Juan Manuel Marquez Moves to Lightweight 135 Pounds vs Joel Casamayor

Juan Manuel Marquez, the only Mexican fighter who was able to survive the fury of the world renowned best pound for pound fighter in the world and who is also a champion in 4 different weight divisions, Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines fights Joel Casamayor. The Marquez vs Casamayor fight seem just in time for the moving up in weight class earlier by Manny Pacquiao. Could this be just some coincidence or is “Dinamita” preparing for moving one notch up some more in a quest to fight Pacquiao and meet in the junior welterweight class?

Earlier today, the fight between Casamayor and Marquez proved to be one of the most exciting fights ever in the 135 pound division as Casamayor, the choosy fighter looses against Juan Manuel Marquez in an 11th round TKO stoppage which really ended in a flurry as the referee stops the fight after Casamayor dropped in the canvass twice in the same round. the first few rounds were taken by the Cuban fighter but after about 3 more rounds, the technical capabilities of El Dinamita proved to be superior against his opponent in the ring which he fought for the first time.

Joel Casamayor was defeated by Juan Manuel Marquez in a very close points based fight until the latter dropped Casamayor in the 11th round only to win via knockout convincingly as the referee stopped the fight because Casamayor is really badly hurt in the exchange where he took a lot of flurry of punches from Marque.

In an interview later by the fight hosts, Juan Manuel Marquez promised that the fight he won over Joel Casamayor is to show Manny Pacquiao that he is after his head and is willing to bet on his bottom dollar just to get a slot to fight the 4 division world record holder Filipino fighter whom he is really after of upon moving a weight class higher than his original division.

The question this time is, will Marquez still have enough of Manny “pacman” Pacquiao as he waits for the results of the upcoming fight between the history maker “goldenboy” Oscar Dela Hoya which is set to go on December 6 as what the HBO Boxing schedule tells in the billboard schedule of upcoming fights. Pacquiao and his fans have better prepare as Marquez starts his move up in weight class and wins over a highly ranked and top rated fighter in Joel Casamayor. This proves that Marquez has what it takes to get to the weight class of Pacquiao. I bet this will be yet another fight of the century if the Dela Hoya vs Pacquiao pursues to the ring on December 6, 2008.

Rey Boom Boom Bautista Retains WBO Intercontinental Crown Over Eden Marquez

Marquez Falls in Round and Recovers

Last night, Rey “BoomBoom” Bautista was able to retain his WBO intercontinental crown over a  fight at the Cebu Waterfront Hotel. Eden “Anesthesista” Marquez who was previously defeated also by a former foe, Castro. Bautista from the Philippines first knocked down the opponent from Mexico in the 2nd round but eventually, Eden Marquez gave in to too much strength of the Filipino champion.

Corresponding Fighter Ring Record

• Rey “Boom Boom” Bautista (25 wins - 1 loss - 18 KOs)
• Mexican Eden “Anestescista” Marquez (16wins - 3 losses -3 draws - 12 KOs)

Three other Filipinos were featured  in the fight and I must say that Bautista still has the hands with him after a defeat he suffered with a fight against Daniel Ponce De Leon. Boom Boom hopes to be able to come back to a championship fight but would need a lot of training to strengthen his stomach and body as a whole which is the major reason he got defeated by De Leon, his only ring record blemish.

The result of the the said fight is really impressive for all the Filipinos including Bautista and a 16 year old developing pride of Ala Stable which I forgot about the name.

Zab Judah vs Joshua Clottey Fight Result

Zab Judah is tough in the boxing ring but not today. Joshua Clottey just defeated Zab Judah in a fight for the crown in the welterweight division. According to boxing afficionados and sports enthusiasts from prestgious places in the internet, this could be Zab Judah’s last hurrah but since he blew out his chance, this could be it for him. Coming up with wins of his own after getting defeated, the fight between Judah and Clottey yielded visually very few boxing fans in the bleachers and even in the lower box of the ring.

This used to be be an odd scene for Zab Judah who used to get a lot of viewers from boxing fans in the United States. This could be because he is already loosing his grip over fight fans and they no longer feel that boxing for Judah is not exciting anymore. He just came from a loss to Miguel Cotto who also lost to Antonio Margarito just a week ago. So the results is just not as good as it seems for Zab Judah but so far, this can be the triggering factor for him to end up his career in boxing.

Personally, I don’t believe that Judah is out at the age of 30 but it’s just that there are a lot of better boxers today in his age that has what it takes to beat him. This is something that cannot be avoided as too many boxers come and go today. The result of this fight could be not as good for Zab but so far, this is where other boxers learn from experience.
