Juan Manuel Marquez took the World Boxing Counsel super featherweight tittle from Marco Antonio Barrera, winning unanimous 12-round decision. Marquez improved to 47-3 with one drawn on judges' scores of 118-109, 116-111 and 116-111. Barrera fell to 64-5, losing in his fifth defense of the crown.
The title was not the first for Marquez, who took the World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation featherweight titles in 2003.
Marquez stunned Barrera in the seventh round but Barrera knocked him down with a solid right, then hit Marquez with another right while he was on the mat.
That prompted referee Jay Nady to deduct a point from Barrera and not give him credit for a knockdown.
