It?s fight week down in Cancun, Mexico as WBA and WBO lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez is gearing up for a clash this Saturday night against Columbia?s Likar Ramos, set to take place inside the Plaza de Toros. On the line for the three-division champion is a November 12th crack at WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao inside of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.
On Wednesday Marquez could be found inside of the mall Gran Plaza in Quintaroo amidst a sea of adoring fans who began chanting the 37-year old?s name repeatedly after just one brisk round of shadowboxing. It is obviously an emotional return for Marquez to be performing in his native land, only further fueled by the fact that he will be sharing a card with his younger brother Rafael for the first time in nearly five years.
