Marquez v Vazquez
Marquez wins the jr Featherweight title by forcing Vazquez to quit on his stool at the end of the 7th. Great fight up to this point, shame about the somewhat anticlimatic finish!
Vazquez broke his nose early in the fight and was really taken to school by Marquez, who seemed like a man re-born. Sweet combinations continued to rain down on Vazquez in the early rounds, before the fight ended up in a stand up brawl. Towards the end of the fight Marquez was peppered with really brutal body shots! In fact the fight seemed to tilt Vazquez's way until he quit. Which made the end all the more disappointing!
It was a really exciting fight, with some of the best combination work(from both men) I have ever seen! The bout featured both boxing and brawling. Rounds 6-7 were real trench war-fare with Vazquez throwing big left hooks hunting for ribs with Marquez buzzing back with swift left hook-right cross combinations to the face!
Great fight! Cant wait for the re-match
