February did not have any high-profile boxing bout, but still there were some exciting fights inside the ring. The fight between Juan Manuel Marquez and Juan Diaz was definitely the most exciting affair in the ring in February with Marquez knocking out Diaz in the ninth round of the bout. With this victory, Marquez got off to a good start to 2009, following a successful 2008 during which he clinched titles at 126 and 130 pounds. Many think that the nine-round knock out win against Juan Diaz is perhaps Marquez’s best ever win in his career.
Well, there were some other notable fights in February too. Nate Campbell won over Ali Funeka, but vacated his titles as he failed to meet the weight division required to retain the titles. Kelly Pavlik successfully retained his World middleweight title by defeating Marco Antonio Rubio.
