MARQUEZ vs. VASQUEZ III...

israel was stunned by a right hand in the 1st round, but in general i agree with you. he seemed to have the ability to endure marquez's punishment, and was willing to in order to deliver his own, which matquez could not handle.

 

This is EXACTLY how REED Feels about the Fight...REED Even Rolled w/Vasquez N his Article...

REED Would Looooooooooove to B WRONG on this Particular Prediction, but Vasquez is the SAFE Pick, UNDENIABLY....

By KO, No Less...


REED

 

I thought about that when I picked and admittedly that part of my prediction isn't "safe."

But I think Vazquez will be just slick enough this time - and Rafa cautious enough (in "boxing mode") that they may indeed go later than anyone expects.

Vazquez will pound the body early and look to get inside quickly and re-test that chin again and again....if Rafa can take it long enough and keep moving, I think even a cut or two won't stop it going a bit later than expected.

Isra didn't get cut in the first fight, I believe. And he wasn't badly cut against Jhonny, who is a big puncher.

The 2nd fight was a bit of an abnormality, even for Isra.

Peace.

 

wait, so who is your pick? is anyone picking Raffy?

 

Well his nose was broken and bleeding. Does that count? :dunno: ::

It´s more like Rafa makes everybody bleed, if you dare to stay up long enough....not that Vazquez is easy to bust up. Most of the time Vazquez makes people bleed. I remember one of his very early fights around (3rd/4th fight), where he broke his opponents nose and the guy was bleeding so profusely the Red Cross put buckets around the ring looking for donations.

 

Guzman would school Pac. Guzman is clearly Pacs biggest threat. Where Floyd gets blasted for not fighting Cotto nobody will say anything about Pac not fighting Guzman.

 

Pac is fighting his biggest threat and is going to lose. A guy who fights in spurts like Guzman is a very winnable fight for pacquiao. Guzman losses a lot of rounds just by getting outworked.

 

Guzman is too fast and his chin is made of iron. He also has a big size advantage on Pac.

Only way i see Pac winning this fight is if the judges buy his flurries that won't be doing much.

 

Pacquiao isn't going to lose to a spurt fighter. Guzman is to comfortable doing nothing for to long. Unlike a lot of the slow guys that Guzman has faced like Barrios and Soto, Pacquiao is quick enough to land more than they did.

 

Guzmans defence would make Pac throw less punches then he can get off against other fighters and so would his counter punches. Marquez is the best defencive fighter/counter puncher i have seen Pac fight and that was the lowest output i ever saw from Manny.

 

and you have never seen Guzman fight a fast fighter at all. JMM don't sit on the ropes like Guzman does either which would give Pacquiao plenty of chances to land hard shots.

 

Official prediction: Vazquez TKO 7

Similar to the second fight, to be honest. Marquez will make it a good scrap, but I honestly felt that Vasquez hurts Marquez more than the other way around; even in the first fight (NO I don't think Vasquez was winning, but when he hurt Marquez, I thought he had a golden opportunity that slipped by.)

 

Guzman is insanely overrated. I can't believe how highly rated he seems to be.

Even this wannabe politician Pacman would thump Guzman.

Indeed gayboy Marquez is a tougher fight for Pacman.

 

who would have thought that a gift decision over Soto would get him all this hype.

 

Sopcast?:dunno:

 

Who won in your opinions? I've only seen the last 3 rounds.

 

I think Vasquez won the fight. The last round surely won him the fight. I think he probably won 6 rounds at least which is what he needed to win the fight. Also the last round could have been a 10-7 round. Marquez took a terrible beating in round 12.

 

:clap: :clap: opcorn: WHAT A GREAT SHOW EXACTLY WHAT WE AS FANS NEEDED WHO CARES WHO WON I LOVED THE FIGHT@@@@@@@@@

 

The huge 12th round won him the fight. What a performance to come out and fight the 12th like that after a brutal fight.

 

AGREED WITHOUT A 10-8 IN THE LST ROUND MAQUEZ WINS THE BELT WHAT A GREAT COME FROM BEHIND WIN.
I THOUGH IT WAS A DRAW OR MARQUEZ WIN BY 1 HE PUT ON A CLINIC EARLY.ALSO THAT LOW BLOW CALL WAS BS.

 

It probably was but Raf should have had a point off earlier for low blows he had 3 warnings for them.

 

one of the best fights i've ever seen. i thought vasquez won 113-112

 

Wlad and Ibragimov should be mandated to give 75% of their purses to those two real warriors. Straight to the HOF for both fighters. I knew the knockdown would make the difference.

You think Pacquiao is going to lose to JMM? :eeeek: :eeeek:

ANd btw....agree that Pacquiao could beat Guzman.

 

Almost:doh:

 

Vasquez is a straight up warrior. The way he went after Marquez in round 12 is how a true warrior closes a show. These guys have 10x the heart any of those pussy heavyweights could ever have.

 

Warriors = poor defense & little power :crafty:
