Coming off of six consecutive knockout victories, rising prospect Xavier Martinez will make his second appearance on the prospect developmental series this Friday. The Sacramento-bred fighter was steered into the sport of boxing at the age of 6 and guided by respected trainer Ray Woods, the step-father of deceased former three-division world champion Diego Corrales. The 22-year-old boasts an undefeated record and will look to close out 2019 with his third knockout of the year.<\/p>\n
Here is what Martinez had to say ahead of his matchup this Friday with Rosales:<\/p>\n
What do you know about your opponent and his fight style?<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s experienced and a decent fighter, but I feel that he hasn\u2019t been in the ring with anyone like me. I feel that my style, speed, and power will be a surprise for him. He\u2019s said that he\u2019s fought fighters better than me, but he\u2019s never got in the ring with me, so I don\u2019t understand how he thinks that. He\u2019ll learn his lesson on November 1.\u201d<\/p>\n
Game plan going into this fight:<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to go in there and be Xavier Martinez and fight how I know how to fight and do my job to get the win. I have the support of my trainer, who\u2019s like a father to me. Ray Woods has been guiding me and preparing me to be ready for whatever comes my way. I\u2019ve been fortunate enough to have him in my corner; he taught me since day one not to be a one trick pony. I have been tightening up my skill set and I\u2019m even more explosive from my last fight. My game plan is to keep control and that\u2019s what I\u2019ve proven I do best.\u201d<\/p>\n
What the fans can expect to see on November 1:<\/p>\n
\u201cThey will see another great performance. This fight I plan to make an even bigger statement than my last fight. I want to show everybody who I am. My last fight on ShoBox was a great opportunity for me to be on television, so this fight is going to be even more exciting. I don\u2019t want to give too much away but I plan to gain more fans and of course I\u2019ll aim for my sixth knockout.<\/p>\n
First time as the main event on ShoBox, what does this opportunity mean to you?<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a huge opportunity for me. It puts me right in the spotlight and gives me a lot of drive to show everyone why I\u2019m the main attraction. From here on out I think there will be more opportunities on big platforms for me to showcase my talent. I\u2019m thankful to my team Mayweather Promotions for putting me in position to showcase my skill and I thank SHOWTIME for believing in me enough to give me this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
On training camp:<\/p>\n
\u201cTraining camp has been going great. This camp I added a nutritionist to help me get through camp without being tired from dieting. I also have a strength and conditioning coach who has been helping me with taking care of my body and pushing myself to the limits. It\u2019s all mental at the end of the day which will show in the ring. I have always kept my body in shape, but now I\u2019m able to elevate and put everything together to be the complete fighter which everyone will see on Friday, November 1st.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
