Juan Manuel Marquez to retire after fall to Timothy Bradley
Mexican boxing legend Juan Manuel Marquez is considering retirement after his loss to Timothy Bradley in Las Vegas last Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
Marquez was hoping to become the first Mexican boxer to win world titles in five different weight classes when he agreed to the bout that featured the last two fighters to beat Filipino ring hero Manny Pacquiao.
But to the jeers of a pro-Marquez crowd at the Thomas and Mack Center, two judges awarded the bout to Bradley, 116-112 and 115-113, while the third judge saw it 115-113 for Marquez.

AFTER weeks of speculation, National University star Bobby Ray Parks has made it known he is not joining next month’s PBA rookie draft.
Charlie Dy, Parks’ representative, said on Monday the decision was made easier for the Bulldogs star since he failed to satisfy the PBA draft requirements for rookie applicants, prompting the two-time UAAP Most Valuable Player to consider other options.
“Ray-ray is turning 21 only on February 19, then ga-graduate siya March next year pa so hindi pa siya eligible for the PBA draft,” told Dy
