Tony Marino (May 18, 1910 – February 1, 1937) was an American boxer who became the World Bantamweight Champion on June 29, 1936 when he defeated Baltasar Sangchili in a fourteenth-round knockout in New York. Marino had the famous trainer Ray Arcel and managers Reed Brown and Bill Newman. He died on February 1, 1937 of injuries he received from his bout with boxer Carlos Quintana, two days earlier in Brooklyn. On February 3, 1937, the New York State Athletic Commission, citing Marino's death, created the three-knockdown rule, which is now universal in the sport of boxing.
