    I think the Contender Series/Prizemoney has given him a false impression of his own importance.

    Martinez woulda beaten him anyway imo.

    I suspect he knows that Sergio would take him to school, and doesn't want to look bad 2 fights in a row. Maybe the winner of Duddy/Hearns?

    Martinez is an unknown fighter.
    Not many people care about him,
    besides a few people on this message board.

    hard to believe a fight with Martinez would worth that money to any network.
    People would watch Mora to fight,
    but not many would tune in to watch Martinez

    I guess Mora want to fight someone more famous

    Actually he is the interim champion but it would have been a stay busy fight probably

    He was schooled bad by Vernon Forrest.He should have taken this fight....it was a shot at Forrest again by becoming interim champ.
