What a wonderful, wonderful fight. Beautiful. This was a true championship fight. This is how championship fights should look. Two skilled guys throwing legitimately hard properly thrown crisp punches, working the body and head, staying in range, not grabbing, keeping a good pace, both showing their stuff and giving it their all. These guys both deserve a bonus. This is the type of fight that is worth recording and keeping for the archives.

I too felt the referee jumped in a bit too soon, but it wasn't a horrid stoppage. Things were not looking good for Marquez, whose defense was simply not good enough tonight. He needed to keep his right hand up more, use his outside boxing a bit more. Vazquez is a pretty good finisher, as seen in a number of his championship fights.

Marquez had the better workrate and landed more, but Vazquez was the physically stronger guy, with a tad better chin and stronger punches. But Marquez's punches were very solid and crisp as well. Vazquez has heavier hands though and the more solid looking body. Rafael is quicker and sharper and busier and needs to use that on the outside more next time, with a bit more head movement and right hand up.

I would definitely like to see a rubber match, but don't think it should take place too soon or else it might get ruined by a premature stoppage. All these cuts they suffered tonight are going to need a long time to heal.

Was it just me or did it seem like Vasquez right hand was glued to the left cheek of Marquez last night
