Vazquez vs. Marquez & Mares vs. Perez RBR

Thankfully they weren't hurt seriously, thats the best, I'm glad they got a payday, amazing guys, hope they dont need another payday.

 

this cut is right there with Vitali's in the Lenox fight

 

Jesus christ that cut is terrible

 

So you would basically prefer Marquez to intentionally NOT target the eyes, and deliberately target the chin and the body instead, because this way he would make it 'a bit more sporting'? If a fighter comes to fight having a bad tooth, should his opponent avoid hitting him in the face because it wouldn't be honourable?

The thing is, team Vasquez knew the man had water-balloon sockets that would basically explode on contact, yet they took the fight. I agree on one thing with you, this fight shouldn't have been made in the first place. But since they put Vasquez in there, Marquez had every right to hit him anywhere he wanted and take him out of there, as he did.

 

**** that,Marquez was down 2-1 he needed to do what he needed to do to win boxing isnt a team sport its a "I" sport so Vasquez's face and eyes was legal so he pounded on it like any champion should have.And the cuts are only part of the reason he won his gameplan was better he used his jab,and he was sharper,and vasquez didnt look like the same guy,someones bound to slow down from those wars,Marquez just figured out how to beat a great 1 dimensional fighter.

 

Every fighter is a result of his past fights and experiences, what he becomes is just the total package of all these.

Rafa has fought Izzy three times. Of course he knows Izzy's strengths as well as his weaknesses, he knows Izzy cuts badly. Targeting the part of his head where it would do most damage is just like choosing whether to go to the body or the head, which will do more damage and be more consistent with his game plan going in.

It's well known Izzy has near-granite chin, in fact it coupled with his warrior heart is what has enabled him to win twice over Rafa. Should Rafa unload his bombs on the chin, where he knows from past experience wouldn't net him the effect he would have wanted, or on the general eye area where he knows Izzy cuts real badly?

It's part of the fight game, and I for one don't find anything indecent or dishonorable with that kind of strategy.

 

OK. So you think Marquez didn't fight an honourable fight.

If you were in Marquez's position, would you intentionally target the body and the chin instead of the eyes? Please answer truthfully.

PS: Don't know if you read it, I gave your girl kudos for knowing her boxing earlier in the thread. :yep

 

I agree with IB.. I know why he'd do it.. but it ain't the fight we wanted to see.

 

So the **** what if it makes you unhappy,boxing is a pain sport,this isnt ****ing golf,we dont watch it because it is sporting,we watch it for the technique and brutality,Marquez's technique and brutality was excellent,you dont win by being a nice guy,get real.
