Rounds 1 and 2 were simply a showcase of pinpoint accuracy that Marquez had to offer. Imposing his will on Katisidis every step of the way and engaging in brutal combination battles with him. Yet in the third round all seemed to even out when Katisids landed a dynamite punch of his own.. a left hook to the chin of marquez (now becoming his obvious achillies heel) which brought him down to the canvas. After the follwed 8 count, Katisids smelled redemption and began engaging in even stronger more brutal exchanges with the WBO, WBC champ. However, as the old story goes, beware of the patience of a patient man, Marquez only seemed to grow and become more wreckless after that knock out, nearly evening the round. The rest of the fight was like that a scripted movie, yet far more intriguing, far more more exciting, and far more jaw dropping. Katisidis battled with as a big a heart as you've ever seen him, but Marquez battled with as big a purpose as ever; wanting that elusive third fight with Manny Paquiao. Throwing left hook after right hook, left uppercut after right uppercut, jab after jab, Marquez did it all. When the 9th round came and after Marquez began disinigrating Katsidis with obvious command and power punching, Kenny Bahlies stepped in and called a halt to the bout. An exciting display of heart, pride and willingness, this fight has to be fight of the year without doubt; like i called it to be. Marquez remains my favorite fighter of all time of my generation.
"What you just said is one of the most insanely, idiotic things i have ever heard. At no point in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."

In Other Fight News..
Last Night's Marquez v Lopez fight was just what I expected and anticipated. Knowing that Marquez is a warrior and Juanma is out trying to prove himself, I had no doubt that this fight would bring fireworks, and it did. Great exchanges between both fighters, who both had the chance to finish each other off in the early rounds [had me losing my voice from the punches and combinations both fighters gave out] But in the end Juanma proved to be the more younger, stronger and more powerful of the two. Marquez put up a valiant effort but couldn't make it to the 9th round due to a shoulder injury, giving Juan Manuel Lopez a TKO win. Juanma showed an exceptional chin, taking Marquez's shots and countering with some ferocious shots of his own. He also surprisingly out 'combo'd' the future hall of fame Marquez. Juanma has set his place in the forefront of the division and now possibly sets up another anticipated fight with up and comer Yoriorkis Gamboa, my goodness. Great fight and possible 'Fight of the Year' candidate.
Buenas Mañanas!
