This past Saturday super lightweight , Ryan “Blue Chip” Martin (26-2, 16 KOs), made a successful return to the ring in extraordinary fashion, delivering a second-round knockout over the tough challenger Rogelio “Hercules” Jun Doliguez (25-6-2, 19 KOs). The scheduled 8-round bout took place at the Lum Color Center in Ontario, California, under the promotional banner of Elite Boxing USA.
After being absent from the ring for over a year, Martin shook off the rust and showcased his raw talent from the opening bell. Round one saw Martin battering Doliguez with a plethora of hard, precise punches, mostly left and right hooks, and straight right crosses. The electrifying moment came in the second round when Martin unleashed a vicious left hook to the body, sending Doliguez to the canvas. Doliguez was unable to make the 10-count, resulting in a sensational second-round knockout victory for Martin.
