The ricans only have 1 good fighter left and the walls are closing in. Gamboa wants a piece of him, now donaire. Juanma is running out of 38 year old mexican part timers to bully, and sooner or later he's gonna have to "step up to the plate".
The guy that almost got Ko'ed by a one handed, smaller fighter (RMARQUEZ)? Yeah DOnaire, would take him out.
marquez was smaller, older, fighting with a broken arm...and even STILL almost TKO'd lopez.....so how is that dissing marquez?? :huh
I'd say the Marquez he fought was still an excellent fighter. I'd give Rafa a decent shot at beating Gamboa or possibly Donaire.
I agree, he immpresses me. He hasnt got much publicity but I think this year he will make waves. Seriously underestimated fighter and he has been looking better each time out. Arce will be a tough test but I favor Vasquez.
the marquez that he fought was indeed still an excellent fighter... but i'm sure no one would disagree that he was not the same fighter that fought vasquez a few years ago....i don't think marquez could beat gamboa or donaire right now but that's just my opinion
He deserves more attention. For all the **** the ''Jr's'' in this sport get, here's a guy that isn't getting by on his dad's name, and actually engaging in dangerous fights, yet nobody pays him any notice. The Arce fight will gain him more exposure, but it'll be an easy fight for WV2, Arce is very much past it, he's older, smaller and on the way down. Vazquez is younger, bigger and continuing to solidify his place as one of the best super-bantams in the world.
I got WVII by stoppage. He just got too much firepower for Arce at this point. He got the potential to be star IMO.
