Until then, his name can still belong with the 126/130 elite, and an impressive performance on saturday will go some way to getting him another title fight.
I'm not being a smart a**...but seriously...did you see that fight?

Marquez lost...if I remember correctly 2 points for low blows that were borderline. He landed one low blow & then every other body shot near the belt the Indo's & the ref squeled over.

I'm with you that he took John lightly...but I'm not in agreement with the loss.
I know your not being a smart a**, and yes I watched the fight and the low blows were questionable, if there were no deductions then on my card he'd have won by a round, so in that respect I guess he never lost, but JMM should have been a little smarter, he should have seen that the ref was calling em low and given him no excuse to deduct. Thats the nature of boxing away. Sometimes his boxing can be deemed as passive even though its beautiful and effective, it isn't the type that poor judges want to see. I hate it too wack, but you have to box to win, and that means adapting to the environment, if it means taking risks then you should. John performed well, and he knew what he should be doing to get the rounds. If the fight was in the US then I think it would have been a clear UD for JMM.
Agreed. Marquez should have taken it into account...but I suppose that sometimes...it's hard enough to concentrate on one man in the ring instead of two.

I also agree that you have to fight to win...either way...Marquez should have turned it up another gear & he'd be fine.

Good points D.
