LIVE: McKinson v Martin

Ref having a word with the pair for various violations

Can’t see a stoppage in this as we end the ninth. Got Mikey well on top though 7-2 up.

Final three minutes!

The pair touch gloves at the start of the final round.

Mikey the aggressor and landing with two shots at the start of the round.

The right jab pops back Martin’s head with Mikey still on the front foot.

He said: I could have gone home earlier this week.

‘Ortiz pulled out then they said Salgado them 6ft 4in Ivan Kanzic then it was Rocha then it was Perez then it was Rincon - I said yes to all of them.

‘In the end it was Martin or go home.

‘Good fighters don’t moan - they get it down.

‘I’d fight anyone, I’m a real man.

The judges have it unanimously for Mikey who wins on his Stateside bow!

Just nipping to the dressing for reaction - will update on my return

Some rather officious press bod stopping us from getting into the dressing room, like we have for every other fight in Mikey’s career. So a wait to the press conference for quotes.
