    The fighters are getting introduced. Rafa with a big ovation as he entered the ring and a smaller but very vocal crowd backing Nishioka. Both men looked relaxed, confident and ready to go. Kenny Bayless is the ref and Jimmy Lennon Jr. is the announcer.

    (I love the moments right before a fight; specially if I'm in the audience. That energy when it's about to pop off is one of my favorite things in all of sports.)

    I have it on Fox Deportes. You might want to check if the Top Rank stream is back up.

    I think most of us are just going to have to go by your RBRs

    A pretty tentaqtive first half of the round by both guys. Nishioka keeping his lead right high and tucked by his ear to fend off Rafa's left. A close round with neither guy landing any combos, but Nishioka lands three nice striaght punches to Rafa's head over the last 20 seconds and takes the round.

    10-9 Nishioka

    Rafa coumes out behind a left jab that isn't landing much, but keeps ishioka moving. Clearly the faster of the two, Nishi occasionally lands a quick straight left upstairs. Niehter fighter is paying much attention to the body. Rafa lands some solid shots to the head and chest in the last minute.

    10-9 Marquez

    19-19

    It's starting to heat up. Nishioka comes out with a couple of quick straight lefts. Rafa takes them well and works behind the jab, landing a couple rights of his own. Marquez is the stronger puncher and the crowd cheers every time he lands. Over the last minute, the fight reverts back to it's workman-like pace.

    10-9 Marquez
    29-28 Marquez

    Nishioka comes out circling to his right after spending the first three ronds going left. This is nuetralizing Marquez's jab, but Nishioka is not throwing one of his own. Rafa slipped downin the middle of the ring. Nishioka's punches are lightning fast, but he isn't throwing enough of them. As a result, Marquez narrowly takes another close round.

    10-9 Marquez
    39-37 Marquez

    Anybody reading these?
