    Probably Nelson...definitely over 15.

    Over 12 it could be close...but in the end I think Azumah is just to physically strong for Marquez to settle into his comfort zone.

    Nelson wins a close, controversial decision in the first fight, then beats him decisively in the rematch.

    Nelson via decision. It would be a close fight in the later stages, but Nelson would take the first five or six rounds and Marquez would struggle to get many rounds back in the later stages.

    Nelson 116-112.

    nelson wins the first three rounds over the rest of the fight the rounds are quite evenly shared ,but the first three rounds make the difference ,i think over 12 or 15 rounds
    marquez goes the distance

    Real interesting fight.
    Im leaning towards Marquez by razor thin UD.

    I like Marquez's technical ability and ring smarts to win him a UD here, although he is a little open to the left hook, which Nelson threw so well

    At 130 id take Marquez by decision hed probably get dropped and it would be close but convincing for Marquez, I think Marquez style would be wrong for Nelson. Im going with JMM 115-112

    I like Nelsons chances better at 126.

    I'm just surprised the comments aren't all slanted for Nelson. Good. This is an interesting match-up.
