Marriga was doing well in that fight right up until he got dropped. He showed he can fight at the same pace as Valdez and was durable but because he is coming off a loss I don't think Loma is going to get much credit for this win.
He won't but it's because Marriaga doesn't have a good win and moving up in weight. It's not because he is coming off a loss, that loss is by far the highlight of his career. There is no reason to mark Marriaga down for that, in fact quite the opposite.
