Comments Thread For: Rafael Marquez Will Face Kenichi Yamaguchi on May 5th

[nycsmooth]

a weak card , especially w/Ayala vs Nava...I like RM but he's past his prime...

This is one fighter I would like to see raise to the top again. Win at least one more title

At least he is not being used as a stepping stone for Donaire; though it could be worse, he could be a stepping stone for Mares while being on the receiving end of countless low-blows. Great warriors like R. Márquez should walk way with dignity when they slow down. It's a shame to see them become promoters' tools to inflate other fighters' records.

There are a lot of fights scheduled for that date. I wish they would be more spread out

Jackie "Aztec Princess" Nava will headline the show with a defense of her WBA super bantamweight crown against Colombian fighter Diana Ayala.
