JuanMa is going to decimate Rafael Marquez

November 6
At Las Vegas (Showtime): Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Rafael Marquez, 12 rounds, for Lopez's WBO featherweight title; Super Six World Boxing Classic, Group Stage 3, Glen Johnson vs. Allan Green, 12 rounds

I hope you are wrong, but I'm rather worried that you are correct sir.

Marquez could be rather faded. we have no idea if that is the case because he hasn't really faced anyone for years except for Vazquez (who was definitely done by the 4th fight, and may have been fading big time by the 3rd fight). Its possible both of them were rather faded by the time the 3rd clash occurred.

He is younger and bigger. That isn't a good recipe for a vet like Marquez.

Any result OTHER than that would be shocking.

I am pulling for the old guy. He earned my lifelong support with his tremendous sacrifice in training and the ring.

I agree but I like both of these guys so I think I will just sit back and enjoy this one without rooting for anyone.

i honestly hope marquez has something left. i really don't want to see juanma just go in a bulldoze him. i want to see juanma being patient and smart but also tested. i want this fight to warm him up for the gamboa match(not that im counting marquez out but......buahhh I AM COUNTING MARQUEZ OUT )

on saturday, you will all see that rafa isnt as faded as you think and that juanma will get KO'd.

If a 35 year old who has been through absolute wars and fighting two divisions above his best can beat one of the most tested under 30's in the sport?

I weep for my sport's future.

unless rafa has one more good fight left in him and turns back time for this one fight.

raffy does well for 4 rounds and hes got to do it big by then...after that he gets destroyed in 7.
