Its on FOX Sports, he is 17-0 and is facing a tough fighter Acros who is 16-2-1. I have seen any of his fights in person and he may be the best prospect out of Dallas in a while. Check it out Saturday nigh

he was 160-20 in the amateurs, even has a amateur win over Gary Russell Jr (a real talented kid), went 102 vs Russell in the am's. I expect Marroquin to end up with a title some day

ya its pretty neat we have a good rivalry down hear, Marroquin fights mainly at 118 or 122 (I think 118 at the moment) and was a top amateur, Luis Yanez a 2008 Olympian with over 200 amatuer wins absolutely hate each other.
They both fight of two rival mexiccan gym's, down here if your a hispanic boxing fan your either a Yanez or Marroquin fan. Yanez is best suited for 106, but knows there isn't any money there, he has already fought at 118 be and should fight anywhere between 106 and 118. Hopefully these two are undefeated and have a showdown in Dallas the way it should be in a couple of years with some belts on the line.

I know there is Yanez's pro debut on youtube somehwere I ll find it cause i wanna see it. Yanez is flamboyant to the point where he is kinda like "Wild THang" Charlie Sheen, he names combos, and trick punches and tries to do them in fights, I think its gonna get him lit up sooner or later but its fun to watch.
Sometimes he does the superman pose mid fight, someones gonna tag him one day
