    JMM gets bloodied and dropped a couple of time but his will and his terrific skills would turn the fight around in the 2nd half and he would stop Diego in a controversial ending.

    Class overcomes all. Marquez is too good for Corrales, especially at 130. 135 would be difficult, but Marquez would still most likely win a decision there.

    Marquez has always been a cut above someone of Corrales' calibre.

    Well not all, otherwise there would be no upsets. You're probably referring to this matchup specifically and not as a general statement.

    Still i think the possibilty for the upset is very apparent in this one.

    Marquez is a thinking man's fighter but is still not defense first minded. He will "trade" when hurt. JMM also tends to lunge at times with his shots when his opponent is out of range. A tall guy like Chico could certainly take advantage of that, especially with his one punch power. It wouldn't be the first time we've seen Marquez on the deck against an inferior technician. It also wouldn't be the first time Corrales also rallied when behind.

    I'd favor Marquez as well but it's one of those matchups a gambler type would be smart to take the underdog.

    lets just say that the diaz clans' inheritance will no longer be depleted with tuition costs.

    Corrales wouldn't be out of range because he didn't understand (or care to understand) how to use his height & reach. He walked forward, put his cards on the table, & traded at close-quarters. I don't see him being, "out of range," for Marquez.

    Id favor Marquez because of his ability to counter and his high level of concentration... but I dont think he'd have an easy time, especially at 135... 130 I think he wins more comfortably
