Juan Manuel Lopez vs Rafa Marquez* Fight of the Year?

He got hit once properly, Losfer. And he decimated Concepcion in the next round. That doesn't tell us anything other than he stood in front of a puncher a little too long. After that, I don't recall him getting clipped by anything.

He DOES have defensive liabilities, but he's also offensively awesome which makes it hard for most opponents to fight back. I mean, he's been knocked down once in his career against a good puncher. His future foe, Gamboa's, been down more often to lesser fighters than Concepcion. It's just a bit of perspective.

Marquez might win if Lopez opens himself up for too long and he lands. But that's a big if considering how chinny Marquez is himself and how his own defence has deteriorated - and he's never been hard to find.

 

Not happened yet how could it be fight of the year?

 

That's why there's a question mark in the title, I guess. Will it be?

 

Rafael Marquez will win by KO lopez is overrated and did you see how badly buzzed he was against Concepcion,
Celestino Caballero is the main man of that division he'd do a job on all of them thats why no 1 wants a part of him,gamboa could have fought him in september but instead he fights a complete unknown bum with 10 losses to his name that tells you how avoided he is.

 

Would love it, love it (Kevin Keegan) if Marquez knocked Junama out. Obviously id rather it be a FOTY first. However I reckon Juanma by TKO in the 6th.

 

Decent power, yes, but Juanma's offensive output is average.
