Comments Thread For: Walters: Marriaga Making Too Much Of Our Amateur Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK – Nicholas Walters can’t believe how much Miguel Marriaga is making out of his amateur victory over Walters.

Colombia’s Marriaga (20-0, 18 KOs) defeated Jamaica’s Walters (25-0, 21 KOs) in an Americas Olympic Qualifier fight in April 2008, which helped prevent Walters from competing in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Walters swears he has no recollection of their fight, but Marriaga doesn’t believe the man he’ll challenge for the WBA featherweight title Saturday night in The Theater at Madison Square Garden (HBO; 10 p.m. ET).

I don't know what to think about Marriaga. Best fight he had was against Martin and even though he stomped him, it's Martin. Then again, this is his opportunity to show how good he is.

Walter's best win before Nonito was a bloated up and old Darchinyan that got KO'd by Donaire...

Gonna be a nice brawl

I think Walters is going to lose, by the way how can you forget the guy who beat you from going to the Olympics pure BS. Everyone even if you had 1000 amateur bouts you would remember the guy who beat you when it's Olympic time

This will be a great fight. Boxing every week is freaking amazing. I feel spoiled and I don't want to go back.

I agree with Walters. This guy is acting like because he out pointed Walters like 9 to 14 in an amateur fight 8 years ago, that he is going to dominate him tomorrow.

Lol, this isn't the amateurs, you won't be wearing headgear, landing 5 more punches doesn't mean anything and Walters has been facing the much better comp as a pro.

All this talking is setting Marriaga up for a serious beat down.
