I think Marquez still has one great fight left in him and imo he's a better fighter then Lopez I actually think he will KO Lopez either way hopefully it will be a great fight this year needs one.
I think JML may take the lead then get reckless & ko'd. What's more likely is JML by stoppage or ko. He has better technique then I think he does but can be drawn into a war but RM is war-happy too. I'll be rooting for Rafael to pull the upset though I'm curious what the odds will be. I'll find out Saturday I hope. I'll study more JML to really gain an advantage in deciding a prediction. Wouldn't be surprised to see a FOTY candidate as both guys are exciting.
As much as I like Rafa and want him to win this fight, I just dont think he has enough left IMO to keep up with JML...Lopez will probably wear him down and KO towards the tale end of the fight (guessing around 8-10) If this fight happened some years ago and before Rafa was in that amazing war with Izzy...I think he would be too much for Lopez. My prediction...Juanma TKO in 9
I'm really considering betting on Rafa. His odds are splendid. I just don't have a leg to stand on at the moment.
i keep saying this fight is gona be easier than what most people think, like watching again Lopez- Ponce de leon
people are underestimating Marquez. I'm 40 years old and I'm still quick and could run 4 miles a day and I smoke cigarettes. I'm rooting for juanma though, but I don't underestimate marquez.
You've probabily never taken so much as a slap on the chops. Let alone 4 wars with one Izzy Vasquez which would put 10 years on you. :good
Juanma is going to stop him early and dramatically. I'm picking 4th round brutality, 5th round stoppage.
Unfortunate for me I feel the need to rewatch Vasquez-Marquez 4 to get a better prediction for the fight. TBH, I love RM but cannot see any other option than a JML tko. If he wins especially in a big way I'll be shocked.
