Earlier today in Las Vegas, Nevada, inside of the Top Rank Boxing Gym, WBC super bantamweight champion Toshiaki Nishioka and Rafael Marquez entertained the media ahead of their duel this Saturday night inside of the Marquee Ballroom in the MGM Grand.

Nishioka is unknown to many American fight fans but is riding a fifteen-bout unbeaten streak and possesses adequate power and some quickness, as evidenced by his 3rd round knockout over Jhonny Gonzalez a few years back. Marquez has always been an entertaining performer and even if he isn’t quite the same fighter at age 36, we still should be in for a good fight on Saturday.
