    Who you lot think won?

    It was a split decision which is annoying to every boxing fan but who do you think won that fight?

    Well i think vasquez won it but he lost the early rounds but i think he lost them rounds because he was worried about cuts so he didnt let his hands go til the later rounds so he wouldnet be stopped.
    I had it almost even with marquez winning intil round 9 where vasquez was just landing more and hurting him.
    I think marquez more or less gave it everything he had in the earlier rounds and didnt save enough for later rounds.
    I was right in my thinking that vasquez would be a slow starter tonight because he cuts so easy and gets hit so often.
    But as you saw later rounds marquez slowed down maybe it could of been him punching himself out to much earlier rounds but his work rate went down, he was missing more and getin hit alot more.
    Very lucky for marquez it didnt get stopped to any other ref would of stopped that fight and if the ref didnt jump in marquez would of got hit more and it would of been stopped.
    The last round won the fight or else we could of very well of seen a draw or a sd for marquez.
    What made vasquez win? power,stamina,determination and will but im not saying marquez didnt have all those but vasquez kinda took them stats away from marquez with his punishing power.
    Marquez was afraid to let his hands go because he was rocked so many times he stepped of vasquez a few times where he could of knocked him down but a the same time he could of got rocked to so i think vasquez took his confidence away.
    Great fight overall nice end to a trilogy a must to go down in boxing history as one of the best rivals of all time.
    Better then gatti - ward imo and what does everyone else think won?

    The fight was even for me going into the 12 and the KD won it for vasquez. I don't mind the split going to Vasquez.

      I had Vazquez winning, the low blow and knock down really cost Marquez the fight, he had a great start but started fading by the 9th.

        I would be surprised if more than a small minority thought Marquez won, but I suppose these boards have had some oddballs after fights. Look no further back than Taylor/Pavlik II to see that much.

            I had Marquez by a point,but the lowblow and KD lost him the fight,if it wasnt for the lowblow ( which i dont think was low ) it would have been a draw on the judges cards

              Vazquez was ahead for me by 1 but the way he dominated the 12th sealed the deal

                vazquez no doubt.. raf put on a good technical performance.. he got the knockdown and prob got judges to give him some rounds by throwing a flurry in remaining 10 secs of many rounds.. but in the end vazquez took over in the last half of the fight.. turned it around with one punch. brought the pressure.. and showed the champ he is especially in that final round.. Vazquez won. no dount in my mind.. to bad raf couldnt be a more gracious loser... but he was upset cuz the better man won.
