What will Marquez do now?

[fist-of-fury]

What did u say fight of the year candidate? JMM vs. Salido was the boring fight i've seen since JMM after Pac. Maybe, Pac and JMM is the fight of the year.

JMM-Salido is Fight Of The Year...WORST Fight Of The Year, that is...

marquez is getting ready to fight israel vazquez i think

[phallus]

he'll prolly cry a lil
then stop
then cry some more
and then stop
and then cry a whole lot more

he just let the biggest fight of his career slip away

maybe JMM thinks he should let Morales and Pac fight it out and try and get the winner, or maybe he thinks he should fight MAB instead, either one is a great option

Can JMMarquez fight Barrera @130 and still keep his featherweight belts? If so, then this is THE best option. Fighting one of his mandatories instead won't be so attractive and he can't afford to wait to fight the winner of Pac-El Terrible.

A unification bout with either Chi or Harrison is another option. This is good for the boxing fans.

JMM is just not worthy to any of the three big boxing stars. let's all note that JMM havent proven anything yet. the best thing he ever had in the fight of his life is a draw to a half disabled Pacman. before he gets a match with the two great mexican fighters (MAB/EM), he should first get through against the Pacman. the way i see it, JMM could beat MAB or EM easier than Pac. but since JMM knows he will lose to Pacman, if that happens he may no longer have a shot with the two mexicans coz everybody would think he's just not worthy. JMM doesnt deserve the $1.5M. he was already lucky he was offered $750K.

Are you sure? I read somewhere (not sure if it's at the maxboxing board, I'll check that out again) that Magnifico is preparing against Ponce de Leon.

That's BS. JMM is a double champion and perhaps the best technical fighter at 126~130. If that's not worth enough, then I don't know what is. A fight with Barrera never happened all these years, is he avoiding him? Morales may have an excuse as they both are Top Rank fighters. Boxing politics for you.

You're right bandito. JMMarquez will be fighting Israel Vasquez

Here's the article from Box-Latino

POR FIRMARSE MARQUEZ CONTRA VAZQUEZ

Salvador Martínez

El púgil Juan Manuel Márquez, campeón mundial pluma FIB y AMB, inició negociaciones para enfrentarse al también mexicano Israel Vázquez, monarca mundial supergallo, el 26 de febrero en Las Vegas, EU.

El manejador Nacho Beristáin regresó de Estados Unidos, donde negoció acción para sus peleadores, y dejó en marcha las pláticas para el duelo Márquez-Vázquez.

Nacho dijo que en la Unión Americana se reunió con el promotor Fernando Beltrán, y quedaron de volverse a ver este fin de semana en la capital mexicana.

Beristáin explicó que hay cosas que deben de afinarse para este combate, como es el peso de la contienda, ya que el contrato que le mostraron al manejador señala que sería en un limite de 128 libras, y Márquez pidió que sea en un tope de 126, y exponiendo sus coronas.

De ser en 128, la pelea sería fuera de campeonato, pero a Juan Manuel no le agrada combatir en ese peso y cree que esos detalles se podrán solucionar
