Juan Manuel Marquez vs Joel Casamayor ICB's RBR

[Violent Demise]

Two of my favorite fighters. I feel Marquez has gone up one division to many. Casamayor by UD. A stoppage wouldn't surprise me

[SigmaMu]

This is a fight in which I want both fighters to do well

All I can do is sit back and relax and enjoy the fire works. I know this is going to be a very good scrap. I can just feel it.

I was thinking along the same lines. I always wonder what Casa will show up, but he should be motivated for this one. They are both at the age and stages of their career where they can go downhill quickly. Since JMM is moving up, it is definitely going to be harder on him IMO and Casa will be very motivated.

I'll go with Casamayor tko against who I want to win.

I think Marquez takes a comfortable decision. Casamayor has less in the tank, he wont be getting off as quickly as he'll need to avoid being countered and outhustled is my take. It should be a great shoot out early to mid rounds but I think Marquez can keep up a much higher pace and stay sharp all 12 rounds. Casamayor will definetly be dangerous in this one though, he could hurt Marquez at any point. I don't see Marquez really hurting him with anything either, he'll need to fight very smart.

[OumaFan]

Not saying this will be dull but I wouldn't expect a fast paced fight. Marquez really doesn't like going after people, both counterpunchers, they're both a bit old, etc.

Marquez should have too much at this point.

Casamayor's stamina at this stage of his career is not that good anymore but he will not be likely at disadvantage on this factor since JMM is not a pressure fighter... Casa will have a lot of breathing room...

And if JMM will try to add some pressure, Casa will probably land a good counterpunch... It's an area where Casa is very good at...

you really seem to have something against JMM,

Marquez is also a very good counter puncher, however my only worry is with the potential increase in power from 130 to 135 marquez may get caught cold early on in the fight like against pacquiao first time round and a quick Kd or two could cost him the fight like it did in both pacquiao fights IMO, casamayor also did put katsidis down twice in the first when he was fresh at the start of the fight

although i think JMM will take a wide points victory, i feel he just needs to be careful in the first couple of rounds
