Rocky Martinez returns with a KO after nearly three years out

Rocky Martínez KO8 William Gonzalez In Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico, former WBO 130-pound champion Román "Rocky" Martínez returned to the ring after almost three years. Coming off a 2016 loss to Vasyl Lomachenko, Martinez came back with a knockout victory over Nicaragua's William Gonzalez at the Rubén Zayas Montañez Coliseum. It was the fifth straight loss for Gonzalez (30-11). The fight report indicates the ex-world titlist may have suffered from ring rust. Martinez, age 36, had a rough seventh round in which he appeared to tire, but in the eighth, he found a second wind and hurt and floored Gonzalez, with a combonation that ended the fight. Afterwards, Martinez says he intends to campaign at lightweight. source: primera hora
