    I think he is criminally under-appreciated(Not sure if that is a word)So is JMM for that matter.I guess Morales and Barrera have a lot to do with it.Beating Vazquez gave him the recognition he deserves

    The fight vs Tim Austin is great for anyone who hasn't seen it

    Yeah his two wins over Mabuza are quality.

    The one I liked the best was the stoppage of Tim Austin; that last round was awesome. Austin had him rocking, then Marquez dug deep, punched Austin through the ropes and then stopped him. Brilliant:good




    edit: djoc175 just mentioned it above.

    His KO over Heriberto Ruiz was quality.

    I remember Sky showed it, not much happened over the first couple of rounds and then BANG Marquez hit him with (from memory) a corkscrew uppercut (I think thats what it was); lights out. KO of the year material.

    :yep It was a very even fight till the KO. Then Rafa brutally ended it, was on the undercard of a Morales fight I think.

    Im the same - UFC was ok tonight - hated the Mirko Cro Cop eyepoke tho!!! Dont get that in our squared circle!

    Cotto in 6 for me...any longer and I fancy Clottey! Cant wait for this one, especially with Khan and Haye both off....

    The AK and Bunce show always makes any Setanta boxing night worth watching....and I want to see Korobov again, looks a prospect, and may be a future DeGale/Sutherland/Jeffries opponent in a years to come.

    Wouldn't miss it.

    I ****ing would if Setanta had gone bust, actually.

    As for a prediction, now we find out if Cotto has slipped. He looked a bit frozen to me at times against Jennings, a bit rooted to the spot in getting set - hopefully he has found his groove. He'll need it

    I got Cotto by about the same distance as you.

    Im up and for me Miguel takes Clottey and boxes beautifully and may stop Clottey late on. He will liev life on edge as we come to expect from Miguel but i expect to hear ''AND STILL WBO WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD FROM CAGUAS PUERTO RICO MIGUEL ANGEL COTTO!!!!'' i'm well up for this fight as you can tell.
