I had the fight for Marquez by 1 round, but a 10-7 twelfth would have made it a draw on my card.
I'd say yes. Round 12 was such a thorough domination by Vasquez that without the knockdown I might have scored it 10-8. There wasn't a second that Marquez did anything remotely like mounting an offense. When he wasn't holding on to Vasquez for dear life he was getting pounded. And if it weren't for the ringpost Vasquez would have launched him into the upper deck at the end. What Vasquez did was how you close a show.
