Marquez is a counter puncher but he does take some to give some. Not to a great extent but he does. He's never been KO'd but he's been dropped plenty more then Rafa recently. Against better competiton but still...

Different types of defense, Rafa is a lot more cagey and uses his arms more while JMM is more slippery. But I do have to see more JMM. I've heard before that Naz ducked JMM but I haven't seen anything before 2003 against Smoke. The only exciting Gainer fight I've ever seen.
Tip top.

Totally dug on the Gainer fight myself.

You really REALLY should see the Peden fight. Juan smoked his ass like a stoggie.
