Kiko Martinez: \"Sergio (Martinez) believed in me\"
Few thought Kiko Martinez would beat Jhonatan Romero, but the rugged Spanish vet stopped the undefeated favorite to win the IBF 122-pound title. Kiko says middleweight champ Sergio Martinez, who provided his Oxnard gym for the fight, believed in him. \"Sergio was one of the only people to call me right after I lost to Carl Frampton. It was a low point in my life. Sergio told me it was going to get better. He\'s my idol, he\'s an inspiration to me.\"
