MANCHESTER, England — Scott Quigg earned his best career victory last night in knocking out feared veteran Kiko Martinez in two rounds at the MEN Arena.
Martinez brought his trademark pressure and power-punching in a dominant first round that saw him land hard right hooks. Quigg bided his time until early in the second where he stunned Martinez with a right uppercut followed by a series of hook for the first knockdown.
Martinez rose on unsteady legs and was met with another flurry of hooks for a second knockdown. Martinez again beat the count but was too hurt to continue.
The win is Quigg’s fifth defense of the WBA World bantamweight title.
