People not talking about this fight shows the problem with boxing,far far far far too many fights over hyped and the fights which SHOULD be getting the hype don't. No one can name me ANY HBO fight last year,that was PPV or otherwise which was as potentially as exciting as this, 2 RING champs(people ALWAYS YAMMER ON AND ON about RING,now 2 champs are fighting,no one says anything), 2 guys unbeaten in ages,power punchers,good technical skills,Mexican warriors,and...fwock all from fans!INCREDIBLE...

Anyway,I'm leaning towards Israel although I like Rafa better. I think Rafa can keep him on the outside and may try to do so for a while but sooner or later,it'll turn into a war and I think Isreal wins on the inside.

Mark Johnson was landing bombs on Rafa in their fights on the inside,and if Israel lands the same amoutn of punches,I don't think RAFA will be able to survive. Also,Isreals punchs are shorter and more compact,Rafa's are slightly longer and again,on the inside,that could prove to be the winner for Vazquez. I really like both guys though,probably pound4pound top 3 in terms of most under rated.


Where does the winner go P4P? I'd say rather high!!!
