A new star in boxing is born as Puerto Rico's Juan Manuel 'JuanMa' Lopez defeated future hall of famer Rafael Marquez via 8th round TKO when Marquez, after absorbing heavy punishment in the previous two rounds, refused to come out at the start of the 9th round at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas Saturday night (Sunday morning in Manila).
Lopez remains undefeated at 30-0-0 with 27 knockouts and has successfully defended his WBO featherweight title against the two division champion Marquez who goes down to 39-6-0.
