Marquez IMO won the early rounds by using the jab to good effect, in the 4th he badly hurt Vasquez with a left hook and dropped him, but amazingly Vasquez got straight back up and staggered Marquez and then they both stood toe to toe and went at it like crazy men, after about round 6 Vasquez made it his kind of fight by landing good shots on the inside and Marquez was wearing down. The low pentalty for Marquez was BS he only landed a few low blows, and none of them wear south of the border they were all on the belt line, I had Vasquez losing coming into the 12th. But he come out like a raging pitbull and just swarmed all over Marquez and dominated him for the entire round. Marquez went down near the end of the round, only the ropes kept him up, the ref gave Marquez a standing 8 count and Marquez survived the round.

Vasquez won SD here were the judges scorecards.

114-111 Marquez, 114-111 Vasquez, 113-112 Vasquez.

The point deduction made a big difference.

Daxx you are going to love this fight.

One of the best trilogy I've seen.

What the hell was Marquez doing in 12th round?

Indeed. Was Rafa trying to pull a DelaHoya (DelaHoya-Trinidad last round) or what? He should've stayed aggressive.

That was Mexican boxing at it's purist.

Fantastic RBR sounds like it was a fantastic fight wonder when this will be shown in the UK have some REP ICB;D

what a fight from two warriors

Holy SH** what a fight to end the trilogy...maybe.
These two guys only had like 2 clinches in a twleve rounder(except for the 12th) and fought their asses off. One of the best trilogy matches all time without a doubt.
I read some remarks on Marquez' holding in the final. He was worn out BAD. Remember,he doesn't have the best chin or stamina. He is a KO artist boxer and depends on his jab. All Marquez had to do was to not get knocked down in the 12th and a draw was set for a fourth fight,which may happen anyway. This fight actually came down to the last round,winner of takes the fight. AWESOME stuff.
I did score a 113-113 draw with an even rd. 6 and a 9-9 rd. in the tenth for the low blow ded. for Marquez who was winning the round,imo.

The judges earned their pay last night, that was a real toughie to score, razor thin seperation between the two. These two are like Gatti-Ward with a higher skill level, just unbelieveable. Definately one of the best trilogy's all time, and it looks like its gonna continue. I dont know, but I think Vasquez deserves #1 P4P after that shit.

This was very good fight.I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I thought the low blow calls's were a bit harsh Marquez's thumb was hitting flesh on Vasquez where the rest of the glove landed I thought on the belt.I still think Marquez won in rounds but I had it even on points.Anyway great fight and why wouldn't they fight a fourth time.I'm sure everyone still would be interested with that after much contraversy in the end.

That was a fantastic fight! Very close, but I dont see how anyone can complain about the Vasquez decision. RM would've been brutally KO'd if the ref didnt give him the count. He was beat and battered from post to pillar the whole round.
