Jono Carroll vs. Miguel Marriaga 

On March 18th, 2023, boxing fans around the world will be treated to an exciting featherweight bout between Jono Carroll of Ireland and Miguel Marriaga of Colombia. The fight will be held at the Agenda Arena in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and broadcast live on Probox TV. In this article, we will provide a detailed preview of each fighter, analyzing their past performances, notable skills, and potential game plans for the upcoming fight. Based on this analysis, we will make a final prediction on the likely outcome of the bout.

Jono Carroll

Jono Carroll is a 30-year-old southpaw with a record of 23-2-1, with just 7 knockouts. He turned pro in 2012 after a successful amateur career that saw him compete in the Irish Youth, Under-21, and Intermediate championships. Since turning pro, Carroll has boxed 171 rounds and has won titles such as the Lightweight Title in the British Prizefighter tournament in 2014.

Carroll has beaten the likes of Andy Vencves, Declan Geraghty, Gary Buckland, Stephen Foster, and Barrington Brown. In 2017, he beat John Quigley by a 12-round split decision to win the vacant IBF European Super Featherweight Title. He then beat Humberto de Santiago by third-round TKO to capture the vacant IBF Inter-Continental Super Featherweight Crown and defended it against Geraghty by ninth-round stoppage.

Carroll's biggest battle came against Tevin Farmer in 2019 when Farmer still held the IBF Super Featherweight Title. Carroll put up a good fight but dropped a unanimous decision. Carroll bounced back with a 10-round unanimous decision over Eleazar Valenzuela and stopped Scott Quigg in the 11th round in his next outing in 2020. His second defeat came at the hands of Maxi Hughes via a close 10-round unanimous decision in August 2020, and his lone draw was a 12-round affair with Guillaume Frenois in 2018.

Miguel Marriaga

Miguel Marriaga is a 36-year-old boxer from Colombia, with a record of 30-4, with 26 knockouts. He turned pro in 2009 after a brief amateur career and has since accumulated 198 rounds of experience. Marriaga has won four straight bouts after losing to Vasyl Lomachenko for the WBO Super Featherweight Crown in 2017, with all four of them coming by stoppage.

Marriaga's defeats have been to Nicholas Walters, Oscar Valdez, Joet Gonzalez, Eduardo Ramirez, and Michael Conlan. Marriaga won the WBC Continental Americas and WBO NABO Featherweight Titles.

Marriaga likes to initiate the action in the ring while moving forward by throwing power shots to the head and body. However, he doesn’t really utilize his jab all that well, which could cost him in this fight. His power means that he’s never really out of a fight though, as he can turn things around with a single punch. When he fought upper-class opponents such as Walters, Valdez, and Lomachenko for world titles, he fell short. Nonetheless, Carroll isn’t on that level, and since turning pro, Marriaga has won a couple of minor belts such as the WBC Continental Americas and the WBO NABO Featherweight Titles.

Prediction

Carroll's speed, footwork, and superior work ethic give him a clear advantage in this matchup. While Marriaga has better power and can turn things around with a single punch, Carroll's technical skills and conditioning make him a more complete fighter. It is likely that Carroll will win this fight by a decision. If he can maintain a high pace throughout the fight and avoid Marriaga's power shots, he should be able to outbox his opponent and win on points.
