The 24-year-old Martin scored a lopsided 10-round decision win over Oscar Duge of Tanzania on Saturday, Aug. 19, in Sucat, Paranaque.
Unbeaten super bantamweight prospect Carl Jammes Martin can now look forward to more meaningful fights. Martin toyed with his sturdy but outclassed foe to end an eight-month hiatus after suffering a rib injury early this year."I really tried to go for a knockout but he was quite good with his counter shots so I had to be wary about it and be defensive from time to time," said Martin who now has a 22-0 record, 17 via knockout.
The 26-year-old Duge, who never suffered a knockout defeat in his seven-year career, fell to 11-6-2 with 4 KOs. After the fight Martin revealed about his camp's plans to send him to the United States and battle tougher foes in an attempt to enhance his chances of fighting for the world crown. Martin is currently rated No. 4 in the International Boxing Federation super bantamweight rankings and No. 8 by the World Boxing Organization .
