WBO flyweight champion Brian Viloria (31-3, 18 KO?s) is scheduled to fight WBA champion Hernan ?Tyson? Marquez (34-2, 25 KO?s) in a bout to be held at the Home Depot Center in Carson City, California, tentatively set for September 29.
Marquez is coming off an unimpressive majority decision win in a ten round super flyweight bout against Fernando Lumacad last Saturday. Two judges scored it for Marquez 97-94 while the third judge had it even at 95-95.
However, Marquez claimed Lumacad refused to engage and was merely content to survive.
Marquez who complained about ?a lot of pain in the right ankle from the third round on? said Lumacad ?did not want to fight, and he stayed far away and his sole intention was to finish the fight standing. I could not cut him off."
Top Australian promoter Peter Maniatis who handles Lumacad together with Jim Manangquil claimed that Lumacad ?looked faster and sharper with his punches? and should have won the fight.
For his part Manangquil said Lumacad ?injured his hand during the sixth round and was also really affected by jetlag andf slep only 3-4 hours a day since his arrival in Mexico.
Marquez told boxingscene.com that although he was disappointed with his performance in the Lumacad fight he said ?gave me a good idea that 115-pounds is not yet my real weight, so I'll remain a little longer at 112-pounds. I plan to challenge Viloria in September. "
The hard-hitting Mexican champion said ?Viloria is tough, but his style is good for me because Viloria loves to fight."
Boxing Scene reported that Marquez will soon meet with his team to work out a strategy for training and then plans to begin his next camp on August 5th.
