Rafael Marquez has a September 18 Showtime date and a tentative deal to face Juan Manuel Lopez in Las Vegas on that date, according to Dan Rafael of ESPN. The only problem is that Lopez has a fight on July 10 against Bernabe Concepcion. Lopez not only needs to win, but needs to come out of the fight relatively unscathed. Two months is a very quick turnaround for a fighter the caliber of Rafael Marquez.
