Rafael Marquez is not losing patience for a potential fourth meeting with Israel Vazquez. He knows the fight won't happen this year, so he is targeting 2010 for a fourth showdown. Marquez had hoped to fight Vazquez this year. That won't happen. Vazquez plans to make his featherweight debut on October 10 in Los Angeles. The first fight for Vazquez since the multiple surgeries to correct a retina injury.

Marquez plans to stay in featherweight to chase the fourth fight down. He is currently training for a tuneup in Mexico. He returned in May to stop Jose Francisco Mendoza in three rounds. There is no set date for his next fight. He had a date coming up and canceled that fight when he thought a fourth meeting with Vazquez might happen in the fall.
