Round-by-Round: Kid Galahad vs. Kiko Martinez - 13 November 2021

[qatarm]

Galahad is going to be so embarrassed with that result.

He’ll claim he was caught with a lucky shot and he’ll likely win the immediate rematch but he’ll never live the KO down.

Bellew blaming Galahad getting iced twice by monster right hands on struggles with the weight

Yeah - I thought he’d been good tonight too until that analysis.

[rhino222]

Eddie loses 2 world champs and serious wonga all on the same evening.

[gregregegg]

So happy for the little dude.

Eddie loses another two champions

Oh baby what a night!

Oh baby what a night!

Just love an upset , especially when kiko had must have been such a big underdog .

[maverick23]

So with it being a voluntary Eddie will almost certainly have a rematch clause.

Kid may well blame the weight and move up so who does Eddie match Kiko with?

[Dioufy]

It’s gonna be Leigh wood v Martinez now

Unifaction

It won’t. Wood’s got Conlan and until they sort out the Santa Cruz stuff the IBF won’t allow a unification of the standard belt.

Oh yeah, forgot. Thank fornicate.

It’s gonna be Leigh wood v Martinez now

Unifaction

And none of us gave him a prayer

I certainly did not.

[jameswilson]

Kiko !
What a finish.

Can anyone think of someone more in control and cruising to a dominant stylish win that got KTFO'd like that ?

It's up there with the biggest upsets.

wonder what the in fight odds were?

Martinez 14/1 to win by stoppage.

[Counter-puncher]

OH WTF? I fking missed this IM SUCH A TWAT OH FFS

[Twinkle Toes]

This was a fight for Galahad to shine, and put on a big homecoming performance. At least I expected that, as I think most did.

Galahad was gone after that first shot, he had a full minute to recover in the corner but was out of it. He couldn't open his mouth to let his gumshield out. Martinez came straight out and landed a beautiful punch, and that was that.

Not necessarily if there is a rematch clause

[jameswilson]

Guys I think Povetkin and Martinez has proved to us not to sleep on huge punchers.

Martinez should have won against Zelfa Barrett ffs he hasn't been getting his head kicked in every fight for the last few years has he?

[KiwiRider]

So happy for the little dude.

Eddie loses another two champions

Oh baby what a night!

Just love an upset , especially when kiko had must have been such a big underdog .

I switched off after R2 because I like Kiko and was struggling to watch a much bigger guy batter an older fella. Lucky I switched back in time to see the replay. Wow. Top 5 upset of the year.

Either that or he promotes Martinez's first defence in Spain.

[coneye]

Said it on here many times if its a mismatch DON,T dwatch it , so this one no wzy was i paying for it , too be honest could,nt evsn be bothered streaming it .

But boy do i love it when the poor sod who,s being brought in to take a hiding does,nt read the script , Usyk to wallop Aj again ,, Fury to wallop Whyte , and Frank will think xmas has come early next year LOL

He's talking about it now - seems reasonable.
Kid always had a great chin, never seen him floored, "you don't get a bad chin overnight".
It's not like he's deluded.

That punch was a finisher, but maybe Kid avoids it, or recovers quicker or something..?

[Dioufy]

If being weight drained affects your chin in the 6th after dominating the fight then I received ANON anal tonight.
Bellew. Man who wanks Hearn off after bad days.

Thats the logical thing , hope he makes some decent coin out of it , been a brilliant servant to the game .

It was yet another bad night for Eddie's stable. It just shows that even with DAZN type money, it ain't all black and white. Two world champs gone in one night, and pretty good proof his Euro cruiser champ ain't going further

[Boxing Prospect]

Two fantastic world title fights, thanks Eddie!

[skanksta]

I only just remembered Quigg annihilating Kiko in 2 - Kiko was totally shot then remember ?

That was 6 and half years ago !
