OK, you think is silly? 50K if JUanma lands a clean solid right hook Rafa goes down.

Juanma aint in his prime yet.

I dont know if I even have 50K, i never bet. Plus i htink Juanma is going to win the fight, so why in the hell would i bet against him.
And Juanma IS in his prime, stop lining up excuses if he loses.

Dude, you're talking to a Puerto Rican here... come on. How biased can this phuckin moron be?

I'd save my energy if I were you. Peace

If Marquez was in his prime... lol. This fight wouldn't be happening!

I dont let race or nationality get in the way of my boxing discussion. My fav fighter is Cotto, so i dont see why I would have anything against Ricans.

we shall see...i think the wily vet still has something left in him...might be enough to beat JuanMa

I think Juanma wins this fight. I favor him to win.

However, Rafa has power and Juanma is just vulnerable enough to make it interesting.

Rafa's shot and he may get killed. I don't even like Juanma that much, but don't let the Vazquez KO fool you. Vazquez should have retired after their 3rd fight.

Rafa is not shot.

Izzy shot, Rafa is not.

Juanma should still and IMO will win though.

A prime R. Marquez would easily accomplish that, but this is a stepping stone fight to pad Juanmas already heavily padded record.

At 122 a prime Rafa could do it, at 125 prime or not I can't say he would be able to.

Juanam is a pretty damn good fighter himself.

Come on Jro, Rafa not shot? You're basing it off a victory over a shot to sh-t Izzy that was 3 rounds? Let's not forget that Rafa has been through surgery already and has even switched trainers. Rafa is not 100% This fight is bullsh-t. Juan ma just wants a big name in his resume, Too bad Rafa in his prime was not even in this weight class and was over countless wars ago.

Who's the favorite in this?

I have a feeling Rafa can take a UD/SD.

[LilGizmo562]

If he boxes intelligently and lets the KO come, it is possible, he is passed it, anyone who says otherwise is just trying to build up Juanma if he wins (he should) hopefully Rafa pulls the upset.

He is not shot, and not just basing it off the Izzy fight either. I saw his fight at 126 prior to Izzy at 126 against a fighter I think his name was Mendoza. Granted Mendoza is not a good fighter. Rafa looked a little rusty in that fight but showed some sharp punching as well. I didn't see any evidence of being shot. And, against Izzy he looked sharp with beautiful technique. I did not see any evidence of being shot. What evidence did you see?

He is not shot, Izzy is shot. That is how a shot fighter looks. Rafa is not shot. Now Rafa is not in his prime either. Rafa is at the tail end of his career but he is not shot.

Again I have never seen Rafa and say wow this guy is absolutely done. NEVER. He has always showed sharpness and good technique. Everybody just assumed he is shot cuz of the wars with Izzy. But, I don't see maybe you can explain it to me. I agree he is not in his prime and at the tail end of his career but that does not equal shot.
