Summary
Lester Martinez kept his perfect record alive with a tenth-round stoppage of Luka Plantic, dominating the fight with precision and power to defend his WBC interim super middleweight title in Los Angeles — a city buzzing with Guatemalan pride. Though Plantic showed grit, Martinez’s knockout punch sealed the win, sparking debate over the referee’s call. Now 21-1 (17 KOs), Martinez is eyeing a showdown with the winner of Canelo Alvarez vs. Christian Mbilli on October 31 in Saudi Arabia. Earlier, Najee Lopez stunned Juan Carillo with a controversial KO that was initially ruled a low blow — but after review, it was confirmed as legal, handing Lopez the victory. With a top-four ranking from The Ring, Martinez is ready to prove he belongs at the pinnacle of the division. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
