    Good fight. I got Marquez
     
  3. I gotta pick Young Vazquez in a shootout! Rafa is getting a little long in the tooth but he still has top skills and experience. Both guys know how to go to war and I'll be a little sad seeing either guy lose this fight!

    Another Mexico/Puerto Rico classic.

    Not sure Rafa has enough in the tank. Vazquez had gained a lot of experience from his last two loses.

    Hoping for a Bailey/Joes-type ending.
     
  5. Nahhh yer not gonna get that moment.

    A. WV2 isn't undefeated or careful
    B. This will not be a boring fight
    C. Rafa is not a one-handed fighter looking for one punch

    But if Arce can stop him, you bet your ass Rafa can. :deal

    This will be brilliant.

    No prediction, just excitement.

    Rafa has one-punch KO power that can win him the fight even if behind on points, so yes it's possible.

    I agree with the rest of the post though.
     
  8. I just don't think "come from behind" is gonna be the story of this fight.

    Marquez is still a monster in a little mans body!

    I don't think Rafael can do it at this point, Vazquez Jr UD 12 at this point. It will be a good " Farewell " war for Rafael though.

    Hella of a fight. Don't care who wins. I just don't think Rafa was it in the tank. Vazquez by decision or late round stoppage tko or ko. Rafa should make it to 12 rounds tho.

    i think rafa takes it by KO. he's naturally bigger and more powerful than arce so if travieso could stop wv2 then i reckon rafa will too, even if he is a little shopworn

    I agree with everything you posted. Marquez is a great warrior, but his days have to be coming to a close. It always hurts to see the old warrior go down.
