JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ BATTERS
ROCKY JUAREZ...
by George Elsasser
Early on we see commission hack medicine
man visiting the Juarez corner and informing house idiot in
charge referee “Bobby” - and ain’t that a cute name for a
senior citizen- Ferrara to let the carnage continue.
Marquez quickly targets the wounded
orbit, and to interested observers among the paying clientele
at ringside, a taken vote would have been a resounding no-mas!
But not the case with the medicine man,
referee, and for shame the alleged Juarez brain trust - from
manager, cut man, to alleged trainer - more qualified as
cheerleader turned trainer Ronnie Shields, could see a lost
cause staring them in the face.
JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ RETAINS WBC BELT - GUERRERO KEEPS IBF
TITLE WITH FIRST ROUND TKO OVER HONORIO
Two world class boxers entered the ring as
champions and left in the same fashion,
Saturday, Nov. 3 on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP
BOXING.
Juan Manuel Marquez (48-3-1, 35 KOs) of Mexico
City, Mexico showed the boxing world why he is one of the most
feared and respected boxers of his era by methodically breaking
down Rocky Juarez (27-4, 19 KOs) of Houston, Texas over 12
rounds to score a unanimous decision.
In the co-feature, another tremendous warrior, Robert Guerrero
(21-1-1, 14 KOs) of Gilroy, California, was able to stay
mentally and emotionally sharp by dropping
Martin Honorio (24-4-1, 12 KOs) of Mexico City,
Mexico with a straight left at the :56 mark of
the first round.
ROCKY JUAREZ WORKOUT QUOTES
"When I was offered the fight with Marquez, I was thinking
positively. I know I am going to beat him, there was never a doubt in my
mind..."
"I'm excited to get back in the ring on November 3rd. Now that the venue
has been announced my fans from the Bay Area can get their tickets. I
want to thank my management team of Shelly Finkel and Bob Santos along with my
promoter Dan Goossen for making this fight happen.
JUAN MANUEL MARQUEZ VS. RICARDO
ROCKY JUAREZ FOR THE WORLD SUPER FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE AT DESERT DIAMOND CASINO

Golden Boy Promotions is bringing one of the most highly
anticipated fights of the year to Southern Arizona. Juan

featherweights will headline the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP
BOXING telecast. The co-main event will be for the World
Featherweight Title as Robert Guerrero puts his belt on the

Marquez, the WBC super featherweight champion, was forced to
withdraw from his original date with Juarez (this Saturday,
Sept. 15) after suffering an infection in his right hand.
Doctors have assured the champion that he will be healed
and ready to go for the rescheduled date of Nov. 3.
Marquez vs. Juarez, which headlines an exciting night of
world-class professional boxing presented by Golden Boy
Promotions in association with Romanza Productions, will air
live on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING beginning at 9 p.m.
ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast).
Due to an injury suffered in training camp
by WBC Super Featherweight World Champion Juan Manuel Marquez,
the September 15 "Fireworks" Pay-Per-View show promoted by
Golden Boy Promotions and scheduled for the MGM Grand in Las
Vegas has been cancelled.
FIREWORKS
SEPTEMBER 15: ACTION PACKED FIGHT CARD SET FOR THE EVE OF MEXICAN INDEPENDENT DAY
It’s a fight card saturated with the hope of legitimacy; the
drama of redemption; and the suspense of lasting and/or
emerging ring-greatness. The eight fighters’ records combine
for an impressive 211-21-4 with 118 KO’s in those
bouts—that’s an average of 26-3 with 15 KO’s.
Rightfully dubbed “Fireworks,” this incredible night of live
boxing action on the eve of Mexican Independence Day includes
battles for two world titles; two Olympians (and a third who
qualified but turned it down to go pro), two Contender finalists
(one who won the first season and the other who came in second
in season two) and a former Ugandan child soldier turned
champion.
