Los Angeles, CA (July 25)...Hundreds of fans braved the heat at the famed Placita Olvera in Los Angeles today to welcome and cheer on Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Marquez before he heads to Las Vegas to face Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz in "Fight of the Year: The Rematch" on July 31 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center live on HBO Pay-Per-View?.
