During my recent swing through Big Bear, Calif., I caught up with strength and conditioning coach Angel Heredia, as he is presently assisting his client, former WBC light heavyweight champion Jean Pascal, ahead of his Jan. 18 date on HBO against Lucian Bute.
Heredia made a splash in the sport in late 2011 when it was revealed that he was assisting Mexico City’s Juan Manuel Marquez ahead of his third meeting with Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas.
Marquez fought an excellent battle against Pacquiao in their trilogy match, losing a close majority-decision that many felt he won, and he returned to stop his Filipino foil in chilling fashion in their fourth encounter a year later.
Marquez is presently eyeing his future following a bitter split-decision loss to Tim Bradley on Oct. 12.
Asked for any insight into his charge’s future, Heredia is adamant that another melee with Bradley is on Marquez’s agenda.
“I spoke to him a couple days ago,” Heredia stated. “He said that he doesn’t know yet who he’s going to fight. He’s waiting on Bob Arum; I think he wants a rematch with Bradley. Whether Bradley was going to give it to him, I don’t know. I’m still waiting too.”
Arum, Marquez’s co-promoter, would love to match Marquez up with Pacquiao for a fifth time but Heredia affirmed that such a scenario isn’t exactly tempting to Juan.
“He told me he’s comfortable with the KO and he’s going to go home and remember it for the rest of his life,” Heredia explained. “I asked him if it’s a possibility that a fifth fight might go and he said ‘To be honest with you Angel, I think that chapter is closed now.’”
Heredia did add that if Marquez can get the rematch with Bradley, that he will eye a couple of tune-up fights in Mexico before retiring officially.
One name that Heredia isn’t completely ruling out is WBO junior welterweight champion Ruslan Provodnikov, who Marquez appears to be at least mildly-interested in at this point.
“He mentioned that to me as another option too,” said Heredia. “But it depends where they fight. He doesn’t want to fight in Vegas anymore. It could be Mexico, it could be San Antonio, Texas, it could be Florida. Who knows.”

A follow-up report from E! News confirms Rihanna’s message, but with one small twist
“She booked a private room for her friends and family,” a source claimed, pointing out that Rihanna won’t actually be hosting the event inside of her boss Jay-Z’s popular club.
Instead of playing host to the event, Rihanna will be just another regular partisan on this night.
“She’s chosen to party here which is very different from hosting,” the source added. “There will be no host, just our regular New Year’s Eve party.”
Still, fans can purchase tickets to the event in hopes of getting a sight of the Barbadian beauty.

As seen on Saturday night, Dec. 28, Chris Weidman successfully retained his UFC middleweight belt in a rematch with one of the sport’s all-time greats, Anderson Silva.
Weidman (11-0) had defeated Silva (33-6) via a shocking knockout five months earlier, so it wasn’t exactly shocking to see him score a victory. But what was so surprising was the fashion in which he claimed a second victory.
In the second round of the match from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Silva threw out a left kick that was subsequently blocked by Weidman. Silva immediately dropped the canvas in pain, as it became evident that he had suffered a broken leg.
Referee Herb Dean waived the bout off seconds later, granting Weidman the victory.
Replays show just how severe the injury was, as the 38-year old Silva’s leg can be seen practically bending in half. It was one of the most gruesome injuries in combat sports history.
The questions now turn to what lies ahead for Silva and if this may very well mark the end of his legendary career.
Whatever happens from here, the Brazilian has left his mark in the sport and should keep his head high.
