AUGUST 4: MARQUEZ vs VAZQUEZ - MONEY MAKER MAKING LITTLE SENSE... by George Elsasser
I watched as others the first Rafael Marquez- Israel Vazquez championship blistering barn-burner - a classic coin flipper after seven rounds of accurate power punching combinations - still, it came as no surprise when Vazquez could no longer do battle because of what was confirmed as a busted beak.
