I think a defence against an English fighte would sell more tickets than against the likes of Layera!

Was it Gonzalo Munguia? No? What about Feider Viloria?

& again, I'm not disputing that it was a good win, nor that it wasn't an impressive performance. But fvck me you'd think Burns beat Juan Manuel Marquez the way some of you go on about Martinez.

It is a very weak division.

Does Martinez have a win better than his victory against Cook on his record?

racist i cant see it mate

we only have 4 world champions and they deserve exposure on the show , damn they even spent more time showing the highlighst of the martinez fight...which is a good idea aslong as you do it with our fighters and have a bit of a discussion about it

I could see the point of the argument if it was a proper match up but it wasnt it was a stay warm fight. It didnt have any historical significance. Did it really deserve anything more than a passing mention? They did a decent section on burns and the gym last week.

I've just re-read this and realised what you're implying.

The question needs to be asked - do you have a chip on your shoulder?

You're starting to sound like Kanye West.

He was #2.

I have to agree with Datsue. Good win, but Martinez has been made into a far more formidable fighter than he really is.

Who has Fana beaten that is so much more impressive? Klassen and Baloyi are his biggest names and neither are anything special. Not much between the records of Martinez and Fana as I see it.
