televised undercard of the Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito rematch that takes place at Madison Square Garden in New York on December 3rd.

It’s been over a year since Roman “Rocky” Martinez last fought. And his last time in the ring was not that fun, as he lost his world championship to Ricky Burns in Scotland in a very close and competitive bout.

CAROLINA, PUERTO RICO- Former world champions Juan Manuel “Juanma” López and Román “Rocky” Martínez, and super bantamweight contender Jonathan “Polvo” Oquendo will face tough foes this Saturday, October 1 in the card Triple Crown III, to be held at the coliseo Rubén Rodríguez in Bayamón, in a PR Best Boxing Promotions (PRBBP) and Top Rank presentation, to be shown on Pay Per View.

Ten fights will complete the card "Triple Crown III," where former two division world champion Juan Manuel “Juanma” López headlines in the main event against Mike Oliver on October 1st at the coliseo Ruben Rodriguez in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. PR Best Boxing Promotions (PRBBP) and Top Rank are co-promoting the event, which is going to be televised on pay-per-view.
