Atlantic City, New Jersey - Kiko Martinez put pressure on Jhonatan Romero from the opening seconds of the opening round and never turned it off. Romero tried in vain to keep Martinez away but ultimately failed, losing his junior featherweight title by a sixth-round technical knockout. Referee David Fields halted the onslaught 2 minute sand 40 seconds into the round. His mercy was necessary. Martinez, a fighter with four losses on his record who had never before fought for a world title, attacked Romero’s body relentlessly and sent hard haymakers upstairs. A wild right hand and a left hook hurt Romero early in the first round, with plenty of that stanza remaining. CompuBox credited Martinez with landing 40 of 88 power punches in the first three minutes of the fight, while Romero was just 8 of 34. Romero had to adjust, and so he did in the second round, frequently changing directions, popping a jab and moving, sending out combinations and moving, just moving and moving and movin
