Marquez: "Joel Casamayor Can't Avoid The KnockOut"

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Juan Manuel Marquez (48-4-1, 35 KOs) is training hard every weekday in Mexico City at the Romanza Gym, preparing for his lightweight debut against Joel Casamayor (36-3-1, 22 KOs) on September 13 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Marquez knows the fight will be tough, but he doesn't think Casamayor can be elusive enough to escape a knockout loss. [details]

Man I'm all about a Marquez win but that's a pretty bold statement from him. I don't think he'll be able to knock him out. Who knows though? Maybe Katsidis softened that chin up a little for Juan.

That indeed is a very bold statement coming from a fighter moving up to a weight class with ovbiously bigger fighters. Hopefully, he will bring this mentality into the ring and prevent this from being the stylistically boring match this might end up to be. A fight such as that on PPV will damage the sport. But if at least Marquez comes to fight, it should be entertaining.

Also, Katsidis showed that Casa is vulnerable to the body as the shot that took him down was on the right side of the rib cage I believe. Marquez's body work is VERY underrated so this could be interesting.

Agreed, but lucky for us Marquez always comes to fight. He may take his time and box but without fail he usually gets anxious and charges in.
