I am pleasantly surprised to see Vazquez-Marquez get the votes.

For me it's one for a majority of reasons. First off, all 3 fights were FOTY quality. Most trilogies have at least some dull action. Vazquez-Marquez, you have basically the calm before the storm for 2 rounds before the carnage. And the calm in Vazquez-Marquez is still bettter then 90% of any other fights out there.

Also, and this is a big one for me, each fight was better then the last imo. The first was something a lot of us boxing fans were looking forward to, we got a fight for the ages. The second was obviously something everyone looked forward to again, and we got an even better fight. Usually the second fights are the lulls. Morales-Barrera, Frazier-Ali, Gatti-Ward all had less then spectacular 2nd fights. Vazquez-Marquez II was fight of the year.

Then everyone looked forward to the third, everyone. The anticipation was insane, and what do they do? They have what is imo, the best fight of the trilogy and by far the most dramatic ending. The last round of the fight, the last round of the trilogy and Vazquez forces a standing eight to take the split decision. That's stuff that if they wrote into Rocky VII we would all roll our eyes. You really can not beat that trilogy. It's one of the best fights I've ever seen and as a collective this is the best trilogy. Just kept getting better and better until they finally ran out of rounds to fight.
