Featherweights Miguel Marriaga and Guy Robb will meet in a world title elimination bout Aug. 27 at the Churchill County Fairgrounds in Fallon, Nevada, Top Rank vice president Carl Moretti told ESPN.com on Thursday.The fight will headline Top Ranks Solo Boxeo Tecate card (UniMas, 11 p.m. ET/PT), with the winner earning a mandatory world title fight against the winner of the Oscar Valdez-Matias Adrian Rueda bout, which will take place on the Terence Crawford-Viktor Postol undercard July 23 (HBO PPV) at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.Valdez (19-0, 17 KOs) and Rueda (26-0, 23 KOs) will meet for the 126-pound world title recently vacated by Vasyl Lomachenko, who moved up in weight and knocked out Roman Rocky Martinez in the fifth round June 11 to win a junior lightweight world title.Marriaga (23-1, 19 KOs), of Colombia, fought for a vacant featherweight world title last June but lost a unanimous decision to Nicholas Walters, who had been stripped of the belt the day before the fight for failing to make weight.Since the loss, Marriaga, 29, has won three fights in a row, albeit against nondescript opposition.The 27-year-old Robb (18-1, 8 KOs), of Sacramento, California, has won 11 fights in a row since a seventh-round knockout loss to Joel Diaz Jr. in a meeting of prospects in January 2012.Marriaga came back from the loss to Walters by winning. He earned his way back by being active and getting three wins in a row, Moretti said. Robb is a guy who really, really wants this opportunity to fight for the No. 1 position.The Marriaga-Robb winner probably will not get the title fight in the next bout because the mandatory title fight wont be due yet.Whether its the next fight or not, this fight is on national TV, and it will create some interest in the winner fighting the Valdez-Rueda winner, Moretti said. People will see it, and you build up the title fight when it is due. Cristian Javier Jersey . "We have always prided ourselves on the way we play defence.

Defenceman Yannick Weber scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period and the Canucks breathed a sigh of relief with a 2-1 win on Saturday night. DENVER -- Chris Archer appreciated Tim Beckhams big day at the plate. He valued the infielders encouraging words even more.Archer struck out 11 over six innings for his first win since June 6, Beckham had a career-high five hits and the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Colorado Rockies 11-3 on Wednesday.During the game, Beckham had a little conversation with Archer, who has been in a bit of a funk.He kept telling me, `Hey man, we go as you go -- attack, attack, Archer recounted. Out of the five hits he had, that was the nicest thing he did for me, personally.Archer helped out a cameraman during his postgame interview by informing him his light suddenly went out.A win and a save. Now thats quite a day.I felt like I had good stuff, Archer said. We put some runs on the board. I was able to breathe.He also took some inspiration from rookie Blake Snell, who pitched a gem the night before. Archer (5-13) went out and tried to duplicate it.Nearly did, too.Archer allowed two runs and four hits to halt a slide in which he had lost six of seven starts.Just showed what were capable of, Archer said. Were a talented team.Evan Longoria kept up his hot hitting with two doubles as the Rays took two of three to capture their first road series since June 6-8 at Arizona. Longoria turned in a big series with two doubles, two triples, a homer and five RBI.Jorge De La Rosa (6-7) lasted only four innings and gave up nine runs, seven of them earned. He usually fares well at Coors Field -- with a better home ERA (4.27) than on the road (4.38) since joining Colorado.Everything was bad, De La Rosa said. I threw pitches where I dont have to throw them.Tampa Bay trailed 2-1 before breaking open the game with three runs in third and five more in the fourth.Former Rockies outfielder Corey Dickerson had three hits, including a triple, to increase his career average in this park to .360. He was traded to the Rays last January for reliever Jake McGee.With two doubles Wednesday, Longoria has 50 extra base hits this season. Only one other Tampa Bay player, Aubrey Huff in 2003, had that many through 94 games.Longoria is playing weell as the Aug.dddddddddddd1 deadline approaches for trades without waivers. Archer doesnt want to picture a lineup missing Longoria at third base and batting third.Since the Rays have been relevant, hes been the key guy, Archer said. That would be missed for sure. I dont think thats a realistic possibility. Thats just people floating things out there, just to have some click bait.Archer allowed two runs in the second but quickly settled into a groove. He struck out the side in the fourth and the sixth -- his last pitch a 96 mph fastball that Mark Reynolds couldnt hit.The Rockies were outscored 25-11 in a series against a last-place team.We understood that we were going to face a team that is having a tough time, outfielder Carlos Gonzalez said.
