A lot of people thought this fight was going to be a snoozer as both Casa and JMM were primarily known as counter punchers. I made the point of saying that JMM couldn't afford a purely technical, but boring win as that would affect his chances of landing a 3rd with Pacquiao so we may be surprised with the action in this fight.
I was expecting a BIT more action actually, but I definitely was not disappointed. What a beautifully fought fight by both fighters. Both fighters took advantage of each other's mistakes. Each fighter was strategically positioning themselves for better angles and wasted no activity. Accuracy was something both Casa and JMM were executing nicely. The pace of the fight had me at the edge of my seat and that finished just topped it over. Fucking awesome.
Casamayor was gong to get up but Marquez was also going to send Casamayor back down. Marquez just exploded, Casamayor tried to exchange but Marquez throws punchs from differnt angles that its difficult to know which punch has the ko power.
To tell you the truth I was a little worried that Casa would land one of those hard sneacky shots, like the ones he landed on Corales and Kasidis.
There were some parts of the fight i though fuck next punch he lands Marquez is going down. The fight had me on the edge of my seat, least i felt at any time either guy could put the other down if there not carefull thats just what happened, Marquez was 1 second ahead of Casamayor and that won him the fight, great technical fight.
I didn't see this fight but I caught the replay of the KO on youtube. I was surprised that the ref (Weeks?) called the fight after the second knockdown. Shouldn't he have given Casa the count?...
The ref should, considering Casa is the champ. I dont know why.

Had some slow spots, but on the whole that was a damn good boxing match. Good example of technical boxers puttin on a fight that ain't boring.
yea, there were some dull spots and some of the people i watched the fight with kind of complained, but it was only a 1 or 2 times. the ending made up for it, everyone was giving high fives.
