Efrain Esquivias made a big impression when he knocked out former two-division champ Rafael Marquez in the ninth round of an exciting featherweight bout on Sept. 7, probably sending Marquez into retirement. Esquivias (17-2-1, 10 KOs) is hoping to parlay the high-profile win into a shot at a junior featherweight title. Had Marquez won, Golden Boy was planning to give him a crack at 122-pound titleholder Leo Santa Cruz. But with Esquivias knocking Marquez out, he hopes that maybe he can get the opportunity.
