Rafale Marquez vs. JM Lopez in September

[MMASUX]

If JM Lopez wins his fight against Bernabe Concepcion next month the fight will take place September 18. Should be a good one, hope it happens.

Agree should be a cracker of a bout....I have to pick RM in this one unless JuanMa catches him with a really big shot

gotta give both guys huge credit if they go through with it

Great fight, and a hard one to call IMO. It all depends on how much Rafa has left after the fights with Vazquez. If he's close to 100%, he should beat Lopez, but if not he might be in some trouble. Rafa can be hurt and Lopez has some power, so this is a very intriguing fight.

Marquez looked good last time out, i wouldn't say 100% but IMO he's still able to take on a couple of the top guys out there

Nice,nice,NICE...these are what we need to go for as "other" stars bicker and play word games with one another rather then fighting.Has crossroads fight all over it at first glance.

Have to go with Rafa keeping it smart and gradually widening the calibur gap.He's been through the shredder but think he still has enough.

He was fighting a shell last time out though, I think Lopez is a much bigger threat than a badly faded Vazquez. This fight will tell us more about Rafa than the last one.

I read it on ESPN, and both Shaw and Arum said it's going to happen as long as Lopez wins next month. MGM grand Las Vegas, Mexican Independence day, should be great. I hope all goes through as well.

love both of these warriors and am glad they're going to fight. rafael marquez, although he did destroy a shot israel vazquez still gets hit too much and his chin is suspect. when juanma beat steven luevano, i saw that he was very strong at featherweight. although i think marquez always has a chance with his punching power, the same can be said about juanma, therefore, i've gotta think juanma wins by KO. i think he's just too young, too big and too fresh for an old, beaten down, marquez.
