Nicholas ?The Axe Man? Walters who lost his WBA featherweight title on the scales when he failed to make the limit, kept his unbeaten record intact against former amateur nemesis Miguel Marriaga and although Walters won handily, it was a disappointing performance by the bigger and stronger Jamaican at The Theater in Madison Square Garden, New York.
All three judges scored the fight for Walters who dropped Marriaga in the 9th round by margins of 118-109, 117-110 and 119-108.
Both fighters started off cautiously but occasionally threw some big shots but the fireworks that fight fans expected didn?t come and the fighters were even booed.
The WBA title which Walters won with a crushing 6th round TKO of five division world champion Nonito ?The Filipino Flash? Donaire at the StubHub Center in Carson City, California last April is now vacant since only Marriaga was eligible to grab the title with a victory but he failed in his effort.
