Juanma shows respect to a legend but juanma will have a better career then rafa he has better skills and is ready to be on the next level rafa is a great warrior but he will get beat up badly i dont want him to retire though i would love to see him fight caba or chris john

Will be war

I like Juanma. I think he has mad skills, good speed and power. It will definitely be a slugfest. Aztec Warrior vs Taino Warrior. Gotta love it. But I think Rafita's experience will prevail and he will drop Juanma like a hot potato in the 10th.

Because of the styles of both fighters this should be a great fight while it last.

As a PuertoRican I want my boy to win but I truely disagree with those that say this will be a easy fight for Juanma and that Marguez is old and has nothing left in the tank.

True that Marquez has great wars in his resume but he has had plenty of time to recover from those battles. True that not everything can be recovered from the Battles that Marquez has had but during the past years Marquez has not punished his body much either lately.
I like Marquez and his counterpunching skills will play a good factor as well as his hability to take punches although is yet to be seen if he can take Juanma's power which might determine the outcome of the fight.

Juanma on the other hand will come in great condition, his power will be there but what he will have to show is more boxing skills on the ring against a guy like Marquez and that's where Juanma has shown some flaws over the years.

This is a great fight to help Juanma show what is he capable of in these divisions and what can we expect in the future as I beleive that besides Gamboa and Caballero, this Marquez fight is probably the most dangerous for Juanma available in this division even including Chris and others. That's how much respect I have for Marquez. and how good I still beleive he is.

This should be another PR vs Mexico war, Another great fight and an action pack war.

you don't really recover from those kind of battles,top that on his age,nobody really recovers,this is a hard sport,he's been in it for 15 years,thats a lot of wear and tear

better skills? funny,the only thing he has is speed,thats it,rafa is a good counterpuncher,excellent skills,now as he has aged,he has slowed down and seems like his skills arent what they once were,i think it's because he's slower at these weights and he's been doing this for a long time already,i think his body can only take so much

Dude all these idiots rooting for Rafa wouldnt dare bet any real money on him, he is a massive underdog, yet they think he is a Legend LOL his bother is a legend but rafa isn't. His biggest fight, was against Vasquez, and now he is disabled after those fights from his own fans, Juanma is gonna retire him.

Gamboa, and Chirs John are better fighters than Rafa, and those fights are hugger than this one. Iam not sweating Rafa, I know this fight does not go beyound the 6th, and people who outragously root for Marquez, so meny of them, is only because he is Marquezs bother.

Than how did he beat Vasquez? His biggest fight to date? His prime was against bums, let me quess

I understand you point and i did mentioned that you do not fully recover but consider this.
In 15 years he has 44 fight and the avg of rounds for fight is 4.43 rounds (194rounds fought / 44 fights).
This is not bad although Yes the type of Battles like he had agains Vazquez will have a wear and tear, but i just do nmot consider Marquez a "Done" boxer like others.

Marquez is a good fighter, he's no Legend, nor is he great and tomorrow he will be a punching bag. JuanMa is gonna do this guy a favor by retiring him.
