    It's just one of those fights that you know will be a war. I'm so excited for tomorrow night.

    I think Marquez has enough left in the tank to beat and possibly stop Juanma.

    If Marquez wins, this could possible lead to another trilogy. :evilgrin2:

      Possibly, this one has FOTY written all over it, provided they can handle each others power shots.

        Juanma Lopez throws telegraphic and looping punches in my opinion, but they land with such brute force they hit their mark regardless...I think the key for Rafael is let Juanma throw first and look to counter in the first rounds and slowly become the aggressor as the fight prolongs, but he absolutely cannot be hit too much or he's going down...kind of how his brother fought Pacquiao in the second fight is the approach I feel he should take

            I disagree in what some of you guys are saying is Juanma's style.

            Has he had success early in fights? yes

            Does he swarm opponents early? NO WAY

            Sould he swarm Rafa early? YES

            I think if Juanma wants to have the best opportunities against Rafa he IS GOING TO WANT TO ATTACK HIM AND SWARM HIM EARLY.

            Both Rafa and his older brother get caught easy when they are swarmed.... You give them the distance though and they make you pay hard.

            I think if Juanma gives Rafa the distance and trys to fight him Silence Mabuza style he will find Rafa's punch more than adequate at 126.

            He is going to want to swarm him much the way Israel had some success with him that way in their fight.

                No Juanma doesn't swarm his opponents, but when forced to fight, he fights back hard. And he's proven to be extremely dangerous early in his fights. This is what Rafa must avoid; Juanma's early power shots, particularly that short right hook on the inside.

                Juanma has been successful in letting aggressive fighters come at him and catching them with inside power shots. Rafa should not exchange with this guy early; he needs to box Juanma from the start then look to hurt him later in the fight, after he's warmed up and Juanma has expended some of that youthful energy.

That's my honest opinion
                  I agree... good assessment... but Rafa has a tendency to go down like his brother. It cost his big bro fights vs Manny and it cost Rafa the 3rd fight vs Izzy. We'll see what happens tonight... I can't wait.
