There is a case to be made that Martinez, 19-0-1 (16 KOs) deserved the nod over Mbilli, 29-0-1 (24 KOs) in their first – and, so far, only – meeting. Their terrific 10-round slugfest ended in a draw, on the main undercard of Crawford’s historic unanimous decision win over Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, 63-3-2 (39 KOs) last September 13 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
