    Exactly. Rafa looks tall for the weight class and i know Izzy is about 5'5" himself. rafa was much taller than him in their fights.

    where are you coming up with June 4? Marquez is rumored to take a tune up that night under Chavez-Zbik but there's no chance it would be Marquez-Gamboa that day. The fall would be more likely.

    This.

    No chance of Rafa-Gamboa on June 4th but the talk is Gamboa has a HBO date in August so maybe then? :think

    Gamboa will blitz him. Rafa is too small for the weight-class, and obviously past it. As a Rafael Marquez fan I would not want a fight like this. He was getting pasted by Lopez... just imagine what Gamboa would do to Marquez. And I don't think Gamboa's chin is that vulnerable, it's his balance and aggressiveness that gets him in trouble.

    I like Marquez, but technically, Gamboa should win the fight. Don't be suprised though if Marquez caught him with something big coming in. If Marquez was fresher, I'd pick him clearly over Gamboa.

    This fight is only a rumor, Márquez fights Oliver on June 4th. Gamboa should find better opponents anyway, Márquez is past it.

    I hope so. I feel Rafael Marquez quit against JuanMa. He should have received the same hate as Ortiz. Would like to see Gamboa KO Rafael.

    Didn't Rafa require surgery on his shoulder after the JuanMa fight? I think his heart has been proven over the years.

    It's interesting that Chris John - Ponce de Leon is being rumoured for the undercard of the next Morales fight. Arum and Top Rank have been claiming he isn't interested in fighting outside Indonesia again ...

    Apparently they want JuanMa to take the Salido re-match then move uo to 130. If he fights before Salido II, it'll be a tune-up.
