Roberto Marroquin Headlines Top Rank Live on April 16

By Ryan Burton

BoxingScene.com has been advised that undefeated featherweight prospect Roberto Marroquin (18-0) will headline a Top Rank Live card at the Winstar Casino in Thackerville, OK on April 16th.

Marroquin is coming off an impressive 4th round knockout of Eduardo Arcos (17-3) at the Texas Station Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas. He landed a single left hook to the temple to drop his opponent midway through the 4th round.  Arcos rose to his feet on shaky legs and went back down, this time for good after a second left hook to the temple landed.

When asked if he was looking to land that specific punch Marroquin told BoxingScene, "Actually I was. He would tap his right foot when he was going to throw a punch. I had been waiting for an opening and I found it in their in the 4th round."

Marroquin wants to stay busy and hopes to get a shot at a title soon. "I just want to stay active. Whoever Top Rank tells me to fight is fine with me.  I know my shot at a title will come soon."
