.. Just ****ing brutal, and I think it started taking its toll on Diaz around the 5th round. Honestly, even though Diaz landed the better shots in the first two rounds, the remainder of them I had for Marquez, because even though he was fighting off the backfoot and up against the ropes, he was clearly landing the cleaner, more effective punches. Diaz's flurries LOOKED great, but often the punches were short of their intended mark. It's been a long time since I've seen a fight that good live. I'm not even an MMA hater, but last night is a prime example of how that sport can never match boxing's intensity when it's on. Instead of three five-min rounds with dips and lulls, you had about 30 minutes of full ON non-****ing-stop action, with two warriors who never clinched and never stopped punching the whole fight. Damn that was satisfying.
I was more impressed with how JMM didnt let diaz's early bodywork slow him down and gradually found his prime range on diaz and yeah its a fight I wish I recorded
JMM body shots were going unnoticed by the HBO commentary ... he was paying alot of attention to the body.
yeah marquez even said in his post fight interview that once he hit diaz to the body real good that diaz's power changed. i mean not like he had any in the first place...but you get the idea
The man can't get enough praise for that performance, he pretty much fought Diaz's fight and still knocked him out...nothing short of amazing also the commentating was horrible last night
JMM is a man, baby bull is just that, a little boy lol...compared to Marquez who is a ring vet that is...it was a beautiful fight to watch, especially once you seen how Marquez' plan began to unfold..he looks like one of the best counter-punchers in the game right now
