I agree that this trilogy will definetely shave off a couple years of their career and puts the chances of brain damage way too high up there. These guys do deserve million dollar plus money for their entertainment value. Both leave it all out in the ring. Fighting as elite pound for pound fighters will all their might and absolute skill for the championship. This fight is just as significant or more than any of other big fights of this year. Rafael and Israel deserve the appreciation of the entire boxing world.
I cannot wait for their 3rd fight. This should turn out to be a top 1-3 greatest trilogy ever. They wanted to make it in Mexico. Imagine if they did it in that huge bullfighting arena with Marquez and Vasquez fighting outside in front of crowd of around 50,000 like gladiators. :shock: That would be the greatest setup for a match ever. I hope their final match is a little more technical with more precise punching (like MAB-JMM) rather than brawling. I think the proper ending to a war like this would be a 12 round match with someone winning a clear decision after they both hit the canvas. Ahh.. I can't wait. :happy These are the guys who deserve DLH money! It pisses me off that Oscar can rob a shitty fighter in Sturm after a boring match and get paid milions for it while these guys who give everything they have get paid a fraction of what he makes.
This is what is sad about what the little guys get paid..... .....the fighters make mincmeat compared to what the promoters pocket!:-( Marquez and Vasquez put their heart and soul to the competition and fight with such passion, and yet they get paid peanuts when I believe the money is there for them to get paid more!:-( After the two fights they just gave us, do both these guys not deserve at least a half million? I think they deserve alot more, but at least make it worth their while......these little guys go in thier and pummel eachother for out entertainment, and they're sent home with peanuts in comparison to what the promoters take home.
