Marquez: "I look forward to getting more respect."

[ProBox1]

Rafael Marquez, who defends his IBF bantamweight title against undefeated No. 1 contender Silence Mabuza in Saturday's excellent co-feature on SHOWTIME, shadow boxes during a workout Wednesday at Caesars Tahoe. In what figures to be an explosive main event Saturday on SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING (9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on west coast), exciting Jeff Lacy puts his IBF super middleweight title and unbeaten record on the line against IBF No. 5 contender Scott Pemberton.

Marquez is an exciting fighter, and I hope he gets past this fight and looks impressive.

Here's a great clip of his KO of Humberto Ruiz:



I'd like to see him move up and fight Larios at some point next year.

that uppercut was one of the sweetest punches I have ever seen landed.

any way after this I say its time for Larios like you said.

theres noone at the weight division currently so he needs to move up

Him and his brother are somthin else..

I have a couple clips of Marquez, including the one where he knocks Tim Austin through the ropes and knocks him out..I'll try to post it up, but its a quick time video..

If any one has the clips of him boxing Mark Johnson's ears off please post em!

Rafa is an awesome well rounded fighter but if he wants more respect he's got to go up in weight and find some real competion. Nobody is can beat him in his present division.

One more thing he's got to get rid of Beristain and find another manager. Beristain should only be a trainer.

i hate juan manuel, but like rafael
kinda wierd lol

[mr. bojangles]

Rafa is perhaps the hardest hitting fighter in boxing today P4P, a good all around fighter. I agree, there's no competition for him at 118, he should step up and challenge Chololo.
