I don't want to use the word "luck" because it diminishes such a great fight. However, if it had not been for the one low blow from Marquez which caused the deduction or the "knockdown" was not called, he would not have lost. Without either of these things happening, Vazquez would not have won. Marquez, and many others, think either of both were unfair. Rafa came so close to winning. He did better here than the 2nd fight and if one fighter showed he can step his game up and expose weaknesses, it was Marquez. If he does that again, he could win the 4th.
Vazquez in a fight that ought not ever come off - especially for Marquez's sake (even though Izzy's arguably taken greater punishment overall up until now).
The knockdown WAS a knockdown though... and if the ref HADNT of jumped in, its very likely that marquez would have been cought with punches that DID hurt him, worse. I dont know... i just dont see Marquez beating Vasquez. He boxed about as well as he could in this fight and Vasquez did almost have him in that 12th. Its about as even as you can get with these two... but i wouldnt lean towards marquez to win a 4th fight. id be rooting for him though
I hope this doesnt happen agian I believe Marquez has taken bad BAD beatings the last 2 fights similar to the ones Corrales took in the Castillo bouts and you seen how ineffective he was at the end of his career.
Vazquez is too strong for Marquez, but they are close exciting fights, like to see more fights like them.
