Juan Maricon Lopez

Am I the only one that sees that Rafa has no chance in this fight? I just think he's had too many wars, is past his prime and is too easy to hit. Juanma is too fast, too good a boxer and I think Rafa is tailor made for him.

Just my opinion...

**** opinion. Its the opposite. Marquez is a nightmare for him with his style and perfect right hands.

Juanmaricon is about to be exposed by a 35 year old legend.

He's dead man walking.

And check your glasses, Marquez doesn't get hit that much at all.

I see this a very even fight that could go either way. If rafa sticks to his skills and dont try to brawl like he did with izzy i think he could pull off a UD

I have to question your boxing knowledge if you feel that Juan Ma is a better boxer than Rafa and that Rafa is tailor made for him.

The only advantage Lopez has over Rafa is natural size and youth. Which I still expect Rafa to overcome with his much superior skills.

When juanma wins , the name on the resume looks great cuz it's rafa , but in actuallity it's against an old warrior even though with lot of heart along with his experience will make it fairly competitive. I hope that mares/perez 2 can be on the co feature

At last many of the matchups seem to be coming together. Lets hope it doesn't just seem that way.

Juanma fighting a former past his prime Flyweight ? Damn this kid has no balls or shame

[Concussive]

After analyzing this fight in my head, I think Rafa is too much warrior and will get knocked out. I like his skills, but I don't like his mentality. It makes for great t.v., but against a younger, faster, perhaps more dynamic puncher it = a loss. I'm hoping the old lion beats the young stud, but I don't really see it unless Rafa fights as Manny Stewart says, the perfect fight. Tight defense, and ridiculous good countering (for some reason JuanMa is wide open for hooks, he's lucky Penalosa didn't have good power) is the gameplan, and I don't think he can cut it for 12 rounds. But again, if the fight happens, I'm pulling for Rafa!
