NOTABLE DATES

TONY `The Tiger’ Marshall was on a downhill run for an 11-month period from July 2000 to June 2001. During that time the Guyanese junior middleweight lost three consecutive fights.
The last occurred when he dropped a unanimous decision to Kassim `The Dream’ Ouma on June 29, 2001 at the Grand Casino in Mississippi, USA. Ouma, a 22-year-old southpaw who hailed from Kampala, Uganda, was a clear winner and one judge, Robert Williams, had him winning every round.
Ouma went on to win the International Boxing Federation (IBF) title following a decision over Verno Phillips in October 2004. Marshall’s losing streak started when he challenged for the World Boxing Council (WBC) junior middleweight title in July 2000.
The orthodox boxer lost by unanimous decision to champion Javier Castillejo. That was followed by a split decision loss to Alex Bunema in March 2001. The USA-based Marshall had his last fight in 2005.
