MIAMI
(September 11, 2012) -- World Boxing Association Super Bantamweight
Champion Guillermo "El Chacal" Rigondeaux is expected to defend his
title this Saturday evening against Robert Marroquin (22-1, 15 KOs), on
the Sergio Martinez-Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr. HBO Pay-Per-View event, live
from the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A
Circuit Court in Miami ruled on August 21 to enjoin Rigondeaux (10-0, 8
KOs) from engaging in any bout not approved by his manager, Gary Hyde,
and also enjoined Rigondeaux from participating in this Saturday's
scheduled show promoted Top Rank.
Last
night, however, Hyde and Top Rank reached a resolution to allow the
Rigondeaux-Marroquin title fight to go forward, and the Nevada State
Athletic Commission was informed this morning.
"Thanks
to my attorneys, Patrick English and Bill Brown, we have negotiated a
far superior deal to fight Robert Marroquin on September 15th," said
Hyde, who has managed Rigondeaux since the two-time Olympic gold
medalist defected from Cuba in 2007. "'Rigo doesn't get involved or side
tracked by legal dramas. He has promised me that he is at his all-time
best and that he will KO Marroquin."
