RECAP as Portsmouth favourite Michael McKinson cruises to unanimous win on US bow

The judges had it 99-91, 98-92, 97-93 all for McKinson

Just had a brief chat with McKinson who was pretty content all things considered. Knew Martin’s style didn’t make for a crowdpleasing contest but got the W which he was satisfied with.

I’d love to come back, I’d love to fight in Vegas - that’s on my bucket list.

People were saying who’s this McKinson with two knockouts? Ortiz Jr will walk through him in a few rounds.

But I think this week I won people over, maybe not with the performance but the way I conducted myself

‘I’ve been dieting since November - now I want some cheap, dirty food! I want some bread - give me some bread!’

I could have gone home

Ortiz pulled out then they said Salgado them 6ft 4in Ivan Pandzic 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.

Mikey’s back at the Grand Sheraton hotel in LA having a beer and pizza, so we’ll wrap up the blog and call it a night. See you next time!
