Willing to die my ass!!!

Wonder if he'll remember this statement, when he can't remember where he put all those brain sells. Saying shit like this is really stupid. Say that to all those families who lost fighters in the ring.

Point is, he never should have said he was willing to die in the ring when thats not the case. He still is a warrior, though.

correct me if im wrong Israel said 'im willing to die just to win this fight' Because of his broken nose that affected his breathing he thinks that ist no longer possible for him to win the fight. He did not say he's willing to die just to finish the fight. :)

I have an idea, don't take that statement literally chief. This isn't Gladiators spearing each other in 970 AD or anything. Seriously, it's a figure of speach. Some guys are willing (if able) to go further than others, but never to their death, to win.

anyone who is willing to die for a fight is fucking insane

No he does have a point if a fighter says theyre willing to fight to their death then they start crying that their nose is sore then they make themselves look stupid. Great fight though. Doesn't get any dumber than this. "Figure of speech"...look it up.

First up i'm not knocking the guy at all, dude looked like he had been hit by a truck and he tried to fight through it for a couple of rounds but obviously couldn't go on any longer. Thing is though, before the fight much was made of comments from both Vazquez and Marquez said they were willing to die to win this fight. Willing to die??? C'mon man, you weren't even willing to fight through a broken nose!!! Just saying yall. This is a guy who got up from 2 bad knockdowns against a hard puncher in Jhonny Gonzalez and came back to get the KO. He doesn't have to prove shit to anyone. I have an idea, don't take that statement literally chief. This isn't Gladiators spearing each other in 970 AD or anything.

Yeah that's so easy when someone's watching from the stands. It's exactly like being there everyone knows what it feels like. Right?

PLS READ : He said he's willing to die to WIN. not willing to die WIN or LOSE. GOT it now???

Yeah 7 rounds too long. I mean obviously the knockdown gave him a spirited hope. Though Vasquez was fighting on pure heart for as long as he lasted after the 3rd round knockdown. I think he wanted out a lot sooner than he did. Roach said in like round 5 and I think that was the round you can hear when they went to the corner Roach said something to Vasquez like, can you continue? Vasquez said no and they cut camera. Yet he continued 2 more rounds. That's balls right there.

it wasnt the pain from the nose, it was the fact that he couldnt breathe. im sure if it was just a lot of pain, he would have showed the courage to fight on If he couldn't breathe then isn't that part of willing to die in the ring? Really if he believes that he couldn't continue then he shouldn't continue. He stuck it out for 7 rounds so who can really blame him.
