Honestly at this point I think Marquez has more left in the tank and will even the score with a late ko. But dont get me wrong Vazquez will make it a fight, until the accumulation damage catches up to him. Marquez Tko11 Vazquez.
What weight class will they fight in? I feel Vasquez is the naturally bigger guy and can take hard punches better than Rafael. I think Israel gets the 4th one.
Damn good deal considering you're getting to see two future hof boxers take part in a rare modern part 4 match. Im stuck in sicily till june so I have to miss alot of matchups like this, I doubt ill even be able to see it live unless theres a stream.
Yeah, when exactly was the last time two name fighters went for a fourth fight? I can't even think of a modern one right off hand.
I've bet on Raffy in all three fights so far - and I'm doing so again. Although they've both been through hell with each other, I think the trilogy has taken more out of Vasquez. I've always thought Marquez is the more skilled fighter - his jab is beautiful and he has the power to hurt Izzy. The problem in fights two and three (even though I scored the third for Raffy) was that Vasquez was so relentless he was able to weather the storm and keep pressuring Marquez to the end. I don't think he'll be able to this time. The jab will win the early rounds then when Izzy tries to push through, Raffy's power shots will put him down.
I think this ones at feather. Izzy can take a damn good punch. But I pick Marquez because I think the surgeries have taken just enough out of his game to give Marquez just a little bit more of an edge.
Thats a good question as far as modern fights are concerned. Im gonna try to find one. And for currently active fighters, are there any, say in the top 100 of anyone's list, that have 4 fights with another figher in that top 100?
Ah nice, that one slipped my mind. I remembered thinking how not too many top rated boxers have four fights after their 4th match (the draw).
