Judging from that fight, when juanma fights someone with speed, power and a great chin, he will end up getting ktfo.
Speed, Power, and a great chin. You mean a great fighter? :D why not put robot arms, or wings to fly around the ring.
I bet on Lopez but was actually rooting for Rafael to pull it through.
My stiff neck pain hasn't subsided yet due to this fight, and I'm going to watch it again tonight at our local channel.
Kudos to both warriors!
the "quittage" and point deduction were kinda anti climatic but the rest of the fight was exciting as hell. it's one of those "wtf it's round 6 already?!" bouts.
I do not have showtime and watched the HBO Boxing tonight how good was Lopez vs. Marquez? and is Juan Manuel Lopez the real deal?
It was a great fight.... Marquez fought valiantly and Lopez was great too.
Juan Manual Lopez is the real deal. Dont listen to a few disgruntled Mexicans who are so caught up in discrediting Juan Ma that they down even Marquez.
Its ugly when you cut off your nose to spite your face.
Great fight. Just watched it again and I must say, Lopez wasn't as badly hurt as I initially thought. The left hook rocked him but he quickly regained his composure and ate the follow-up shots well. A complete performance and, even against an aging great, very impressive.

A word of advice,if you like boxing,showtime always puts on better matchups!!HBO just has all the superstars!!Juanma-Marquez was 1st rate action!!Really good throwdown!!
It was very exciting. But Juanma is a bit like Cotto and Gamboa. You know he's beatable and a good left hooker could drop him all day but he's very powerful and exciting.
maybe just maybe he was getting hit with the left hook cause he was worried about the right
great fight however juanma was imposing his will the last 2 rounds

Type of fight you can watch more than once. Most people expected it to be good and it was while it lasted.
You could the hear the crowd really getting into it.
Another great night of Mexico vs. Puerto Rico. I wish Rafa would have won, but it was still an enjoyable night... except for all the stupid ignornant sh*t being posted that we all knew would happen no matter who won.
BEST POST I've seen!
Yes, definitely a fight of the year contender. Marquez is a warrior, we already knew that, and Lopez is exciting even at the highest level of competition. His offense is top notch and his chin is good enough that he can rally and fight back after he got rocked due to his wild punches. The same goes for Gamboa, so those two will give us some really exciting fights along the line. An encounter in June would be huge!
It was an incredible fight.
FOTY type stuff up until the stoppage.
Definitely. The stoppage was out of no where, and was the only thing maybe keeping this from being the no brainer FOTY.
