Kiko Martinez knocks out Kid Galahad to become a two-weight world champion

SHEFFIELD, ENGLAND — Kiko Martinez shocked Sheffield and the boxing world after knocking out Kid Galahad in the sixth round to win the IBF  featherweight title. 

However, Martinez struck in the closing seconds of the fifth round with a right hook which sent Galahad to the canvas. The hometown kid was able to rise and meet the referee's count as the closing bell rang. 

Then within the opening seconds of the sixth, Martinez threw another right hook, and this time it kept Galahad down, bringing the fight to an abrupt end.

Before the fight, Galahad vowed to 'do a job' on Martinez, and it looked like he was achieving that. Throughout the opening five rounds, Galahad was landing clean shots, lethal combinations, and powerful uppercuts, which seemed to be taking their toll on Martinez, who looked shaky at times.

Like Mauricio Lara's win against Josh Warrington last February, this win for Martinez came out of nowhere and shook British boxing.

But Martinez's win wasn't the only shock of the night as Alycia Baumgardner stopped Terri Harper in the fourth round to claim the WBC and IBO super featherweight titles.
