What a great fight ... I'll go against the grain and say it was not a quick stoppage at all ... when Marquez moved off the ropes and stumbled backwards towards that corner he was absolutely out of it. He lives to fight and lives period because he didn't take 7 to 8 more punches that would have finished it anyways. When a guy is that hurt early is better than late. The way he stumbled reminded me a lot of the way Burgos stumbled against Darchinyan.

You can throw out whatever names you want when you talk about heart, none of them have anything on Vazquez. From the Jhonny Gonzalez fight where he was down twice, to the fights with Larrios, to these two. But like I've said before warrior and heart are only used when you get hit a lot.

Caballero is a joke .. he should get as far away from Marquez or Vazquez as he can. FWIW I had it 115-112 as I thought Caballero won the two rounds in the first 6, and Lacierva only won one of the last 6. Throw in the penalty point and you have 115-112. Ugly fight though. Ref had his hands full. 116-110 was a joke.
