Marquez-Jaca to try it again!
Two-time World Champion Juan Manuel Marquez (45-3-1) will again try to defend his WBO interim featherweight title against Filipino Jimrex Jaca (26-2-1) on November 25th at the Dodge Arena in Hidalgo, TX. Marquez and Jaca were slated to fight on an October 21 pay-per-view card, but visa troubles forced Jaca to pull out just days before the bout. This time the fight is slated for HBO's late night series "Boxing After Dark" and no problems are anticipated as Jaca received his visa on October 11th and the only reason he couldn't travel to the U.S. last time was he was unable to receive the necessary government stamp due to a backup at the US embassy in Manila. That red tape is now resolved.

I'll be the first to say that eventhough that whole 'Mexican Glory' card blew up in GBP face and it should have either been reduced $$ or just called off..... IMO
GBP has managed to get JMM to fight, get more exposure and more importantly keep him busy!!!
It's just toooo bad that HBO has turned down JMCotto, Harris & ASantos as opponents....
Then who should he fight? Anyone got a fwocken clue!!
