But the problem for Marquez is, 'will he be able to catch Joel with them?' I'm not sure about that, so we'll see, but one thing I'm sure of is that if Joel catches Marquez with one of those that caught Kats, it'll be over for him - the legit 135lb power punches will be too much for featherweight Marquez...
Obviously, he did.
I've always said that Marquez is one of the best punchers today but hardly anyone took me seriously. I'd say he has the best straight/cross among boxers today. But I'm kinda dissappointed with Joel, though - I didn't expect him to go down with just one shot. What a pity...
Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
