 World Boxing Organization Intercontinental superbantamweight champion Rey “Boom Boom” Bautista continues his comeback bid when he battles Mexico’s Eden Marquez in what promises to be another good test of whether Bautista has it in him to become a future world champion.
The Bautista-Marquez clash will come even as the man who inflicted a devastating first-round stoppage of “Boom Boom,” former WBO world champion Daniel Ponce de Leon, says he is looking forward to a rematch with Bautista who is currently ranked no. 2 by the WBO.

 Despite reports and confirmations that Manny Pacquiao has called off the proposed December clash against Oscar de la Hoya, the Filipino ring icon's coach and trainer has insisted that his ward "is too much" for the Golden Boy at this time.
"Pacquiao’s style and the in-and-out motion and his speed is, I think, too much for Oscar at this time," Roach told 15rounds.com's Mario Ortega Jr.
Roach said that the de la Hoya now is not the boxer he trained before. "He is not what he once was. He has trouble pulling the trigger."

The only issue now is how they will split the money.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said "money matters" is the remaining hurdle they would have to break through to make the December 6 dream fight between Manny Pacquiao and Oscar de la Hoya come true.
A report posted on PhilBoxing.com said de la Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions (GBP) proposed a 70-30 revenue sharing while Pacquiao’s camp is demanding a 60-40 share.
Arum said, “All this stuff about the gloves, about the weight, that’s all crap. That’s all been agreed to. There’s only one real issue and that’s the split of the revenue.”
