SHOT OF THE DAY: ISRAEL VASQUEZ SAYS 4 ( ) PHOTO BY MIGUEL SALAZAR/ FIGHTBEAT.COM ISRAEL VAZQUEZ “I’m extremely grateful for being a part of three great fights. This trilogy will go down as one of the all time greats. “You can’t have a great trilogy without great fighters. Marquez and I created our legacies by insisting on fighting one another. “I have to give thanks to everyone involved: Frank Espinoza, Sycuan Ringside Promotions, Gary Shaw Productions and Golden Boy Promotions. “SHOWTIME always believed in us as well. I can sit here for the next hour and keep thanking people. A lot of people deserve credit for making this trilogy happen. “After the third fight a fan approached me and said, ‘You should just keep fighting Marquez, it’s the best boxing has to offer.’ I didn’t think about his comment too much, but I guess he was right. We gave sports fans three incredible and unbelievable fights.â€
It's amazing the kind of spirit those little guys have, to think about going at it again, regardless of the amount of punishment they've taken and will take again. I really hope if they go at it again, that they get paid solid millions, so they can retire.
Marquez should thinking to himself. Every time I up the INTENSITY, I win the fight with the potential of stopping him.
Marquez got his ass beat alot worse than Vasquez over the 3 fights. He might not be so eager to go at it again.. unless as said there are millions on the table. But it's hard to get that kinda money in that weight class.. especially in a fight that wouldn't be 'unprecedented'
HBO could market the fight better than Showtime, thus earning them more money. Yeah, a PPV might be good, I'd pay for it.....if I didn't have illegal satellite ::
Absolutely right. I interchanged names. I meant to say everytime VASQUEZ ups the intensity he dominates the fight.
