The majority disagree with you on this one - Including both fighters, Hell even Vasquez is saying Marquez could have survived the round....but he still feels he would have taken him out within the next couple.....(which he very well may have).
The notion that Marquez was a few punches from death is serious hyperbole drama -
It was a great fight......But a champion and P4P Top-10 fighter should be given more than the benefit of the doubt before a Ref jumps in and waves it off.......Having watched it several times now....I believe the stoppage was a little early and it seems all involved (and that includes the Ref) are saying as much.
Either way.....The third fight between these two is going to be great. A real "pick'em" - I'd expect Marquez to box a little more early before going for the KO -
