    Always came prepared to fight and was a good ambassador for the sport. Enjoy retirement.

    Kiko is godly. The King of the Leprechauns and an utterly fearless must watch TV warrior and have gloves will travel road warrior. Peace be upon him.

    Enjoy retirement champ. Always gave it his all and absolutely fearless. Win or lose the man has fought everyone and made some surprising upsets. The list of names that he's fought is astonishing.

    Bernard Dunne
    Rendal Munroe x2
    Carl Frampton x2
    Hozumi Hasegawa
    Scott Quigg
    Leo Santa Cruz
    Josh Warrington x2
    Gary Russell Jr
    Kid Galahad

    He's had a good career overall. Hope he's been paid well enough for him to retire comfortably.

    Great fighter and character.

    He gave me one of my happiest moments in boxing when he ktfo'd Barry Galahad. Tears of joy were flowing.

    I swear I thought he was already retired but then went to boxrec and he's been quite active.

    He's earned his retirement

    For me, the greatness of the sport is built off of the backs of guys like Kiko, win or lose he always showed up to fight and proved countless times he's got balls like the moons of freaking Mars
