VAZQUEZ WINS RUBBERMATCH WITH MARQUEZ!
By Salven L. Lagumbay PhilBoxing.com Sun, 02 Mar 2008
Israel Vazquez has just won the rubbermatch against Rafael Marquez after what is easily going to be a Fight of the Year candidate seconds ago at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California.
Vazquez eked out a hard-fought split decision verdict, sealing it with a knockdown over Marquez in the final round to emerge victorious in two judges' scorecards 114-111 and 113-112 while the third judge saw it for Marquez 114-111.
It was a fitting finale to the rivalry between these two future Hall of Fame candidates.
With the win, Vazquez now solidifies a possible encounter with superstars Manny Pacquiao or Marco Antonio Barrera in the near future.
