IN ACTION ON SATURDAY NIGHT AT WINSTAR

“I was born, raised in Dallas,” said Marroquin. “I have one brother, three sisters. I started boxing when I

was eight years old. My dad encouraged me, saying he didn't want me running around on the streets. The

first time I boxed it was at a flea market – no kidding. But now I am prepared and ready for a big

fight like this.”

Leal, 25, has a record of 15-5-3, 9 KOs. In his last bout he had a 12 round draw against 11-2-0 Miguel

in Las Vegas with former champion Mike McCallum at the Top Rank Gym. Korobov will face Marcos

Primera of North Carolina.

NFL player Tommy Zbikowski of the Baltimore Ravens goes into his 4th pro bout, taking on Blake Warner

of Oklahoma City. Tommy Z, as he is known in boxing, has been training with Emanuel Steward in Detroit.

Heavyweight Andy Ruiz, 9-0, of Mexicali is taking on Angel Herrera, 6-4-3, of Texas. Ruiz trains at the

Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, Calif.
