Nacho: Marquez's Future Depends on The Right Knee

By Miguel Rivera

According to trainer Nacho Beristain, the future of former four division world champion Juan Manuel Marquez (56-7-1, 40KOs) depends on the health of his right knee. Marquez, 41-years-old, began having problems with the knee as he was heading into his May fight with Mike Alvarado. Marquez continues to rehab the knee, but admits that it's not been coming along as expected and threatens the possibility of a final fight or two.

"Before anything else is the physical aspect. Hopefully Juan Manuel recovers from the knee injury. He's in rehab. Later on we'll have to see how he feels on his knee. If it doesn't get better, we'll have to see what happens. He probably won't fight again, but that's a decision for him to make," Nacho said.
