    Im working on trying to find the source for the Broner fight but here is Garry Rusell jr. Maybe Marroquin is a little better than people give him credit for.

    Also see that Marroquin won the 2006 jr olympics. number 1. Marroquin is no Teon Kennedy

    Marroquin (22-1, 15 KOs), from Dallas, TX, is known for bring the “total package” – a fan-favorite combination of style, technique, power and personality. A former amateur standout with victories over

    Im not saying this means Marroquin wins, but it seems to Marroquin is a little better than people think. To be honest, if we are going to talk amateur achievements, it dont get much better than Rigondeaux. Rigo has beaten better amateurs than Broner and Russell

    Yeah I agree.. this is a real test.. not the best test.. but more real than what he's had.. even though Kennedy and Ramos aren't push overs in my opinion...

    This guy lost clearly to a gatekeeper and has never faced a genuine contender. He hasn't earned a title shot and is no test at all for rigo, who doesn't have time on his side and really needs to start fighting top fighters (although it's mainly arums fault). He's already had one mismatch fight against Kennedy, doesn't need another one.

    I thought it was clear by now that...
    a) amateur wins don't say anything about the result in the pro ranks, because of the obvious differences and age issues.
    b) the winner of a amateur bout isn't always the deserved winner.

    Let's see how good this Marroquin caracter really is.

    Good to see Rigo stepping up the competition, even if it's just a little

    Marroquin's amateur record is impressive, 165-15

    This will be a clash between two amateur stars still untested at the pro level

    interesting match

    So if Rigo disposes of this guy, is justifying of his pro greatness and why Donaire "ducks" him?

    Rigo will make Marroquin look like a bum.

    Hes levels above Broner and Russell jr.
