Frank Martin emerged victorious in a challenging encounter against Jackson Marinez, securing a tenth-round stoppage in their lightweight bout at The Alamodome.

With a record of 16-0, including 12 knockouts, Martin faced difficulties against Marinez, who stood at 19-3 with 7 KOs. In the ninth round, Martin landed a decisive counter left and right hook, sending Marinez to the canvas just before the round concluded.

Entering the tenth round, Martin continued his dominance, knocking Marinez down again, prompting referee Rafael Ramos to halt the fight just 30 seconds into the round. At the time of the stoppage, Martin was leading on the scorecards with scores of 88-82 on two cards and 87-83 on the third.

Marinez, hailing from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, stepped in as a replacement for Ricardo Nunez due to visa issues.

The electrifying conclusion underscored the intensity of Martin's toughest test yet in his five-year professional career. Initially relying on his southpaw jab, Martin faced resistance from the taller Marinez, who effectively countered Martin's advances with right hands and left hooks. However, Martin's perseverance paid off, particularly in the seventh round when he responded to his trainer Derrick James's encouragement, elevating the tempo and overwhelming Marinez with a barrage of body shots and uppercuts.

For Marinez, the defeat marked his third consecutive loss, following contentious decisions in previous bouts. Despite his setbacks, Martin remains optimistic about his future in the lightweight division. With a boxing journey that began at 18 years old and culminated in winning the 2016 National Golden Gloves, Martin is now promoted by unified welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. and eyes challenging the top contenders in his weight class.

"I'm on par with the best in the division. Include me in their conversations," affirmed Martin.
