    Bit wan at the crusts, but that nice juicy lump in the middle is worth celebrating! :happy Keepin' it positive, boys!!


    (I even included the caveat when mentioning the rivalry's epic nature that it was more about how the overall arc played out than an every-minute-of-all-three type deal...but in a positive way.

    Nobody is saying Larios is a great fighter - I'm not even saying Vasquez is a great fighter - but their fights are fun. The thread is called Israel Vasquez, not Israel Vasquez, does he deliver as much technically as Peter Mathebula?

    Larios-Vasquez is definitely a special series, it puts a smile right on my face, first round knockout, last ditch knock out, munging cut...you pricks can keep your super-bantam technicians MOTHER****ERS

    Woah, woah, woah, back up brother.

    You said it was like, the best series since Louis. That's an opinion, and you're more than entitled to it, I just consider it a hyperbolic claim. It's not worthy enough, despite being good and going 2-1 with 3 'stoppages'.

    The 3rd fight in particular is a let down (Larios looked disinterested IMO) There are plenty of better series than any involving Oscar Larios.

    Like, Vasquez-Marquez for instance ;-)

    Nah, that's actually not what I said.

    I said it was "one of the better" series post Louis.

    Fair enough, but I still disagree with you. Yeah, it's good, the 2nd fight is ace, the first is a highlight reel K.O and the 3rd is, IMO, not all that (did Larios already know he was moving up to face Pacquiao at that point?)

    In 50+ years that's 'one of the better series'? As I say, you know way more than me but I have to respectfully disagree.

    Also, to insinuate it's because of technical snobbery is madness IMO, and reeks of throwing your toys out of the pram. :tong

    what you mean he knows way more than you? Don't we all know the same?

    I like what McGrain's saying though, it was some good viewing.
