Cannot wait for this one. With everyone saying how Cotto-Mosley, Calzaghe-Kessler & Hatton-Mayweather could each win FOTY, let's not forget what two great battles Vazquez & Marquez have already given us! I for one wouldn't be surprised if Marquez-Vazquez 2 was given the vote for FOTY. I expect Israel to emerge victorious. I just think he hits too hard for Marquez. One thing's for sure & that is both will give their absolute best. If victorious, I expect Vazquez to move-up. Israel has stated his desire to face Manny Pacquaio. That's another matter entirely though. One of my favourite fighters is Vazquez.
Like i have said before Vasquez-Marquez are the Morales-Barrera of this generation. I cant wait for this fight the first and second both deserve fight of the year. This are two guys that fans come first to them and thats the type of fighter i appreciate. My prediction right now is Marquez by 10th round Stoppage or maybe UD. Vasquez just has a great chin and he can take all that rafa can dish out at him however the ref will step in. The problem with my prediction is that we have to wait to see what rafa comes in. If he comes to box he has the fight in the bag. but if he comes to trade then i have it for Vasquez. He definately has the more durable chin. I just hope both of these guys arent affected by this fight like alot of fighters are after going through tough wars.
