Finally became an Israel Vazquez fan

[Gandalf]

Vasquez fought a GREAT second half...absolutely timesless fight and one for the ages. There is nothing not to like about Vasquez.

been a vasquez fan for quite some time. remembering when he fought johnny gonzalez takes me back because alot of people were rooting for gonzalez. I don't know if i was the only one rooting for vazquez but i know a champion when i see one.

Now let us forward to the present time when i also rooted for vazquez on the first fight between vazquez and marquez. I've always said that vasquez is just too good on the inside.Marquez on the first fight controlled the fight with his jabs beginning of the first through maybe third or fourth round. when he started coming in and not keeping the distance that's when Israel came in and dropped him. although Rafael came back and started jabbing again and made vasquez nose look really bad and stop the fight it was o.k.
it was a great fight.

Second match was better. once agian we go back on how good vasquez is on the inside. i knew it was only matter of time that marquez would bit and get to the inside which eventually happen and you all know the rest.

Third fight this SAT. what a beautiful fight it was. good control by marquez first half but once again during all 3 fights vasquez comes with explosiveness in the last rounds. Always coming forward and not retreating like he did during all 3 fights.

Bravo to both men take nothing away from Marquez but a TRUE champion moves forward and fights for their belt. whatever the outcome maybe he always giving pressure to make sure the belt is going to stay with him. Unlike other fighters................boo 2 you.
