Cristian Mijares vs. Rafael Marquez RBR

ha ha MIjares KOs Rafa...

 

They even stop fights early in mexico

 

lame stoppage.

I wanted to see a few more seconds. Rafa is always dangerous when hurt.

 

Slightly early...

 

That mijares vicious left pains my heart. It's sad to see a legend goes like that, reminds of the way eric morales lost his last fight.

 

Anyone know the Sergio Thompson result??

 

FIrst impression. Quick stoppage.

Second glance. Good job by the ref.


Props to MIjares.

Boxing fans won.

 

You want to see him in a strecher? :huh

 

No need to be a douche.

 

That shows how shot Rafa is. Mijares stopping Rafa?

 

I'm surprised in a fight like this, that the referee stopped the fight without Marquez even going down. But the announcers clearly agree with the stoppage. Looked like Mijares did indeed land some solid flush punches in that final flurry.

 

Marco Antonio Barrera !!

 

Marquez was winning by one round on the Azteca card. Early stoppage too. He is way past prime but he can still compete with some B fighters like Arce.

 

I have to say, the report I had read of this fight, before this stream began, indicated Mijares was on top the whole fight, with Marquez only occasionally on the offense. But this fight was a WAR for 9 rounds, and if the result allegedly indicates Marquez needs to retire, then Mijares cannot be far behind, as much punishment as he took. But I think a signature win like this should give Mijares at least 1 more significant fight, especially as loaded as the 122 division is. Awesome fight!!! Again my thanks to IB and WBC for the stream!!! HBO and Showtime, feck you for passing on it!!!

 

I like the stoppage.
keeps the newbs thinking Rafa still had a chance...
But shows us The Rafa of old needs to hang /'em up.

good win for Mijares
