After his meteoric ascension to the top of the Lightweight division, Juan Manuel Marquez has been honoured as Hispanic boxer of the year at the "Tecate Premios Deportes" (Tecate Sports Awards).
After knocking out Joel Casamayor in September and his fight of the year candidate knock out of Juan Diaz in February, Marquez beat off competition from Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, Juan Manuel Lopez, Chris Arreola and Victor Ortiz.
Marquez was further honoured as he won the Hispanic athlete of the year beating Carmelo Anthony, Cuahtemoc Blanco, Tony Gonzalez, Rafael Nadal, Guillermo Ochoa, Lorena Ochoa and Francisco Rodriguez to the award.
As Marquez prepares to take on Floyd Mayweather on September 19th, this can only boost his confidence and stand him in good stead.
