    My god, that was a masterful fight. Both of these men should be commended for fighting with the level of skill and heart that they displayed.

    Certainly one of the best fights of the decade, right behind Castillo-Corrales 1.

    As much as I would love to see a 4th, that may be asking too much of both men. I have a feeling we'll be seeing the effect these three massacres had on their bodies in subsequent fights.

    Just like Castillo-Corrales, I have a feeling both will be going downhill after their superhuman efforts. What would really be great is if Rafael got a KO win over a title holder at 122 and retired while Vazquez moved up and got a title belt at 126, and retired.

    I still can't believe how tough these two are. No loser tonight...

    Yeah, definetly. They already were certified warriors even before they fought each other, but now they assure themselves as Hall of famers.

    Without question:yep

    I still am in shock by the display of skill, heart, courage, and toughness they put on - it was beyond human. UNREAL!

    A very special night in boxing history and one I'll never forgot.

    I don't know who started the mantra this this is their last fight.Vazquez said he'd give Marquez a rematch-it'll happen.

    I've watched that last round over 5 times already. Beyond human is the best way to describe it. Every second of the fight was exciting and the heart/toughness they kept showing was incredible. This fight is the definition of fighters truly giving 100%. The fight and more specifically, the 12th round is something that I'll never forget. This is probably the best fight I've ever seen since live.

    You'll probably see it in youtube in 3-4 days more. They delete sports videos that happened today immediately.

    You could try other video sites though.
