The People's Championship is really really cursed I would know, I got owned by it multiple times Happened to Bladerunner too, I think we're both 0-2 or something after we claimed it. :yep
I take this as a loss but a moral victory, Walters power is overrated and he's not nearly as devastating against actual Featherweights, instead of blown up Bantamweights. Marriaga may have been able to finish him had Benji Estevez not ****ed it up. He shouldn't have stopped the action when Marriaga had him hurt.
Am I fond of him..... no not really. I think he's been vastly overrated because of his victories over shot to hell versions of Donaire and absolute shell of a fighter in Voc.
Hmm na I think he's a top fighter. I have a few problems with his weight, but he looked pretty impressive against a decent looking opponent. It was Donaire who went up where he didn't belong. Marriaga looks the goods though, a solid win there.
That's another reason I think its a moral victory I've been high on Marriaga for a while as well, and he went the distance, when almost everyone said he was going to get KTFO.:thumbsup
