Wow that's really good news, I was worried the fight may never happen when all I heard was Marquez is injured.. I didn't realize that it didn't occur in training, I just assumed it was more serious and at his age figured the fight coming off was unlikely. It's a fantastic matchup though, really tough to pick a winner. It's easy to side with Lopez on account of him being so much fresher, but I still think Marquez has enough to hang in there and drown him late on, he's a hell of a lot more dangerous than roger mtagwa.
Cracking stuff, should be a quality matchup. Glad it was only postponed and not put off completely.
Marquez is past it, and Lopez with mow through him like he has through so many others. I just see this as a stylistic nightmare for a guy who gets hit flush that easily (Marquez). It could be a little hard to gauge since Marquez has been fighting one guy for 2 years, but I think Lopez is too quick to fall into Marquez' traps. Have to admit Lopez ring intelligence has gone up a lot, too.
Lopez is probably looking past this fight as much as I am. I think a unification is in order with Chris John after this. That could be a really good fight.

Juanma by KO in 7th. His unnatural southpaw stance will give Rafa some problems.
i think rafael marquez has just a puncher's chance in this one. i see this as a big mismatch! he's way past his prime but can still punch which will give him a slim chance. juanma is just too big, too young, too fast and too fresh. juanma by early KO.
