WelshDevilRob Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Rafael Marquez To Jhonny Gonzalez: I Accept, Let's Fight! By Ernesto Castellanos, notifight.com The former bantamweight and featherweight champion, Rafael Marquez, has learned that the brand new WBC featherweight champion Jhonny Gonzalez has mentioned his name for a possible first defense. And in such a situation Marquez said: "We are happy to fight. " Rafael Marquez said that he is probably going to fight again on the June 4th undercard to the Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.-Sebastian Zbik middleweight clash at Staples Center in California. "They could put me in there against Jhonny. It would be a great fight, a fight that fans would like to see - ending with a knockout because the two of us hit very hard," said Rafael said. "I'm ready. I don't want him to think that I'm ignoring him or that I'm not interested." Jhonny returned back to Mexico last Saturday from a trip to Japan, where he knocked out Hozumi Hasegawa to win the WBC crown. Upon his arrival, he named Marquez as his possible next challenger. Marquez is training a few days a week in the gym with his coach, former world champion Daniel Zaragoza. Source: www.boxingscene.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemurphy Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Rafael's seen better days and despite the Hasagawa win, so has Jhonny. It's not what it once might have been, but it's still a good matchup that I would enjoy seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
