    Well that was pointless

    Vazquez basically said PIN ME, PAY ME on this one. Why put a huge blemish on one of the best trilogies ever by coming out and doing THAT? Everybody knew his eyes wouldn't hold up and that even if they did, he still had no shot to win this one. Now the series is even. Bad, bad move. Hope the pay day was worth it, Izzy.

    Marquez shouldn't consider that a real win.

    2 headbutts to open up the damaged eyes, then just capitalize.

    Not much boxing skill involved there.

      I don't know if it was a head butt that opened it up, but it wouldn't have mattered. Priolo gave Vazquez hell in his last fight. Priolo, a guy who's been KO'd by tiny ass fighters. Vazquez was done coming into this and everybody knew it. They knew his eyes couldn't possibly hold up.

          The fight stunk, Vazquez cuts too easily now and his eyes never healed properly. And I doubt he can even see out his eyes as good as he once did. I think its time for these two warriors to move on and fight other fighters or retire.

            Izzy is one of my favorite fighters, but I think you're right. He should start thinking about hanging them up. A 5th fight with Marquez would not be entertaining and not worth risking his eyesight over.

                i didn't know about vazquez's eye before his ring walk. sad that he came to the fight already damaged. they shouldn't have a 5th fight unless both fighters are at 100%.
