    Another southpaw bites the dust... beautiful left to the body before the finish. Two top southpaws stopped, in the 8th round... could it be 3 tomorrow night?

      Typical spray resistant mexican fighter bias.

        Nothing to be biased about it, he legitimately won by TKO but even the official card was in line with Harold's and my own.

        Its a great credit to Rafa's resume that he stopped an unbeaten champion with like 10 title defenses the way that he did even though he will get bulldozed by JuanMa tomorrow night.

          Like I said, those scorecards are misleading if you don't view the fight properly. The inertia and the advantage was on Rafa's side. Tis he who was the one on the upside and Austin on the losing end.

          As for your last statement, its as ridiculous as it is egregious.

          You're too impressed with a mediocre fighter.

            Ok then one of Mexico's greats was losing to a mediocre fighter in your view before he stopped him or are myself, the 3 judges, and Harold just Mexican haters?

              Austin was a great fighter.

              I' was referring to Lopez.

                The jury is still out in regards to how good he really is, I don't like his Caba ducking but I do like what I see generally in the ring with him and at this stage it looks like send off for Rafa but he will no doubt go down in entertaining fashion.

                What makes you think he is going to beat JuanMa?

                  Part of it is just Marquez bros. fandom, but even if that wasn't the case, I just think he's a vastly superior guy in every regard outside of natural size and youth.

                      I can't wait either, have the same type of hype feeling as I did before the Margarito vs Cotto, and Tito vs Oscar & Vargas fights.
