MANILA, Philippines - Raul Martinez and Ulises Solis, a pair of Mexican fighters who flew in from Los Angeles yesterday, vowed to put on a good show against their Pinoy opponents on Sunday at the Araneta Coliseum.

Martinez, nicknamed “La Cobrita” and undefeated in 24 bouts, will try to dethrone Nonito Donaire Jr. as the IBF flyweight champion in the main event of the card dubbed “The Flash and the Furious.”

Solis, whose younger brother, Jorge Solis, fought and lost to Manny Pacquiao in San Antonio, Texas, two years ago, will try to defend his IBF light-flyweight crown against Fil-Am Brian Viloria.

“It’s going to be a good fight. Win, lose or draw, Nonito will remember me after this fight,” Martinez told scribes who paid him a visit at the Manila Hotel, his home for the next few days.read more>>>
