I don't know if this is considered "passing the torch", probably more of a crossroads bout. It also couldn't be classed as a failure on the heir apprent's part, but JMM-Juan Diaz I was probably the most beautiful crossroads fight I've seen. Diaz poured it on and I started to question if Marquez could last the pace, but he gritted his teeth, threw sublime combinations and finished things with a huge "**** you" of a right uppercut.
