They were just interviewed in Republica Deportiva. Here is what they had to say: JMM He explains that the punch as has been labeled a lucky punch was the main weapon they worked on during training. He hates to say this but he actually created a few KDs because of it in sparring. He relieves the emotions during the fight. He celebrated because of the achievement but it soon hit him that Pac was still on the ground which worried him. As a professional he does not want to cause serious damage to someone and would not wish that on him. He went to check on him and ask him if he was ok and was glad to get confirmation from Pac. He is still unsure on what he wants to do and has to review with his family. Nacho He is still enjoying the victory that JMM gave us the Mexicans. He believes the scores were fair up until the stoppage. He has reviewed the fight twice and yes they were down by a point. He said the gamplan was body shots. He saw 3 very solid body shots which he said made Pac uncomfortable. He is asked if that was JMMs greatest fight and he said not really. He has always shown an amazing devotion to the sport since he was 14 years old and he is so devoted to his Mexican people. JMM wanted to give the Mexicans a gift this year. He states the weight was something planned. They needed to keep up with Pacs freakish foot and hand speed. 5th fight? He says that is up to the family. He has alot of love for JMM and would like him to retire with full health as all the money in the world can not buy you a new brain. Will there be a fight between Roach and Nacho? He smiles and says no he respects Roach alot because of his desire to continue in the sport despite his illness. He then says I dont care what anyone says but I am still certain I have beaten him 4 times. LIKE A BOSS!!!
They're both classy, stand up dudes. Credit to the sport. Thanks for translating the interview- always good to hear from JMM and Nacho.
Have you ever watched the Jandaeng fight? To me the most beautiful display of uppercuts. At points he starts a combination with an uppercut from about 7 feet away from Jandaeng and lands multiple uppercuts. If any other fighter tried that they would either miss or get caught and knocked the **** out as throwing an uppercut from long range can be suicide. I really wish I still had that fight. It got taken with my last DVR.
I think my all time favoraite Marquez fight is the first Diaz one. An all time classic; tons of action, high skill level, furious exchanges, both guys wobbled then ended with a perfect body shot-uppercut KO. thats one fight i always put on for the uninitiated and they always leave as a Marquez fan.
Classy, I know Marquez has been knocked down quite a few times but it honestly feels like he's immortal doesn't seem like he'd ever get k.o.d cold
The fact that they both genuinely adore the sport of boxing and are two highly intelligent strategists won me over a long time ago, ****ing love both guys.
Agreed I loved that fight remember watching live, the adrenaline had me going :yep.Only negative was that knockdwon but i'll give katsidis that it wasn't lucky he caught him he's a warrior & fighting for his brothers death.Marquez really shined that fight not backing up from fight.
