The best thing about that knockdown was right before...Marquez had Marco on the brink of a knockdown himself...but Barrera being the great champion he is...found something deep down to counter and knock Marquez down. Great fight.

Same here . Barrera dominated the action early and Marquez' biggest mistake was trying to take Barrera out. I think he was just starting to get into the fight when he hurt Barrera then he tried to end it and walked onto a big punch . After that he was dazed for afew rounds but I think he finished stronger than Barrera . He had more in the tank at the end but on my scorecard Barrera was a 1 point winner. ( would have been larger if Nady didnt mess up in teh 6th)
You mean the 7th?

Barrera was winning the fight by the 7th round but the whole miss by Nady did cause a big difference. If the knockdown had counted, I would've had the fight as a draw... It would've just been a 9-9 round instead of a 10-8 in favor of Marquez.
