Eddie Martinez is set to face Turan Hasanov on July 8th at Take-On Productions "Battle at the Beacon Theater". The pair have fought twice as amateurs splitting the fights and now the rubber match is set in the pro ranks. Eddie was kind enough to take some time and talk to Muay Thai Authority about the upcoming rubber match with Turan Hasanov.
MTA: You are fighting Turan Hasanov at Take on Productions July show "Battle at the Beacon", how is the training going?
Eddie: Training is going very well, I feel strong and ready for the fight.
MTA: You are very familiar with Turan as you both have split a pair of fights as amateurs, do you think it is easier preparing for this fight since you have fought before or more difficult?
Eddie: I prepare the same way for all of my fights regardless of who my opponent is.
MTA: We heard there was some bad blood between the two of you, is that true and if so how did it start?
Eddie: I guess you could say there is some bad blood between us, I just don’t respect him as a fighter. He does not act the way a mature athlete should and it’s disrespectful to me, the other fighters and our coaches.
MTA: Where do you feel your strengths will be in the fight against Turan?
Eddie: My strengths for this fight are no different than any other of my fights. I am an extremely strong and skillful fighter.
MTA: As far as Turans skills go, where do you think he might have an advantage in the fight?
Eddie: He doesn’t have any advantage
MTA: Can you give us a prediction for the fight?
Eddie: All I can say is that it’s going to be a great show, a great comeback fight, and will end with me as the winner.
MTA: What are your future plans as far as Muay Thai goes following your fight with Turan?
Eddie: For right now, I plan to keep training and looking for challenging fighters to compete with.
