FIGHT OF THE WEEK 2- Israel Vazquez vs. Rafael Marquez 3

Looking forward to it . But just want to say how bad bernstein and Albert are already Blowing the call early in the first round saying how marquez is dominating. Izzy lands a very clean right to the ribs of rafa , 1:40, and rafa counters with a left hook low on izzy right hip ,, and Albert chimes in another great left hook by marquez , it was low you fkn moron and what about the shot clean before that ?? DID YOU MISS IT?? hahahaha .. Only way to score boxing is with volume muted .. I am only half way through round one and had to post with this thought .. announcers are already blowing the call

 

You are going to ruin a fight like that Russell !!! You incompetent **** !!!! The low blow warning in Round 6 was belt line..... The low blow point deduction in 10 was borderline belt line on the hip ... If Russell did not blow the call in 6, then no point is taken away in 10 , imo ... And what about the several warnings to Izzy for leading with his head?? No point there?. It was the WRONG call to deduct a point imo !!! Now I got that off my chess ... This fight is why I have been consistently referring to these wars on here for years ... Not only are they my favorites, they are impossible to score and the fights could go either way ,,, .
My Card
Rafa - Izzy
10 - 9
9 - 10
10 - 10 Even
10 - 8 .. KD
9 - 10
9 - 10
10 - 9
9 - 10
10 - 9
9 - 9 .. low blow -1 point Rafa
9 - 10
8 - 10 , KD
112 - 114 Izzy
To see Izzy pick up that pace in the 11th and then more so in the 12th was incredible .... Rafa was hanging on with not much more to give

 

I'm late but for what it's worth.

Vasquez Marquez

1) 09 - 10 close round

Marquez' rd. Looked to me like Rafael landed more clean shots than Israel, but Israel did stagger Marquez. Also I liked how Vasquez was being tricky with trapping Marquez'jab and then punching off of that interruption.

2) 10 - 09 close round

Vasquez' rd. I had Marquez winning pretty clear until 00:29? Then Vasquez hurts him with a left hook. So far it's Marquez landing one or two more clean shots but Vasquez hurting him more.

3) 09 - 10

Marquez won that one with more punches landed and I think he did more damage with the body work.

4) 08 - 10

Marquez w/the KD. Great round.

5) 09 - 10

Marquez. Vasquez definitely in the fight but Marquez winning the rounds.

6) 10 - 09

Vasquez doing more damage and I thought landing more punches.

7) 10 - 09

Vasquez'rd., but close. Rafa almost stole it back. Maybe he did on somebody else's card. Great great fight.

8) 10 - 09

Vasquez all day.

9) 09 - 10

Marquez close and steals at the end.

10) 09 - 09

Marquez rd minus a point. I don't agree with the ref taking a point. Bull****.

11) 10 - 09

Vasquez executing perfectly and taking advantage of Marquez swollen eye.

12) 10 - 08

Vasquez all day. This was the easiest round to score of the whole fight.

113 to 112 Vasquez

What a fight. The low blow deduction was too harsh. The ref ****ed up what was rightfully a draw.

 

I thought it was too harsh. There were no egregious nut shots. No malice. If you were to closely examine all of Israel's body shots, I'll bet you could find some shots that could be called low. That fight was so clean the ref should have just left it alone imo.

 

Nice card and I do agree with you about the bs point ded. . Also, I think it needs to be noted that neither man imposed his will on the other and it was a give 1, take 1 type of fight thru 11 ... And then when the bell rang for the 12, the fight completely changed. Vazquez got that " second wind " and showed that heart of a Lion he is known for ... And completely dominated Rafa, landing the biggest shots of the fight and was close to stopping him .. That round tipped it for him ,,, imo
