Martin stops Araiza in eight!!!

Fresh off his minor upset win over Chris Avalos, Christopher Martin was workmanlike before stopping Jose Luis Araiza in the eighth and final scheduled round of their Featherweight bout at the Four Points Hilton in San Diego, California.

Martin enjoyed a size advantage and that allowed him to do what he needed to do but Araiza was tough as he tried to press the action and wasn’t afraid to stand toe to toe on occasion.

Midway through round seven, Martin scored a knockdown with a hard right hand. Martin ended things with a left at 2:03 of the final round.

Martin, 123 lbs of San Diego is now 20-0-2 with six knockouts. Araiza, 124 lbs of Mexico is now 32-3.
