Lopez defeats Marquez via technical knockout in the eighth round |
Juan Manuel Lopez vs. Rafael Marquez was a boxing match involving Juan Manuel Lopez, the WBO's featherweight champion from Puerto Rico, and Rafael Marquez of Mexico. In addition, theirs was yet another battle in the long-running rivalry between Mexican boxers and those from Puerto Rico, a fact that was not lost on either combatant. The bout took place on November 6, 2010, in Las Vegas, Nevada, with Lopez retaining his world title by eighth-round technical knockout.
They had been scheduled to meet on September 18, the weekend of Mexican Independence Day - but the fight was postponed on August 21 because Marquez suffered a freak injury to his right thumb when he slammed it in a car door. Lopez's second defense of his WBO title was rescheduled to November 6 on Showtime.[1]
The fight
Marquez would ultimately lose the bout by 8th-round TKO after he was unable to continue due to a shoulder injury. After the fight, Marquez said that he had chosen to proceed with the bout despite a right shoulder injury suffered before the contest because he did not wish to cause a second delay. According to Marquez, he re-aggravated that injury in the third round during a flurry of punches. He also expressed his eagerness to face Lopez in a rematch.[2] It was later revealed that Marquez had suffered a hairline fracture in his right shoulder blade during the fight and would require six months to recover from the injury.[3]
