Him becoming world champ

A little bio


What I want to know is how good is Rodolfo Martinez if any of you know him

Heard this a while back, and as a Slovene-American I am very very proud. I'll be rooting for 'em!

BTW check out Martinez on boxingrec, he has a severly padded record and has yet to face anything other than entry-level competition. He lost to a guy who's 9-6-1 recently. Should be an easy defence to build up Jans record.

I hope it's an easy fight, he should stay on top for as long as possible to shine some light on boxing in Slovenia.

He just made his first title defence with a 12th round TKO. He was dominating the fight all 12 rounds.
