Marquez vs Vasquez II - FOTY ?

Does no one think that Vargas-Mayorga can top it? I mean, this fight was sweet, but it only went 6 rounds. If Vargas & Mayorga can do this for longer, they will get the nod, because it went longer and they are the bigger names.

Fight of the Year so far without a doubt. And that 3rd round was probably the round of the year. I thought their first fight was a bit overrated, but this fight was pure greatness...

Definitely FOTY and I don't see anything beating it out unless the end of the trilogy is in December (or earlier).

for me it was fight of the year. the fight was top quality through and through. vazquez-marquez 2 is the kind of fight that saves boxing................. both guys are true warriors and a asset to the sport! I think it could be one of the best trilogies ever,normally in trilogies the first fight is the best,the 2nd fight was entertaining,and the 3rd was good These two have went past that,the 2nd fight was more brutal then the first

I said.. so far.. Which is basically, yes.. but with hope that one of the other big fights we have lined up, does something for me. Wishful thinking, I guess.

I think that right now it has been the best fight of the year. I think Mayorga/Vargas has a good chance of being better though. The only problem with both of the Marquez/Vazquez fights is they can't last past the middle rounds. Knockouts are great, but it would be nice to see them last a few rounds longer. I thought this fight was very competitive, and very entertaining, but I think Mayorga & Vargas can bring all of that to the table too, and they can make it last longer (not to mention they are the bigger names, which would probably serve as the tiebreaker unfortunately). I also thought it was strange how many people thought Marquez was going to win. I thought he was going to win an extremely close fight, which is what I got from pretty much everyone else I heard from on the subject. It's just strange that in a fight that everyone thought would be very close, they almost all thought Marquez would win. Finally, I really can't wait for the rubber match. It's been a while since we have had the opportunity for a trilogy that can produce two fights of the year.

this was it hands down for me. Nothing else compares, the skill level, the desire to punish each other, the drama and back in forth action, we didn't have that anywhere else.

It's the best I've seen this year. There have been some intriguing matchups this year but no classic bouts... this has to be #1 for me right now

tere is going to be Marquez vs Vasquez 3 for sure each on hold a in against each other so someone want to win the war now. is Freddie Roach still with Vasquez corner ?

What A Fucken Fight!!!!yeeeee Haaawwww!!!

Yes!!!! EASILY FOTY and their first one was already in the running but this one was even more exciting.

My father as drunk as usual when watching fights said, greatest fight in the world. I guess that means fight of the year. Unbelieveable fight.

This fight lived up to all the hype and then some; it was very competitive up until the knockdown the 6th round and was the type of 'blood 'n guts' fight boxing fans love to watch.... This fight gets my vote for sure...

Talkin about the stopage,did any of you guys see when the ref stoped the fight,in the right hand corner,a towel got thrown in ? yea, i THINK (not sure at all) that that was either Vazquez's corner in celebration, or Marquez's corner in disgust of the stoppage. It was well after the fight had been called though, like a few seconds

A few fights could top this though... Mosley Cotto Pavlik Taylor I doubt any will contain the same brutality and will power displayed by both of those great warriors. Yea i agree that this fight COULD be topped, especially with the amazing END YEAR we have. I mean, this was NOT a CORRALES_CASTILLO I shoe-in, or an all tiem great fight, but it was just an amazing fight and its so far the FOTY IMO

For the six rounds it lasted it was probably FOTY, but at this moment I have to say no because of how short it was. Let me watch it again and I might change my mind. The thing was though it was competitive and back and forth. Whenever one man landed some good shots the other came back with a vengence until the last round when I felt the ref stopped the fight too early, even though Marquez looked in bad shape he should have been giving a few more seconds. When I really think about it now it probably is FOTY because it was a brawl, but technically good and both fighters fought at a high level. I mean I was impressed with how hard, short and accurate both mens punches were. It was just that Vasquez landed his punch the left hook more often. Excellent fight and can't wait for the third match.

YES! Without Question IMO. It was an unbelievable two way fight. NON STOP action. I mean, u look at round 4, which was a pretty slow round in comparison to the rest of the rounds, but it was a really solid action packed round. Ill say this. In round 3 when Marquez was rocked badly, i thought for Sure Vazquez would land one just like that again and end it, maybe in the next round. BUt then Marquez outboxed in and started pounding away at Vazquez's body and had him Hurt MAN TIMES throughout the next few rounds. ANd then i was like, "IF VAZQUEZ WINS THIS FIGHT, IT WOULD BE AMAZING" And sure enough the next round he lands a bomb and end the fight. Best fight since CORRALES_CASTILLO in these eyes It reminded me of a Bantamweight Hagler Hearns/Corrales Castillo mixed,so good i didnt want it 2 end,im angry it ended lol get them back in the already
