Jonathan Patrick Beresford vs. Miguel Ángel Marriaga

National Day After St. Patrick's Day Hangover Day (March 18th) in the UAE. Ten rounds at featherweight. Co-main event of the Big Baby vs. Big Daddy (Jarrell Miller vs. Lucas Browne) disgraced heavyweight rumble.

Interesting fight. Jono is the bigger man, a natural super feather, and six years Marriaga's junior. He also throws about double the volume and is more durable, having never been stopped professionally and perhaps never even taken off his feet. (?)

On the other hand, the Colombian banger has an inch on the Irish southpaw and far more KO power...at least at 126lbs. Above that weight his voyages has not been very successful, as the three time world title challenger has been dropped in four separate contests at 130lbs (Valdez, Lomachenko, Ramírez & Conlan - all losses) and his one sojourn to super lightweight against Ruben Cervera.

 

Is there a big enough difference in size, chin and shotness to suggest Jono stops him?

 

Strewth.
