The color commentator for this is MARCO ANTONIO BARRERA!

He has a lot to say about what's happening, talking even more than the play by play guy.

If only my Espanol was better than "Completely **** and barely serviceable" :-(

 

Box Azteca has Marquez up 87-82.

Interesting. They had Mepranum with more success than me early on, but now have Marquez wide while he's barely hanging on by a thread for me. :!:

 

Round 10

Nice left by Mepranum. Marquez comes forward, high guard up. Mepranum tees off a bit from outside, mostly blocked. Marquez is circling left and right, not throwing. The crowd is actually booing! :-( 9 rounds of ****ing jizz-in-your-pants action, and it finally slow down and these spoiled rotten Mexicans start to throw a tantrum. Big overhand left and right hook combo by Mepranum.

10-9 Mepranum
