Marquez W TKO 11

In the first four rounds of the bout, Marquez continually walked into counter lefts form Casamayor. It took Marquez until the fifth round to be able to find range with his right hand. By the fifth round, a cut over his right eye was opened and as the fight wore on, an abrasion on the bridge of his nose bled along with the cut over his eye. Rounds five, six, seven and eight were rounds where Marquez took the initiative and landed straight punches from outside, but he was also nailed by Casamayor whenever he lunged forward. In the late rounds of the bout, Marquez finally began to find his rhythm, adding his hook and choice body shots to his jab and straight right. Casamayor was dropped by a left hook as he pulled away from an intense exchange two minutes into the eleventh round. Casamayor got up and immediately tried to smother Marquez by holding, but Marquez let his hands go in furious combination, repeatedly stunning Casamayor who fell into the ropes where Marquez measured him for a perfect right hand that sent him again to the canvas, where the referee waved the bout off.

One of boxing's best, pound for pound, Juan Manuel Marquez has thrilled fight fans for over 13 years with his pinpoint accuracy and fight ending power. Best remembered for his thrilling 12 round draw with Manny Pacquiao in 2004, this former WBA and IBF and current interim WBO featherweight champion has plenty left in the tank as he chases after the big fights in the coming years.

Born in Mexico City, Marquez is one of eight children whose father was an ex-pro boxer with 35 fights to his credit. Entering the gym for the first time at the age of eight, Juan and his brother, current bantamweight world champion Rafael, quickly took to the sweet science and he began fighting in amateur tournaments at 13.

After a 35-1 amateur career that included a pair of Golden Gloves tournament wins, Marquez entered the pro ranks at the age of 19 on May 29, 1993 and lost his first bout via disqualification to Javier Duran.

Marquez wouldn't lose again for another six years as he tore through the fight scenes in Mexico and California, compiling a record of 29-1 that included a win over Agapito Sanchez and an NABO title, which he defended seven times.

This success earned him a shot at the WBA featherweight title on September 11, 1999, where Marquez would lose a controversial decision to then-unbeaten champion Freddie Norwood.

Determined to get back in the title picture, Marquez was back in the ring two months later, stopping Remigio Molina in eight rounds. Nine more wins would follow, and two fights after he stopped Robbie Peden in ten rounds for the NABF and USBA titles, 'Dinamita' got his second world title shot, this time against veteran Manuel Medina for the vacant IBF crown on February 1, 2003.

This time, Marquez would not be denied, and he halted Medina in seven rounds to win his first world title.

Two fights later, Marquez added the WBA strap when he won a seven round technical decision over Derrick Gainer, and on May 8th, 2004, he would face Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao in his first super fight.

And things didn't look good for Marquez early, as he was knocked down three times in the opening round by the explosive Pacquiao. But from the second round on, the fight was all Marquez, as he put on a stirring boxing clinic. Unfortunately, his early points deficit cost him the bout and he was forced to accept a draw. But among boxing fans, his stock rose ten fold.

After successful title defenses over Orlando Salido and Victor Polo, Marquez traveled to Indonesia to take on hometown hero Chris John on March 4, 2006 and lost his title via a highly disputed 12 round decision that many thought 'Dinamita' had won.

Disappointed, but not discouraged, Marquez returned to the ring on August 5th and earned the interim WBO featherweight championship with a seventh round stoppage of Thailand's Terdsak Jandaeng. On October 21st, he will defend this title for the first time against the Philippines' Jimrex Jaca.
