Yes it is...No way in hell Marquez throws this fight. What the hell does he need a trilogy for? Plus, if he wanted a 3rd fight, for whatever stupid reason, theres no guarantee he wins a third fight. Marquez was 4-0, w/4 KO's in his career rematches. Why would he want to tarnish that perfect stat.? Ridiculous to even consider such a thing.
I say delete this thread. Just pollutes the board. This is a forum and we share opinions but this isn't an opinion, it is stupidity that taints what Vasquez and Marquez did.
friggn bull**** Izzy was very aggressive and threw the left alot more than the 1st fight and threw Marquez off what he expected.
:good The left hook in the 3rd round slowed him considerably, and after that Izzy had no problems getting inside and making it his fight.
Its Always A Possibilty. I Do Believe That Marquez WAS UNDERPAR. He Didn't Seem As Sharp As He Was In The First Fight. His jab was never used But vasquez has got to be given credit for his performance BRING ON THE RUBBERMATCH
Marquez wouldn't throw a fight when another win adds more to his legacy and supremacy in that division and historically. Theres a number of reasons why he might have lost and I shouldn't even bother because this tread is stupid but here it goes; 1. Maybe he thought he would do the same as before, maybe even easier with the nose factoring into it. Before the fight over 70% thought that Marquez was going to win, why do you think that was? Did he understimate Vasquez? 2. He might have tried to beat Vasquez at infighting because of his confidence in his power and the last fights result. Maybe he couldn't find room to maneuver due to the more effective pressure this time. 3. Vasquez simply looked a lot better this time with his jab and movement. Didn't Roach not train him the last time? 4. Vasquez has serious power and Marquez has only a decent chin. He was hurt throughout the fight. 5. Ever here of simply being the better man on the night? 6. If Marquez threw the fight intentionally explain the referees stoppage, he was fighting til the end.
Marquez tried to fight too much. I dont think he would of threw the bombs he threw at vasquez if he was not trying to win. Marquez didnt box and instigated the war. SO NO WAY JOSE... I mean it was kind of dumb to go to war with when you are the better boxer. But Marquez's corner would have to be blamed for that. He had Vasquez sliced up on both eyes and he still didnt step back and use the jab when he was obviously not the better slugger. Marquez hits harder, but Vasquez as by far the better chin and recovery ability. I have no interest in a 3rd fight these guys brutalize each other too much for another one.
The only thing that supports your case is that they were putting up the 3 together and both were all battered and bruised but smiling. Think about. More money for the both of them. The third would be ppv. I see where you are coming from. To those that write if off as bull****. Marquez didnt even look upset that he lost, thats the thing that made me have a hint of what this guy is saying. I mean he is just saying 3 and putting the fingers up and smiling. More money for the 3rd fight again for both guys.
I think Marquez losing the fight was a combination of him not being as prepared for the rematch as he was for the original (he was breathing heavy after the first round/plus the fact that him and his wife were expecting) and Vasquez making adjustments in between bouts (plus fighting without a broken nose). To suggest Marquez threw the fight is a joke.
this is the stupidest **** i've ever read in my entire life. After a war like that and people say things like this.... :tired
um. marquez was going crazy on vasquez... if he was truly trying to DIVE, how the hell did he know that vasquez wouldnt get knocked out, quit, get a fight stopping cut, ect, ect... i think its very insulting to marquez, vasquez, and everything they put on the line that night to accuse him of throwing the fight. dear god look at them... they put everything on the line that fight. i think he just thought he could overwelm him.
:barf Disgusting thread..how can you even attempt to drag down a guy like Marquez. I wanted and thought he would win, but I give credit where its due. Vasquez did an amazing job taking advantage of his left hook. Both of these guys have hearts of warriors and deserve the utmost respect for putting on such an extremely entertaining fight. Deep down I hope this is just a pathetic attempt to garner some attention for yourself. Pathetic.
