Review: 2011-07-16, the result of the fight between Rafael Marquez and Eduardo Becerril was obvious: Marquez ranked as the #8 in the world (boxrec featherweight division) while Eduardo Becerril as the #400, in fact the Mexican boxer defeated Becerril by TKO too easily. (Rafael Marquez fought before his brother’s fight Juan Manuel Marquez vs Likar Ramos). Watch the video!
Review: 2010-11-06, Juan Manuel Lopez (29-0-0) had won the WBO featherweight title at the beginning of 2010 against Steven Luevano and in this fight he defended his belt versus Rafael Marquez (39-5-0). The bout was really exciting and could have won the title of “fight of the year”. At the end of the eighth round the match is stopped because Rafael Marquez was unable to continue to fight (shoulder injury) and “Juama” Lopez successfully defended for the second time his world title.

Review: 2008-03-01, the third fight between Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez should have been the decisive one, as both had won once in the previous two fighting. Like the second match between the two (in 2007), this one won the title of “Fight of the Year” (by Ring Magazine), even if for example we have preferred the fight between Casamayor and Katsidis or other 5-star fights of 2008. Rafael Marquez knocked down Vazquez in the fourth round but at the end of this balanced and spectacular fight the winner is “Magnifico” Vazquez. Watch the video!
Review: 2007-08-04, Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez have faced twice in 2007, but the best fight between the two is the second, winner of the title “fight of the year” (Ring Magazine). Vazquez (41-4-0) had lost the first fight and wanted to regain his WBC super bantamweight title. This second fight was certainly a great battle and the third round was also named “round of the year” by Ring Magazine. Watch the video!
