Everything I have heard is to the contrary. Why do you think otherwise, i'd be interested to hear. Also, him getting his hands taped in the gym means **** all. Until there's an announcement or a serios leak printed by a serious source we know nothing.
Just going off of the R.Marquez post fight stuff... Izzy's name came up as usual, defo nothing concrete but IF he does continue. (More than likely this fight happens)
All parties involved want that fight. Unless something stupid happens, Izzy-Rafa IV should happen at 126 in November. Izzy called out Rafa. Rafa called out Izzy. Showtime called out both of em. And both of em called out Juanma if they can't make a fourth fight amongst themselves.
Vasquez is on the record as having stated that "Marquez and I are using each other up for to little money". I think the fight is far from automatic.
Vazquez has already said he wants to go up to 126, because of the level of competition. . . I think he even said its only fair to his body to not put so much strain on it to make 122 anymore lol. JuanMa needs to clean up 122 then go up to 126 for a MEGAfight with Vazquez. JuanMa by ko 6th Round =p
What better way to cash out than to put 4 on PPV? Fans already know they'll be getting their money's worth, both guys would make significantly more than they would vs Lopez or a regular network fight...I'm usually not one to promote PPV, but it makes perfect sense in this case.
Izzy is a class act and a true warrior. I wish him well in the future. F he retires I wouldnt be upset. He gave us a great trilogy with Rafa. Just stay away from Juanma at this point.
I want to see how he performs in a tuneup. Three wars like that with both men taking brutal punishment, its highly possible they will not be the same after
