    This is supposidley what he's saying

    He is on his way out from Puerto Rico and the interview begins with a question about his opinion on Ivan Calderon's last fight whom suffered his first defeat in his own town. R. Martinez says Ivan looked slow footed and not his usual self but Rocky's fight will be different, he likes to brawl and will bring the belt back to Puerto Rico.
    -Ricky Burns confidence is growing he is saying he will beat you every round. What do you have to say about that?
    -That's his opinion, up in the ring it will be just us two. We'll see who's gonna win unanimously.
    -You're off to Scottish territory, it is said that men wear skirts there. Will you be wearing a skirt at the weigh-in?
    -No. My work team is taking skirts but I'll be in my jeans and prepared to make weight and do my fight.
    -Which is your final statement, we're here at the airport in Puerto Rico, to your fans in Puerto Rico.
    -To be calm and confident. As I've always said, a warrior travels to any part of the world to fight and I'm going with a single objective which is to knock Ricky Burns out.

    Martinez sounds confident man as well .Here's the latest from the record .
    COCKY Roman "Rocky" Martinez has warned Scots world title hopeful Ricky Burns to prepare for an early night at the Kelvin Hall on Saturday.
    The WBO super-featherweight champion, who already has 15 knockouts on his record, plans to make his third defence a brief encounter.
    Martinez geared up with an impressive workout at promoter Alex Morrison's Glasgow gym yesterday then vowed he won't be hanging around long against the Coatbridge challenger. Martinez said: "I plan to stop Burns in the middle rounds.
    "I will be too powerful and too quick for him. No doubt Burns will move quickly at the beginning but I am not worried by what he has to offer.
    "I have a plan and I won't have a problem finishing the job.
    "I have studied videos of Burns and drawn up my plans accordingly. I don't want to talk about his weaknesses in case it helps him but I am prepared for anything he has to offer.
    "Burns should know I have never been put down, not even in my amateur career, and he won't become the first to achieve the feat.
    "Burns has a superior reach but I have been sparring with guys with a longer reach than me to prepare fully.
    "I have also been told the Scottish fans are very passionate but that's not a concern because there will be only him and me in the ring, not the crowd. I would have preferred to have defended my title in Puerto Rico but I'm not angry about having to come to Scotland.
    "I will fight anyone, anywhere, because that is what real warriors do."
    Martinez, who has an impressive record of 24 wins and one draw, took the title from Manchester's Nicky Cook 18 months ago.
    Cook had out-pointed Edinburgh's Alex Arthur to become champion in September 2008 but lasted just four rounds against the Puerto Rican before being counted out. Feider Viloria met a similar fate in Martinez's first defence last September prior to Nicaraguan Gonzalo Munguia becoming the 27-year-old champion's latest victim in May.
    But Burns, also 27, is adamant he can upset the odds.
    He said: "If I stick to the gameplan and stay focused for the whole fight, I will leave the ring a world champion.
    "We all know Martinez is a big puncher but I have a few tricks up my sleeve. I also have nine years' experience to call on."

    You also have to remember that Martinez is totally dead at the weight and has been for his last few fights, he struggles dreadfully and he won't be finding it easy to shift now over in Glasgow, he will make the weight no worries the man is a consumate professional.

    One time will be the final time though and he will be moving upto Lightweight, lets hope for Ricky's sake it's this time.

    If Billy can get him believing in himself here he could pull off the surprise, Martinez can walk onto plenty of shots its just a case if Burns can get enough into them to keep him at bay.

    Good luck Ricky

    I'm not on here to knock Burns or any Boxer, never have. But for the trainer of Ricky Burns to talk of opponents being HAND PICKED well quite frankly the mind boggles. I just hope he's tighted up that great defence since Johannson and Arthur. Also dont let him get turned on the ropes a la Gomez in the 4th
