Juan Manuel Lopez trains for Rafael Marquez

Boxing  -  Undefeated WBO featherweight champion Juan Manuel Lopez (29-0) of Puerto Rico is getting ready to face Mexico's Rafael Marquez (39-5) for their bout on November 6 at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Lopez is considered one of the world's best fighters, while Rafael Marquez is one of the best in boxing's lower weight classes.  Marquez is the younger brother of lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez.

Juan Manuel Lopez vs Rafael Marquez is one of the most anticipated fights of the year and could earn "Fighter of the Year" honors.  November appears to be this year's biggest month for the sport.

The above fight takes place a week before Philippine boxer Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2) takes on Mexico's Antonio Margarito (38-6).
