R. Marquez Vs Lopez re-scheduled for November 6th

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.

Good fight and ultimate crossroads. 5 or 6 rounds over last 2 yrs does Marquez no favors but think he's being a bit under sold. Lopez is not exactly hard to find with punches himself when he over sells to land and Marquez is smart and I think still capable enough to navigate his early explosions if he keeps smart. He's a accurate puncher and Lopez has holes.

Marquez wasn't about to let Lopez fight somebody else. He pretty much forced his hand by saying he'll continue training and all he needed it was about a month. Lopez was extremely lucky his knock down at the hands of crap fighter Concepion came at the end of the round. He'll find out Marquez ain't Concepcion. Marquez takes him out in 4
