Through two fights who has the edge- Izzy or Rafa?

[Slotff]

Who has gotten the better of the other man? Both guys have knocked the other out. Who has the edge?

Was it Rafa through: Cutting the **** of of Vasquez' eyebrows in the second fight, breaking his nose in the first fight and taking his title?

Or was it Izzy: Knocking him down twice in two fights and rocking him hard in the rematch?

Israel is a beast now that he has a jab, i honestly think it will be very hard for rafael to beat him again.....i think izzy has teh edge right now, he dropped him and if the refereee had not stopped it that quickly, he owuld have absolutly brutalised him........

i like both guys but this third time that they fight, ill root for my brother from Iztapalapa, Rafel Marquez....

I actually think Marquez has dished out more punishment, but Vazquez is a ****enbeast nad hasn't slowed down, while Marquez has been donw and hurt. I don't think Marquez can stop Vazquez, and that makes me think it will be hard for him to win with the pace these two guys fight at.

Whilst I feel that Marquez has gotten the better of Vasquez (despite being KO'd proper in the rematch), I think that Izzy would win a third fight. Marquez has landed the harder shots through their two fights (not to say that Vasquez has not landed bombs of his own) and mashed Izzy's face to bits in the rematch. However, Vasquez looked so good and so talented in the rematch that I dont think he is gonna get beaten for a long time. I think he stops Rafa next time.

i think vasquez, he improved vastly in the second fight and showed great mental strength to come back like that after getting stopped in the first bout. the third installment see's much the same, vasquez takes marquez heart

[alphaqfrankie]

He should thank Rudy Perez for that!(Barrera former long time trainer) And to think that was the FIRST time Vazquez has ever worked with Perez. He is still learning and even made mistake in the rematch.....I'm sure Rudy will get Vazquez in top shape again and help make the necessary changes.


Rudy Perez will also train Martin Castillo with his fight against Jorge Arce.

In their first fight I thought Vasquez would of won if he hadn't had the broke nose. In their second fight Marquez beat the living **** out of him, but Vasquez wasn't seriously injured this time and was able to get the win. I'm pulling for Vasquez to win in the third match, but it will be an exciting fight either way.
