And that 12th round. I've never seen a round so thoroughly dominated. Even without the knockdown I might have scored it 10-8.
No it wasn't nothing like Chavez vs Taylor IMO, it actually reminded me of Bobby Chacon vs Rafael Limon 4, where Chacon was down in the 4th like Vasquez was. And he knocked Limon down in the last round and that knockdown won him the fight on the scorecards similar to how Vasquez's knockdown of Marquez in the last round won him the fight.
