Can't find any of Marroquin's fights, hope he puts up a decent fight so Rigo can get some rounds in.

From what i have seen from Marroqiun's previous fights, he is a very very tough kid but i still don't like the fight.

Below is Marroquins previous fight.

Some people say he's tough but they also say he's wild.

Depends on how you define "picking up the gauntlet". If you mean filling the void left by Mayweather, Pacman, Martinez or other bonafide superstars than I think Ward, Donaire, Gamboa, Broner, Khan, Mares and to a lesser extent Canelo/Jcc Jr are more than capable of eventually picking up the gauntlet. Younger prospects like Magdaleno, Bogere, Russell Jr, Benavidez, Cruz, and Marroquin need to be built to last and not thrown into the fire at this stage. Marroquin only has like 1 or 2 10 rounders under his belt and he lost to Franky Leal just last year, he's not ready and Rigo needs to have bigger fights lined up for the future.

Donaire, Gamboa and Rigo are already too old to "pick up the gauntlet." And Lara might be too as slow as they (GBP) are moving him.

Now Magdaleno and Russell are some names I like.

After watching the fight, there's some qualities I like, but those same qualities can/will be taken advantage of by Rigo. His aggressiveness, eagerness to throw combinations, and belief in his power means he's gonna leave himself open to get countered a lot. His size will provide a challenge, but his style won't. Rigo via 7th round TKO.
