As a result, Julio has 21 fights, 18 wins, 1 loss, and 2 no contests. Among these records, he won 14 matches by knockout and 4 by decisions and has lost only one game to date by decision, which is an impressive record a tough athlete can ever have.

While fighting Edwards, Julio Cesar Martinez landed a combination of punches that staggered the champion, forcing him to take a knee in the third round of the fight. Julio landed a heavy body shot that completely took Edwards out of the battle as he did so.

Mark Lyson stopped the bout while WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman reviewed the fight-ending sequence. Sulaiman found the fight-ending shot to have landed egregiously late, officially overturning the dispute to a no-contest.

However, the bout was declared a no-contest at the end of the second round owing to an unintentional head clash that resulted in a gash above Arroyo’s right. When Arroyo told the ringside physician that he couldn’t see out of his wounded eye, the bout was called off.
