his next defence is against against Silence Mabuza again…didnt he easily win this last fight…i personally think marquez should move up to super bantamweight or maybe even featherweight beacuase what else has he got to prove at bantamweight…i feel that marquez is in his prime and i think he should be fighting a better quality of fighters than he is doing now
I’d like to see him fight Jhonny Gonzalez…to me that is the last step before moving weight class
Raf is a quality boxer.
He’s in my P4P top 10 and yes,he will be fighting Mabuza,I read an article somewhere plus Mabuza says he is 100% ready this time and that he was not last time. To be honest,I think it will be a trickier fight this time but stil expect RM to win.
Even though silence was well beat last time, he did make a good account of himself. Rafeal is in a another class though, I’ll enjoy watching this fight at least.
thats my point why does he even bother wasting sweat on this guy he has already beaten…if i was raf i would go up to feather weight cos i do think he would do really well in this divison.
The only other decent boxer in the Bantamweight division for Rafael Marquez to challenge is Jhonny Gonzalez.
Talk about a division with a lack of depth. >:mad
Rafa Marquez is top tier, I don’t think the division really has bad depth, I think Rafa is just a cut above those guys. I think he would beat Jhonny, but it would be a rough night. If he beats Jhonny I give him respect and
call him undisputed in the division, then it is time to move up.
Yeah, you are right man. Fight Gonzalez then move up to Super Bantam.
If he moves up he has gotta fight Israel Vazquez. That would be a dream bout. 
that would be a good fight, and great way to enter the super bantam division
Excellent boxer. Don’t really see the point of a rematch seeing how I think the result would be the same, but you never know what could happen. Looking forward to him moving up a division.
looks like he is now fighting Jhonny Gonzalez at 120 lbs! after he fights Silence Mabuza

awesome, I can’t wait…
I think Jhonny causes Marquez major problems, but Rafael, does enough to take UD.
Earning both respect, and both new paths out of the division
Rafael, is about my P4P #7
That’s funny, I have Jhonny at #7, I guess we’ll see who’s got it right!!
:coolclick:
I’m glad to see that there are so many Rafa fans but I am a bit apprehensive over the Mabuza fight,the guy is dangerous and I do believe him when he says he was having problems outside the ring before their first meeting which distracted him.I think it will be tougher for RM this time!
I hope your right, silence is a breath of fresh air in terms of fighting style at that weight, there’s nothing wrong with rafael, ghonzalez etc. but mabuza brings something different to the table.
i think his days are numbered if he doesnt go up to 122
or even if he goes there
cuz i saw someone whom i think will
be a future champ…
hes name is rey ‘boom-boom’ bautista, i watched him on the undercard
of the ODH-mayorga bout
and i thought he was awesome…
he is a flipino and hes just a 19 year old yet he is flawless
20-0-15KOs
defense
power
speed
composure
young
perfect 8)
yup, bautista’s really good but at this point he’s not yet ready for a world championship fight. maybe in another year or 2, anyways he’s got time on his side.

[/quote]i also watched the bautisa fight and he is quality he mad short work of his man in the last fight and he did show aspects of becoming a future champ and he is only 19 and he still has alot to learn.but if he keeps going like he is, he will be a champ!
