How Did Martinez Get His Shot?

Just looking at the undercard for this weekends fights from Atlantic City between Barker and Geale, and I note that Kiko Martinez is fighting Johnathon Romero for the IBF World Bantamweight title?

Is it a case that Carl Frampton isnt ready for a world title tilt? Or has all this switching promotional teams had an adverse effect. I know Carl has a re-ocurring injury but no attempt made from their camp to challenge Romero for his belt?

Scott Quigg on the other hand is going for the interim WBA, a step in the right direction if you ask me, and a hard test if records and reviews are to be believed, but again should the Hearns not have been attempting to challenge Romero for the IBF title??

Pretty weak oppostion in Martinez for Romero, especially when there are two great talents like Quigg and Frampton, hungry, dedicated and in my eyes ready for that shot...

Have the promoters on this side of the pond slept in? Are Quigg/Frampton not ready for this type fight? Or have other circumstances played a part in either fighter having a dig at Romero?

Wrong board, sir. Unless you're referring to Martinez's shot at managing Everton.

Ha!

Just thought you guys would know about all Martinez's...

Sorry folks!

I think hes done a decent job at Wigan to earn a bigger job

I think Paul Jewell would knockout Martinez with one punch.
