MARQUEZ VS. CUENCA (42-0-1 w/ 1 KO)

Its called a stay busy fight, and considering the fact Marquez just fought the p4p king, and ended up getting shafted by the judges, he can pretty much do whatever the **** he wants.

 

It's either this or no fight at all, so I'll take it

 

On Golpe A Golpe he said that he was looking for a fighter with very good skills to keep him sharp. With so many wins and only one knockout, this guy seems to fit the bill. He'll also have to give less financially that way I suppose.

 

IIRC, the opponent isn't final yet, and there's a pretty decent chance it will end up being Mercito Gesta (which is a much better fight).

 

If he fights three times in the calendar year of 2012, then I have ZERO problem whatsoever with the move. It will not increase or decrease his stature (unless he loses), so it is quite low risk, reasonable reward. A fan who would hold it against him clearly isn't realistic.

 

Cuenca has one of the longest unbeaten streaks in the sport...might be fun to just end that

 

tune up fight.

 

Well Peterson - Marquez was in the middle of being made til the newly crowned WBA Super Champion Amir Khan threw his toys out of the pram

Who does that leave Marquez left to fight?

Alexander - Maidana just happened

Bradley is fighting Pacquiao

Cotto is fighting Mayweather

Mosley is fighting Canelo

Morales is fighting Garcia

Alvarado, Judah and co wont go anywhere near Marquez

the only possible fight I could see being worth it would be Kotelnik or Mathysse, in fact im suprised those fights werent made

 

Yea I feel you, that's why Gesta might be more favorable from a fan point of view.

 

He's fighting this guy so he can come to knock his head off and not leave it to the hands of the judges. Plus he won't run like coward Mosley. He couldn't do that with PAC...said it but couldn't do it.
