Rafael Marquez out 6 months, hair line fracture

What an odd injury. How the heck does THAT happen.

One thing about Raffy, his self confidence never wavers does it?

Yep, as soon as JML approached him after the fight was over he was talking rematch

Even Arum had to try and slow him down with the rematch talk

Sometimes in general I find the machismo thing overdone, but Raffy has a little bit of Roberto Duran's swagger to him. He's a genuinely tough man.

now we know that his shoulder was actually bothering him and it wasnt just to get out of the fight. like i said before, i wondered why he stopped throwing that right hand. maybe he would have KO'd juanma. who knows.

marble an odd punch could of caused it or a stress fracture in a clinch etc etc...i think raffy should retire or have 1 more fight against someone outside lopez..he wont do either.that i believe.

He said his shoulder had been bothering him going into the fight and given the injury I think that's valid.

i agree. i think that he could still somewhat make some noise in the division but i dont think that his body will hold up enough to be on top again. he has a great legacy already. he has nothing left to prove.
