Izzy Vazquez solidifies his domination of Marquez in their trilogy tonight with a split decision. The real winners tonight were the fans who witnessed beautiful boxing and incredible back and forth action in the third fight between these hall of fame fighters. Marquez dropped Izzy in round 4 with a series of punches, but later in the round was on the retreat after Izzy turned the momentum around in his favor in a perfect candidate for round of the year. Vazquez returned the favor when he knocked Marquez down in the 12th, which the referee correctly counted as a knock down, even though him not stopping the fight cost me a few bucks with the sportsbook. All in all these two true warriors fought their hearts out over three fights, and I hope they take some time off after sacrificing so much of themselves for our glorious sport.

I was lucky enough to be in attendance and was able to snap this shot as Kelly was leaving the ring. I had the fight even going into round 11, and Pavlik sealed the deal by winning both the 11th and 12th round.

When Winky lands a good shot, he’ll give you a little nod to let u know he knows you felt it. Gotta love it:

Wow. While I expected Floyd to win, I never thought in a million years Floyd would win by KO. The whole event last night was surreal. Fans have been talking about this fight for several years. It finally happened and Floyd won in spectacular fashion. Hopefully we’ll see Floyd do the same thing to Miguel Cotto before he really retires for good.

Only about 26 hours remain until Floyd and Ricky face off in the ring. Ricky has become more favored, dropping from over +200 to +175. The bettors know this is going to be a close fight. I could see Ricky getting an early lead but around rounds 4 or 5 Floyd will take off and secure a 7-5 or 8-4 victory. It could be even closer. Tune in tomorrow on PPV, or our forum’s live round by round chat to find out what happens.

New from our very own poster “The Devil,” comes installment two of his video series. In this video, Jim “Father Of The Year” Lampley plays company man, hides behind Foreman, plugs upcoming shows, and commentates on Bowe-Golata riot for almost 20 minutes before attempting to locate his 16 year old daughter among the chaos and violence.

This is a classic clip posted up by our own poster “The Devil.” In this clip a Wayne McCullough fan interrupts Vodka Breath’s interview with Daniel Zaragosa and pays the price.

There’s a lot of heated discussion on our forum about Pavlik vs Taylor. This fight is pretty polarizing. One person in our forum iscomparing Pavlik to Baldomir. Others are calling Taylor a bum for his recent lackluster performances and inability to finish Joppy. Is Pavlik untested? Is he too one dimensional? Look at Daniel Edouard, the last guy who tried to stand toe to toe and bang with Jermain. He got knocked out in 3 rounds, but after all he is a turd. Will Pavlik’s freight train offense get to Taylor? Can Taylor use his jab and keep Pavlik away?
