Main Storylines
Compared to the heated build up to the past bout, we have seen a different side to both Carl Frampton and Kiko Martinez who have acknowledged each others strengths, on the other hand still asserting their confidence about how they believe fight night will pan out. Martinez seems to be a man searching for redemption as he faces his conqueror for the first time since his heart was broken in the ring.
To write Martinez off though would a big mistake. A lot has been made about Frampton’s previous victory against the current IBF champ, with team Frampton believing they have the formula to demolish Martinez for the second time.
Be that as it may, the 29-year-old Spaniard believes he has learned from his first knockout loss and will not be leaving Belfast without his title.
Could it be a mistake for Frampton to think he has already beaten Martinez as the champion seems to have gone from strength to strength since the knockout loss?
