The dust is finally beginning to settle after IBF world featherweight champion Kid Galahad was knocked out by Kiko Martinez in one of this year's biggest upsets.
Galahad's home city of Sheffield fell silent after he failed to get up off the canvas in round six and for the WBA 'regular' featherweight champion Leigh Wood, he couldn't believe what he had witnessed on the DAZN broadcast on Saturday night.
"The whole show was full of drama, two big upsets, I didn’t expect them either," Wood told DAZN News in an exclusive interview.
"Especially with Barry [Galahad], what a shock, this is why boxing’s so exciting.
"I was guilty of giving the main event a bit of stick, even on air I said ‘I expect Barry to get him [Martinez] out of there and he shouldn’t cause him any problems’, how wrong was I."
Despite dominating the fight for four rounds, Galahad was hit with a brutal right hook in the closing seconds of the fifth, but he managed to meet the refree's count just as the round came to a close. Then after instructions from his corner, which is led by head trainer Dominic Ingle, Galahd rose off his stool only to be hit with the same shot from the Spaniard and this time failed to rise off the ring canvas.
In the eyes of Wood, it was a combination of complacency and a well-timed shot from Martinez which contributed to Galahad's downfall.
"I don’t think he [Galahad] would have got complacent in his training building up the fight, but round-by round, he probably thought this is getting a bit easy, you can’t tag me, I’ll sit on this backfoot," said Wood.
"I watched it back a few times to count punches per round to see if Barry dropped a bit, but he didn’t."
The Nottingham fighter then went onto explain how Martinez built-up to the winning punches which helped him become two-weight world champion.
"He [Martinez] threw about five or six straight right hands before that shot. He threw it straight, threw it straight, threw it straight. Barry was sitting back parrying and the last one, it looked to come straight, Barry’s parry came out a little bit and Martinez went right round the side.
"It was a clever set-up by Kiko and I think Barry got complacent over the rounds."
Even though it was Martinez's right in round six which sealed the win, Wood dismissed the winning punch and stated it was the thumping shot at the end of the fifth which inflicted the most damage, and the effects were there to see in Galahad's corner.
"The shot at the end of the fifth finished the show, he [Galahad] didn’t really recover from it.
"Dominic Ingle said to him ‘are you listening’, Barry just nodded, he weren’t quite there, he hadn’t recovered.
"Maybe he shouldn’t have even gone out for the next round, I don’t think he knew what he was doing, obviously he knew where he was, but I don’t think his senses were reacting right."
Whenever a champion suffers a defeat in dramatic fashion, questions are immediately asked as to what fight will be next and for Galahad it's no different. Will the product of the famous Ingle Gym look for redemption against Martinez or make the move up to super-featherweight?
Galahad has struggled making the 126lb for recent fights and came in one ounce over the limit at last week's weigh-in. The 31-year-old managed to make the weight after hitting the scales for a second time two hours later.
"I think he’ll want to right that wrong," Wood responded when asked about whether Galahad should take the rematch.
"In regard to the weigh-in, we know he struggles to make the weight, the way he does it isn’t ideal.
"He was only an ounce over which is nothing. They always like to come in bang on on the weight, it’s a kind of mental edge over your opponent.
"It’s no secret he doesn’t make the weight easy, they’ll go away and talk about it, I know he’ll want to put that right, if he wants to stay at featherweight or not, that will be the key factor."
