Walters easily outpoints Marriaga in featherweight bout (The Associated Press)
Nicholas Walters heard the crowd booing the lack of action and waiting for him to live up to his ”Axe Man” nickname. Then again, he had not fought an opponent as tough as Miguel Marriaga until Saturday night’s WBA featherweight fight in which he did enough to remain unbeaten with a unanimous decision. In a rematch from their 2008 amateur bout that Marriaga won in Guatemala, the 29-year-old landed 34 percent of his overall punches and 52 percent of power punches.
