Your fight-size boxing update:
– Shortly after getting knocked out by Aston Palicte in a WBO super flyweight title eliminator on January 31, Jose Martinez wrote a statement on Facebook in Spanish. Below is the statement, translated to English, thanking those who have supported him throughout the build up to the fight.
Before anything else, I want to thank God for allowing me to be okay. We definitely worked hard but this was not my night. I want to thank everybody for their immense support. I love you all and to those that want to criticize me, you’re more than within your right to do so, but for me, the most important thing is my family.
