Marquez should beat Diaz but when you reach Marquez age... you can get old overnight.

John should beat Juarez. He is the definition of a gatekeeper. He needs to let his hands go like no tomorrow if he want to win. It is his last chance for a title in my opinion.

Hopkins always loves to be in the limelight.

I have Marquez winning a close fight...I'll say majority decision. It's already my fight of the year candidate.

I hope John loses. He won't, but I hope he does.

And it's a draw. I had 8 rounds to 4 for John, granted they were pretty close. Kind of crazy to see all three judges scored 114-114. I wonder how many rounds are different on all three cards.

JMM did what he had too, accuracy and skill was the difference. Come on Manny

Great fight. Not to take anything away from Marquez's victory, which was a great victory, but if he leaves himself open that long in every round and putting himself on the ropes, he won't last long against Pacquiao in a third fight at 140.

Hell of a fight

JMM turned around that fight nicely. Diaz was looking good early but he got outboxed.

Marquez calling out Mayweather now...nice

That's just what's "in" now. It's what's hot. It's "the cool thing to do". Chris John did it on the undercard. Darchinyan did it after his last victory. Even the Klitschko brothers did it after their last victories. Haha...they didn't. At least I don't think they did. If they did, then that's just dumb.

Without question the fight of the year... and card of the year...

Damn... it was an epic fight.

Marquez has alot of mileage nowadays... he has to come down but damn.... what an epic win. He beat the man at his own game. It was a stunning knockdown and KO.

Who wouldn't want to see Marquez and Manny again? They bring out the best in each other.

Haha...anything change for you after the fight? I guess I'm impressed...I still don't like him. Again, how he ever beat Marquez still stuns me.

Marquez-John II...haha.
