With each man having a very high knockout percentage throughout their careers, there is no question that both Carl Frampton and Kiko Martinez have heavy hands indeed. With a impressive 65 percent knockout ratio, Martinez has proven that his come-forward pressure style is very effective.
Also, Frampton’s one-punch power, which has saw him knock out the likes of Martinez and Hugo Cazares, has proven that with a 72 percent KO ratio the Jackal is dangerous with both hands at any time.
However, Martinez has the significant edge in experience, as he has been around for a decade and is extremely long in the tooth compared to the up-and-coming Frampton.
Still, with Frampton already holding a victory over “La Sensación,” how will the Spaniard react against the man that has handed him his solitary knockout defeat?
