Antonio Martinez 1-0-1, says, “It’s going to be a war” when he faces Edgar Zubia 1-0-1 of Hobbs on December 2nd in a 4-round bout. He says of his opponent, “I know he’s an experienced and decorated amateur who comes to fight. It’s going to be an action packed fight; I’m training hard for this fight and I’m sure he is too. Come December 2nd, I’ll be ready to bring it!” This could shape up to be a classic matchup since Martinez and Zubia have a common opponent, John Herrera of Roswell, and both were very close fights.
Martinez who had a late start in his boxing career,
started boxing at the ripe age of 21. He started boxing
at a youth boxing program in Espanola, NM where he was
born and raised. Professional boxer and MMA fighter,
Monica Lovato, started the boxing program. Martinez said
that if it wasn’t for Monica he wouldn’t be fighting
right now and that she has helped him to become the
fighter he is today. Martinez also trains under the
watchful eye of Al Lovato of Santa Fe. Martinez says Mr.
Lovato is a disciplinarian, motivational and supportive.
Martinez gained his first win on his pro-debut on the
undercard of Holly Holm’s December 3, 2010 fight. |
