¿What featherweight(126lbs) title? ¿Or is Marquez is going back down in weight? Cause Nishioka is the JR FEATHERWEIGHT(122lbs) WBC Champ...& the last time Marquez fought at that weight class was in 2008 against Vazquez & he lost..So it's been 3 years since the last time Marquez fought in that weight class & lost & he also lost his last fight by TKO at 126lbs & STILL GETS A SHOT AT THE TITLE!! WOW! That's definitely PARASITE Sulaiman at work!! The fighters ranked 1-10 must be really pissed cause they just got skipped!!

Super featherweight is 130 pounds so Marquez is actually moving up in weight.

Toshiaki Nishioka is JR.Featherweight WBC champ 122lbs.
I guess he's going down if it's for the title
Marquez has the resume and name value to bypass other contenders

Is this really true? The news just got me excited like hell! Super bantamweight or featherweight, either will be fine. With a world championship hanging in the balance or not, this will be a huge showdown between Mexico and Japan. This is as exciting as Nishioka - Gonzales, and more exciting than Hasegawa - Montiel. I'm seeing Nishioka win by KO and there will be a pelea revancha en pesso pluma contra Jhonny Gonzales in the very near future. Let the fight happen!

Nishioka's got this.

Great skills, fast hands, decent pop and the best footwork in the sport IMO.

This must be a good fight, but in Nevada???? I doubt! A Japanese Champion always fight in their home turf!
