A November to Remember? Marquez-Juarez Rescheduled.

by Kevin Gonzalez on Sep 13, 2007 6:31 PM EDT in Boxing News Analysis

Good thing Juan Manuel Marquez broke his hand. Now, instead of paying $44.95 to see the Marquez-Juarez fight on HBO PPV, we'll get to see it for free on Showtime. We'll just have to wait a couple of months.

That's right, the Juan Manuel Marquez-Rocky Juarez fight has been rescheduled (along with the Robert Guerrero mandatory) for November 3rd, and will be aired live on Showtime. It will be the first of four major fights in November, which is shaping up to be one of the best months for boxing in recent memory. The weekend following Marquez-Juarez, we'll have Cotto-Mosley on HBO PPV. The weekend after that, it'll be Joan Guzman versus Humberto Soto on Boxing After Dark. And, finally, on the 23rd, we'll finally get to see Vargas-Mayorga. Not to be outdone, the first two weekends of December feature Cintron-Clottey and Mayweather-Hatton. Can't hardly wait.

Cintron/Clottey?

Isn't Cintron facing Jesse Feliciano on the Mayorga/Vargas card?

Huh...

I read in the Puerto Rican newspapers that he would be facing Joshua Clottey, on Showtime, the first Saturday of December. So...I don't know. I also don't know why Cintron would waste his time fighting someone like Jesse Feliciano...

re:

I think Feliciano was somebody to get him in the ring fast again, on a major card. I haven't heard a definitive answer on who he'll fight next. Both fights "are scheduled" -- which one actually happens is up in the air. Feliciano is a tough kid who could be more trouble than it's worth. Clottey is a nasty opponent but a more credible one.
