Puerto Rican rivals Juan Manuel Lopez and Wilfredo Vazquez Jr., both former world titleholders well past their best days, have never liked each other. For years, they have engaged in trash talk.Now, with neither boxer having any prospects for a decent payday, they plan to settle their differences in the ring. Lopez, a former featherweight and junior featherweight titlist, and Vazquez, who won a junior featherweight title, will meet in a scheduled 12-round junior lightweight fight on Oct. 8 in their home countrys Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, upstart firm Black Tiger Promotions announced on Thursday.They will fight at a contract weight of 129 pounds, though there is a mandated weight check on the day of the bout for which neither fighter can rehydrate to more than 136 pounds, an accommodation to the smaller Vazquez.The 33-year-old Lopez (34-5, 31 KOs), a southpaw with great power, will end a 25-month retirement to fight Vazquez.Lopez, always with a shaky chin -- he has been stopped in all five of his losses -- has lost two fights in a row and three of his past four, each by harsh early knockout.?Mikey Garcia blasted him out in the fourth round of a featherweight title bout in June 2013; Francisco Vargas took him out in three rounds in July 2014; and Jesus Cuellar destroyed him in the second round to retain an interim featherweight belt in September 2014.Lopez retired after the bout against Cuellar, but he has been restless in retirement, and the prospect of his getting his hands on Vazquez was too much to ignore.Finally this fight has come from many years of trash talk from Vazquez, Lopez said at a news conference announcing the bout at a sports bar in San Juan. I said if you want to fight me, they have to pay me what I was worth at that time. I didnt say that you were receiving this and so I have to get that. I dont fight for names. I fight for business. I dont fight for reputation, but its necessary to be a famous person so people will come to see me fight.I remember a video where Papito [Vazquez] said he would fight me for free at 130 pounds or 160 pounds, but you really wanted a catchweight of less than 130 and now you want 50 percent of the purse.Vazquez (24-6-1, 19 KOs) is no fan of Lopezs either.Everybody here knows what I think about Juanma Lopez, he said. From now on, no more trash talk because I will not lose my focus on this fight. I was training for a fight on June 25, but it was canceled and thank God this fight was offered.Ive never gotten any credit from Juanma Lopez. Ive taken his crap and responded to those comments and now the fight is made. I will show Juanma Lopez that sacrifice defeats talent.Vazquez, 32, the son of former three-division titleholder Wilfredo Vazquez Sr., has lost two fights in a row and three of his past four, all by decision. He is coming off a 10-round split decision to unbeaten Rafael Rivera in December. Goran Dragic Jersey . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later.

KZ Okpala Jersey . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. Having already borne the brunt of the best Sydney has to offer back in July, there is no danger of Geelong underestimating the huge challenge posed by the Swans in their upcoming AFL preliminary final.The Cats earned the bye last weekend by virtue of their epic two-point victory over Hawthorn in the qualifying final back on September 7 and will be a refreshed outfit when they square off against Sydney at the MCG on Friday night.A highlight of the encounter between the teams which filled the top two spots on the ladder at the conclusion of the home and away season will be the clash of two of the leagues deepest and toughest midfields.The Swans dominated that contest within a contest back in round 16, when the likes of Luke Parker, Dan Hannebery, Kieren Jack and Tom Mitchell held sway in the middle as Sydney handed Geelong a 38-point thumping.It was only the Cats seventh loss in their past 72 games at Simonds StadiumOur midfield is now gelling a bit more, weve got a bit more chemistry now and the inclusion of Scotty Selwood and Sam Menegola has been fantastic for us, Geelong utility Mark Blicavs said on Wednesday.Well go in really confiident on Friday night but we know the damage the Swans can do.ddddddddddddThey showed that against Adelaide on Saturday night and they towelled us up down here.On the most recent occasion Geelong played in a preliminary final, back in 2013, Blicavs was a wide-eyed rookie still making the transition from steeplechaser to elite AFL footballer.That match ended in a five-point defeat to arch-rivals Hawthorn, who would go on to win the next three flags.I didnt really know the opportunity that was in front of me, but I realise it a bit more now, said Blicavs.Back then I was a 22-year-old who was just playing footy because I enjoyed it and didnt understand how big a scale it was.Blicavs said the Cats would benefit from having played only one match since trouncing Melbourne by 111 points back on August 27 to close out the home and away season.I think it will keep us fresh mentally and physically from the Hawthorn game, he said.That was probably the most physically and mentally demanding game Ive been involved in.
