By Mark Vester

WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez is telling everyone that his upcoming fight with Rafael Marquez is a "can't miss" event. They collide on November 6 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Juanma arrived in Las Vegas on Sunday night. He is going to finish up the final stage of his training and maintain weight.

“You’re definitely going to see a war. We’re both going to exchange a lot of punches. I hope nobody misses this fight because it’s going to be a candidate for fight of the year," Juanma said.

Marquez, a multi-division champion and veteran of four fights with Israel Vazquez, sees the fight with Juanma as the most important battle of his career.

“It’s probably the most important fight of my career. I have not fought many Puerto Rican fighters at his level," Marquez said.
