On his title challenge against Nonito Donare last year...

"The main thing I learned is don't go overseas with only a week before the fight.  I didn't get used to the time change.  Other than that, I've been hit harder, but my body didn't adjust... I would love another shot with Donaire here in the United States."

How exciting is the 115lb division right now and who is Martinez looking at fighting...

"Anybody they put in front of me.  I have to take care of business Saturday night, and maybe you can ask me again after that.  Right now I'm going to focus on getting this victory... anybody they put in front of me after that, I'm ready for them."

Corey Erdman is a host and producer at SIRIUS 98, and a freelance boxing writer formerly of The Sporting News' The Rumble. Follow him on Twitter: Corey_Erdman@Twitter
