On this day in 2002, Juan Manuel Marquez won in his 40th fight as a pro as he made Robbie Peden quit after 10 rounds.

Tell me about it. That fight is so satisfying to watch...especially if you watch the documentary of him leading to the Barrera fight. Then stick the full fight on and it's a pleasure to see him lose and lose well.
Nope it wasnt mate, it was live on Sky Box Office, I can remember ordering the fight with my mates, staying up for a 45 seconds fight lol.
yup your right :good, i remember now! i was a bit of a stinj back then tryin to avoid the results & news for a week and watching the re-run as if it was live.:yep never worked tho, as it was impossible from not knowing the result.:-(
