I agree, it's time Rafa calls it a career. Arce rematch sounds good or what about an all Boricua show down with Rico Ramos? Island Boricua vs a West Coast Boricua.
jonathan oquendo is way better than vazquez jr. but his recent accident where his GF died might have a negative effect on him negatively.. i doubt that he is all there mentally for a world championship fight :hat
