Even though it was only seven rounds, I think its FOTY material. Both fighters came out swinging in every round. Marquez buckled Vasquez in the first and third, then right away Vasquez comes back and knocks Marquez down. Vasquez controls the fourth and Marquez controls the fifth, though they both hurt each other and exchanged furious punches, with a furious exchange to close the fifth. The sixth and seventh non stop action. Toe to toe trading to close the seventh. A war. Then Vasquez with his very gruesome nose claims to not be able to breath and quits. Both fighters want a rematch.

Yeah it was definitely an amazing fight while it lasted. Both bombing at each other, nonstop action. Too bad it ended short. It was getting better and better throughout each round. **** it kicked off with a **** in that 2nd or 3rd round where Vasquez dropped Marquez at the end of a round he was losing. -
I think it's kinda b.s. for Vasquez to want a rematch. I mean, if he really wanted to fight he could've continued. LOTS of fighters throughout history have continued in fights with broken noses. I just think he could've continued is all but he sure as hell shouldn't be clamoring for a rematch since he quit on his stool in this fight.Comment

Let's hope it doesn't end up as one of the fight of the year candidates. Based on the how it ended, I hope we get some 12-round close encounters or definitive knockouts in major bouts.Comment

not just a broken nose, but he couldn't breath. You could hear it in his voice too, there definitely needs to be a rematch and i cant understand why anyone wouldn't want to see these 2 guys go at it at 100% unless they were marquez followers who didnt think he could win a rematch.Comment
