Living Legend Marquez VS The Great Diego at 135

And thats a pretty good chance because Marquez does get hit alot and he'll def feel Chico's power sometime during the fight and when that happens Marquez either gets rocked or goes down. But as always he'l get up and go back to business. Marquez loves to brawl and I find it hard he wont fall into one vs Chico.

All that being said Marquez either wins a close but clear UD or late TKO after tocuhing the canvas at least once and have a few shakey moments along the way.

 

Marquez fights againts an older Casamayor and Diaz were competitive. I'd expect this fight to be aswell. With Marquez pulling away in the end.

 

Marquez by stoppage, round 10

 

Were you saying the same ahead of Marquez/Diaz I?

 

Corrales was liable to get clowned by a fighter completely unwilling to exchange with him, and who had the speed of hand and foot to make that possible, but guys like Marquez and Casamayor are fighters. Sure, the Cuban was known to be a great counter-puncher, but if he got hit his instinct was to throw back, just as with Marquez, so one bad round could turn the whole game plan on its head. Marquez can get hit and hurt in this fight, but I'd probably favor him to pull it out. As Boxed Ears said though, Lightweight really isn't Marquez's best weight, not by any stretch.

 

Spot on post i totally with everythig you said:good

 

All this on paper stuff and stylistic comparisons is all well and good but this is one of those ones you would just have to see.

JMM is pretty hittable at the weight and hasnt faced a puncher like Corrales perhaps ever but especially not at 135. Corrales holds physical advantages over JMM that could very well upset him and take his inch perfect game some time to adjust.

Yes on paper I see Marquez as the better fighter and winning far more often than not but Chico quite often threw a spanner in the works and I think he thoroughly deserves to be considered a live underdawg.

 

:good Inferior offensive fighters have given Marquez problems in the past.

 

Yes but your forgetting Corrales is an inferior defensive fighter and Corrales weakness far outweigh his strengths in this matchup.

I think Corrales only shot here is a hail mary(which is a possibility). But everytime he opens up hes gonna get the worst of it. After awhile Corrales will be a punching bag, that is why i like Marquez mid to late stoppage.

 

:twisted:**** guys.......I just wrote a couple of paragraphs on the differences between the counterpunching style of JMM and Casamayor and why Marquez would be much more difficult for Corrales than Casa......

.....dammit, I inadvertantly pressed a key on my keyboard that took me to my previous page, and gone was my post.atsch


If I'm up to it, I'll rewrite it and post it up tommorow.

 

I'm not forgetting anything, Anarci.

Juan Manuel Marquez hasn't dominated a Lightweight since first campaigning at 135lbs. An old, rusty Joel Casamayor gave him problems before the stoppage, and Diaz gave him all hell and actually hurt Marquez with a sweeping left hook the first time they fought. I only had Marquez winning by a two point margin in their return bout, even though the winner was fairly clear. This is to say that Marquez has been hit, hurt, and had plenty of trouble with lesser fighters than Corrales who was tall, rangy, and hit like a fork lift truck at 135lbs. Marquez won't emerge unscathed no matter what the result.

 

Well, whilst you're here, write us a few paragraphs as to why Juan Diaz can bully Marquez around the ring for the best part of 6 rounds but Corrales is reduced to just a punchers chance. :good
