I was really looking forward to Israel Vazquez vs. Rafael Marquez in February, but is not happening any time soon.

NO-TIME
A fourth installment of Israel Vazquez-Rafael Marquez will not take place on February 27Th at the Staples Center as 
planned. The reason being is that Showtime, like their counterparts at HBO, is reticent to go against the Winter Olympics.
Now, the search is on for a new date that is suitable for this fight. The top priority is to make sure this fight takes place in Southern California, where it belongs. Don’t be stunned to see this fight pushed back into May.
Here’s the thing: the Winter Olympics? Really? I know boxing fans, I specifically know Mexican boxing fans( that’s why they call me Steve Mexi-Kim out here in Montebello/East L.A.) and they don’t give a rats ass about figure skating or slalom skiing. Now, I don’t run a network, but I would think this would actually be a great opportunity for them to showcase their boxing franchise while HBO takes this month off.
But what the hell do I know?
