Marquez-Judah in Play For July 14th at Cowboys Stadium - Boxing News

By Rick Reeno

According to sources on both sides, there are ongoing negotiations between Top Rank and Main Events to finalize a junior welterweight fight between Juan Manuel Marquez (54-6-1, 39KOs) and Zab Judah (42-7, 29KOs) for July 14th at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Marquez holds the WBO's interim-title.

Earlier today, Judah was present in the press room at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and appears to be confident that a deal will be closed for a fight with Marquez.

Judah would return from a one-sided ninth round TKO win over previously undefeated Vernon Paris in March, while Marquez won a twelve round unanimous decision over Sergey Fedchenko on April 14th in Mexico.

This is still a great fight, Judah's style should be a real problem for Marquez and I can't quite be confident in picking him. Also, is Marquez really enough of a name to sell out Cowboy stadium? It's not exactly a marquee fight on paper anymore, surprising they want it there imo.

Style might be an issue but marquez is mentally to tough for judah and will have him wilting late

[Andre]

Decent enough match up, maybe a good fight.

Decent enough match up, maybe a good fight.

I agree. It will be the final nail in Judah's coffin IMO.

I agree Miles Judahs last stand.

[Galaxy]

This should be fun!

[Abelardus]

Sounds like a good fight

I think this fight will be alot like JMM vs Casamayor, but does Judah really deserve this fight ? again it's get tiring hearing about undeserving opponents, i mean JMM lost a highly controversial decision to P4P number 1 fighter, a fight i think he won 7-4-1. What has Judah done in recent times ?

There's a huge Mexican fan base in Texas, so i'm sure JMM - Zab would do well enough if Jerry Jones/Arum could put together a decent undercard to go with it. I can't however imagine it doing well on PPV or selling out Cowboys Stadium. I mean JMM and Zab Judah? Who besides a Mex gives a fuck about watching that fight.

Lost a bunch of times, Zab doesn't deserve another shot a a big name, I hope this fight doesn't get made. Jerry Jones must be hard up for generating revenue and/or activities to fill up an idle Cowboy Stadium.

Im not up to date on my boxing recently, but wasn't Rios/Marquez supposed to be made ? i know Rios got a total gift vs Abril so maybe now its lost some of the hype ? but i'd rather see Rios/Marquez than Judah/Marquez.

And isn't it funny that Breidis Prescott beat Richard Abril legitmately, yet Brandon Rios probably lost 8 or 9 rounds vs Abril. Boxing is a funny old game sometimes.

[p4pking]

Brandon Rios is shit, Marquez would have much less trouble with him than Judah imo and it wouldn't be a clash of styles there. I agree Judah hasn't done anything to deserve this, but he has a great chance to at least make it a fun fight.

[Manos de Piedra]

Judah will put up a fight for about 6rounds then Marquez lays a beating on him from there on but it's an interesting match up. I think Judah is more difficult fight for Marquez than Rios.

[DavilaJones]

If i could put Judahs physical talents into someone with Joe Frazier's guts, I would have given the world the next sugar ray. Judah just angers me.
