Vasquez Vs. Marquez and Caballero Vs. Lacierva RBR

Rafael Marquez http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php...3019&cat=boxer
Vs.
Israel Vasquez http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php...9086&cat=boxer
This is the rematch after the first fight was stopped in the 7th due to a broken nose suffered by Vasquez. The broken nose came early on I believe and Vasquez had a problem with breathing through his nose. The fight was close and I feel Vasquez was coming on a bit. Marquez has a stiff jab that I think did most of the damage in the first fight. Vasquez could have a long night trying to work his way inside.

Vs.
Jorge Lacierva http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php...7936&cat=boxer
I dont know much about either of these two fighters. This is my first time seeing them both in a full fight. Caballero is real tall for a super bantamweight (5'11")and is a rangy boxer from what I've seen. Lacierva has a ko loss to Cruz Carbajal so I'm thinking this may end early....

Just make this a sticky mate and CC from me for doing this ;)

Just add the weighin photos and report...


The four fighters competing in the 122-pound world title fights tonight on Showtime at 9 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the west coast, made weight easily Friday.

Former WBC champion Israel Vazquez and defending WBC super bantamweight champion Rafael Marquez each weighed in at 121 pounds.

Challenger Jorge Lacierva tipped scale at 121 pounds, while reigning WBA 122-pound titleholder Celestino Caballero weighed 121 1/2.

In an eagerly awaited rematch, Marquez defends against Vazquez and Caballero risks his belt against Lacierva in the top fights of a six-bout card Saturday at Dodge Arena in Hidalgo, Tex.

The fight card is presented by Gary Shaw Productions and Sycuan Ringside Promotions in association with Golden Boy Promotions.

R. Marquez by KO. It'll be de javu all over again for Vasquez.

Thanks for the weigh in pics, I didnt see them earlier. I think Vasquez is gonna pull it off, this should go longer because Vasquez will be conscience of his nose. Damn, Caballero is way taller than Lacierva, should be interesting fights.

I'll be following your RBR as I watch the Morales fight, CC for the good work bro. I think Raf will have plenty to beat Vazquez again, but Caballero is a fighter I really like...he's just freakishly tall for that weight. So favourites all through for me I think :)

N.C you did a good job last time, I'll just be the last result. that idea you had about me and you doing two rbr and two different outcome is a good one, but sometimes we get too many people and the forum slows down so I will leave you to it. But I got your back bro, I'll be around. If you slow down or have problems I"ll help out somehow.
