		The new champion, Marquez, has a career that goes back to September 14, 1995, and is arguably the hardest puncher in the bantamweight division, with a record that now stands at 29 wins, 3 loses, with 27 of his wins coming by way of knockout.
		Rafael is the brother of newly crowned IBF Featherweight Champion, Juan Manuel Marquez.
		Marquez's trainer, Nacho Beristain, and his promoter Fernando Beltran went nuts, claiming that the Austin camp was holding him up so that his feet were not completely touching the scale, which would cause him to be lighter on the scale than he actually was.

		Marquez was finding a home for his right hand and with instructions from his trainer Nacho Beristain (who also trains Juan Manuel Marquez), he began finishing his combinations crisper.

	Tim Austin vs. Rafael Marquez (February 15, 2003)
		Pressing forward, Marquez began to close the distance with the long armed champion in the second half of round two, as both normally exciting fighters remained cautious with releasing their high voltage arsenals and the fans grew restless from the lack of action.
		Exchanging hard rights at the beginning of the 6th round, Marquez drove in a one two to the beltline and was warned by referee Vic Drakulich to keep 'em.
		As the hurt Austin staggered back, Marquez connected with a wicked right-hand on the point of the chin that sent the soon to be ex-champion flying through the ropes and on to the ring apron.
