Joet Gonzalez decisions Miguel Marriaga

Joet Gonzalez W10 Miguel Marriaga... In the ESPN co-feature, featherweight Joet Gonzalez earned a one-sided unanimous decision over three-time world title challenger Miguel Marriaga (29-4, 25 KOs). Official scores were 99-91 (twice) and 97-93. Promoted by Golden Boy, Gonzalez, (24-1, 14 KOs) got a big win on Top Rank's show in Las Vegas. He had not fought since losing a one-sided decision to Shakur Stevenson last October for the vacant WBO featherweight title. Gonzalez said, “This puts me back in the position I want to be. I wanted to be back in with tough guys. I told my manager, Frank Espinoza, and my team at Golden Boy that I didn’t want no tune-up fights. I wanted to show people that I could compete with the top guys and be in with heavy hitters and boxers and compete for another title real soon. I want another world title shot. I think I’ve earned it.” source: top rank
