American boxer Frank Martin, 26, is already looking like he will be one of the most exciting fighters of 2022.

The lightweight southpaw needed just four rounds to dispatch Romero Duno in explosive fashion as he rained firework fists on his opponent's face and body, while barely getting hit in return.

It was a statement-making performance made during the Premier Boxing Champions show New Year's Day at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

Duno threw 63 jabs in the fight but landed just one on Martin — a lead shot in the second round.

His other landed punches were all deemed significant, or powerful, yet his success rate was still pitiful when compared to Martin's pinpoint accuracy.

Martin landed 58 of his 183 punches through the four rounds, including 10 body shots. 27 of his landed shots were jabs, while 31 were power punches, according to Compubox data sent to Insider.

The second knockdown in the fourth round closed the show:

The way in which Martin ended the fight, though, will be replayed over the years. He seemed to send shivers down the backs of the commentators, in a punching sequence that invigorated the Florida crowd.

Martin had pop in his shots and was unrelenting in his pursuit of a TV-friendly finish, midway through a boxing show broadcast on Fox pay-per-view.

With victory Martin advanced his undefeated pro boxing record to 15 wins from 15 fights (11 knockouts), and continued his rise in a 135-pound division featuring big-name fighters like Gervonta Davis, George Kambosos Jr., Vasiliy Lomachenko, Teofimo Lopez, and Devin Haney.

The new year may be young, but Martin appears to be an up-and-coming fighter who is well-equipped to take 2022 by storm.
