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 thereQuote:

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.Quote:

that's true but you could still see that he has a bit left, even it it's not up to a young guy like Lopez's levelQuote:

That wouldn't surprise me either really, I just think that Rafa is an unknown quantity at this point in regards to how worn down he is. Nothing that happened in this fight would really surprise me, it's that kind of situation. Either guy could win.Quote:

I was gonna ask why he's not fighting Gamboa, but I looked on Boxrec and it shows him fighting Orlando Salido. Looking at featherwieght division, theres soo many great fights to be made. Theres alot of solid veterans that are there for the taking for these up and comers like Gamboa, Mickey Garcia, JC Burgos.
If he thinks he was was in a tough one with Mtagwa, just wait til RM gets in there. Gonna be a KO for Marquez IMO.Quote:

Exactly what Im thinking bud.I'll take Marquez at war torn best over a still green Lopez.I think hes too deep for Lopez.Quote:

So I'll just say that Rafeal Marquez never got a chance to show his pluck in that last fight with Vasquez. Maybe Marquez is exhausted by mid fight and Lopez flurries his way to a nice UD.
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.Quote:

Gamboa fighting another scrub. Still waiting on him to fight some body who can at least be competitive.Quote:
