Marquez vs Fedchenko Results: Juan Manuel Marquez Wins Easy Decision in Mexico City

Juan Manuel Marquez had no real trouble with Serhiy Fedchenko tonight in Mexico City, winning pretty easily as most everyone expected, taking a wide unanimous decision on the cards. Scores were 119-109 and 118-110 twice for Marquez.

Marquez improves to 54-6-1 (39 KO) with the win, and gains the interim WBO junior welterweight title. Fedchenko falls to 30-2 (13 KO), but may have improved his stock as a potential opponent for name fighters looking to stay busy without taking a real risk, but not fighting someone who totally lacks credibility.

Marquez will likely return on July 14 in Texas at Cowboys Stadium, possibly facing Brandon Rios, who took a complete robbery win over Richard Abril in the Vegas main event of the Top Rank PPV tonight. If Marquez vs Rios doesn't happen -- and Rios doesn't deserve it, but deserve's got nothin' to do with boxing -- then one of them may face Mike Alvarado, who won an instant classic over Mauricio Herrera tonight.

Thank you for joining us this evening for the full card.
