Round by Round Coverage; Vazquez-Marquez

[titoi]

What a beautiful fight. You want them both to win.

Vazquez did what he had to do in the championship rounds.

Just arrived from work. I guess from your comments, i miss a great fight. Damn work. Why do we have to work. Why can't we be like Kuwait, Bedouins getting money from the government.

that sucks. he won because of a ****** law blow call. i don't think it was a bad decision but i wish it didnt come down to that.

that was not a low blow but i thought marquez should have been deducted earlier for a low blow.



anyways i would have hated to see a draw...

That was amazing. The refereeing was perfect; the fighting was all action, and the decision was beyond perfect. Vasquez won but the split decision lets Marquez get his credit too. Beautiful, beautiful end to a beautiful, beautiful trilogy.

Damn good fight, for a moment in the 12th round I thought the ref was waving the fight off after Vazquez KD'd Marquez, that would have been real ****ed up lol, in the last 5 seconds.

That was amazing. The refereeing was perfect; the fighting was all action, and the decision was beyond perfect. Vasquez won but the split decision lets Marquez get his credit too. Beautiful, beautiful end to a beautiful, beautiful trilogy.

I scored it 114-112 for Marquez (one even), but I certainly can't argue with the decision. Vazquez finished strong like a true champion and Marquez was dead for the whole 12th round (he held repeatedly and barely threw a punch). Odds are pretty good for a 4th fight between these guys.

I disagree about the referee being perfect. He took the point on a obvious shot to the belt. He may have warned Marquez twice before, but I don't think he should take the point on a questionable shot like that.

Here's my scorecard. Great fight all around.

Yeah it sucks that it came down to a point deduction from a low blow even if it was the right call. either way i cant wait to so both of them fight in the future.
