Martinez has now scored knockouts in seven consecutive fights, including a third-round stoppage of John Vicente Moralde in his ShoBox debut in April.
“I wanted to steal the show,” said Martinez. "[Rolando Romero] did his thing and I knew I had to capitalize on that. I did it in half the time (45 سیکنڈ). Everyone did great tonight. Hitchins and Kevin [نیومین] both did their thing and I had to follow.
“I’m going to get back in the gym and continue grinding. I want to be the best. I have the best team in boxing right now. As long as they keep lining them up, I’m going to keep knocking them down.”
22-year-old Brooklyn, N.Y.. native and 2016 Olympian Richardson Hitchins (10-0, 5 کوس) made his television and ShoBox debut in the co-featured bout, winning a unanimous decision over Kevin Johnson (7-2, 4 کوس). ججوں مککیبازی رنز بنائے 96-94 اور 97-93 دو بار.
Hitchins, who represented his parents’ home country of Haiti in the 2016 Rio Games, used his skill, speed and defense to edge the 27-year-old Johnson. Hitchins was marginally better in every category round after round, allowing him to build small but decisive leads en route to the unanimous decision. Johnson was slightly more active (52.6 کرنے کے لئے 49.8 راؤنڈ فی punches کے) but Hitchins was more accurate and the more robust body puncher. Hitchins landed on 30 اس کی طاقت punches کے فیصد, while Johnson landed just 19 فیصد ان, and Hitchins connected on 46 body shots compared to 30 for Johnson.
“Johnson was a solid fighter,” said Hitchins. “I haven’t been in the ring since April, but I think I did great. It was the fight that I needed. I wanted the win and I got the unanimous decision. I don’t like to rate my performance without going back and re-watching the fight. I could have closed the gaps a little better. I should have capitalized on certain moments a little better.
“I’m going to run the tape back and work with my coach so we can tighten up and come out the best I can possibly be. I’m excited to see what’s next and what my team has planned for me. They’ve guided me in a great direction and I just got to do what I got to do and that’s getting these guys out one at a time until I get that title shot.”
جانسن, who performed admirably, was gracious in defeat despite disagreeing with the judges’ scorecards.
“He had a good jab,” Johnson said. “It was easy to download him. I put the pressure on him and kept listening to my corner, and moved to the right and kept landing. He’s a tough fighter. میں نے اسے دے دیں گے کہ, he definitely came to fight. We both had moments throughout the fight. He did a good job of holding as the ref called, he knew how to hold when he was getting hurt. I think I was the better fighter. اس نے مجھے چوٹ نہیں. I give him props as a fighter.
“I really want the rematch, but I doubt that will happen. I know I won. I was the better fighter at the end of the day.”
In a much-anticipated rematch between two fighters with history and bad blood, Kevin Newman II (11-1-1, 6 کوس) avenged the only loss of his career, dominating Marcos Hernandez (14-3-1, 3 کوس) with a near shutout unanimous decision. ججوں جنگ رنز بنائے 80-72 اور 79-73 دو بار.

Newman also led 152-97 مجموعی طور پر punches کے میں اترا اور 114-57 in power shots, while nearly matching Hernandez in punches thrown (399 کرنے کے لئے 435).
“The revenge felt so great,” said Las Vegas’ Newman, who dropped a unanimous decision to Hernandez on the undercard of Mayweather vs. McGregor in August 2017. “Overall, I dominated. I went to the body every chance I saw an opportunity. A lot of people have never seen me box like that so it’s great to show that side of me. I was a lot more offensive and I kept the attacks to the body.
“I’d rate my performance a B-, I think I could have been busier. I’m going to continue to developing and staying busy in the ring. I don’t think he expected me to come in like I did. We gave the fans a great performance that was TV worthy and I look forward to doing it again.”
In the telecast opener, undefeated knockout artist Rolando Romero (10-0, 9 کوس) extended his KO streak to five in a row and improved his knockout rate to 90 percent by dismantling previously once-beaten challenger Juan Carlos Cordones (14-2, 9 کوس) with a first-round knockout.

The 24-year-old Las Vegan floored Dominican Republic’s Cordones with a combination and finished the job shortly after with a flush right to the jaw. Cordones was unable to get up off the mat, and the fight was stopped just 2:14 after it started. Looking for the knockout from the opening bell, the aggressive Romero threw twice as many punches (35-17), led nine to three in overall punches landed and connected on eight of his 18 اقتدار کے punches.
“There’s not much to say. I promised a knockout and I saw the opportunity so I went for it,” said the exuberant Romero, who has previously stated he is the hardest puncher in the world under 147 پاؤنڈ. “I made him pay for coming in overweight yesterday. آگے دیکھ, I just plan on dominating whoever they put in front of me.
“I’m growing as a fighter and all I want to do is continue to put on a great performance for my fans and get to that next step in my career. I want anyone whoever wants next!"
