i have it 5-2 for marquez, but casamayor could have won 3 of the first 4. those were real hard roudns to score.
always favoured marquez heavy in this one. casa has been looking past it for a while now. maybe pac will come to the table after the oscar fight and give this man his rubber match. :deal :yep
MArquez took a LOT of punches straight to the face in round 7. However, Casa probably took more so I have M in round 7. However, they really need to learn some defense. Gatti looks technically good compared to these guys. They should learn from a type like Hopkins or RJJ etc. Defense is a basic and important part of boxing, but in this fight it is just taking turns hitting. Somewhat disappointing.
Marquez landed 48% connec last round. marquez with a right, left counter casa. Marquez is finding the mark with the straight right. Marquez another straight right. Casa using the left to paw now. Casa trying to move back, Marquez right hand again. Casa is raching with the left counter. Marquez with an upjab. Marquez is turning Casa now. Center of the ring. Marquez with the right hand counter. Combo Marquez 1 2. Casa with right left combo. Marquez left and right Marquez round. 5-3 now.
good 8th. better for casa. but marquez took it and when he's in his zone he's one of the best boxers in the world to watch.
Writing's on the wall. Marquez looks great, great. I didn't expect him to be so mobile! He didn't look this mobile against Pac! Looks like the new weight is suiting him, get them back together again, should he win this one.
