Yep.  +300 is awfully generous for how bad he has busted up Vazquez each time and buzzed him, though as said Vazquez has done more serious neurological damage.

Liked your angle in that other thread, I was going to post it there, but I will just post it here.  These fights have to have taken a lot out of each, see Castillo and Corrales as contemporaries, but most likely more out of Marquez.

Bute & YN took their guys out in fine fashion. Though I feel a little sorry for Joppy. Always liked him, and a 3 time Middleweight champ is no bad Career. Props to him for getting out, as some just can not escape the moth---->fire temptation of the limelight.

I'm hoping not to hear many bells tonight.

Vazquez -155 is my play. Not going crazy, but I do see value on this side. Even if Israel is badly cut, he'll be given a chance to hurt Marquez, which we all know he can do.

One of the best Trilogies in a long time, bad nite for me. -3 units.

I had IV winning 7-5, but that's 4 points on the deduction and the 10-8 KD to close the show.

I could stand to see Part IV.

Round 12 would have been scored 10-8 without the knockdown in my view. I'm astonished by Showtime's greed though in pressing already for a fourth fight. I would be appalled if Marquez's people allowed him to fight this man again.

Too cruel.  If that's the case then the promoters should be locked up with Vick.  That would be human version of dogfighting.

Nice cash.  I had Vasquez up by a point when the final bell rang, I scored the 12th 10-8, but I was probably going to do that without the KD; so I wouldn't argue if anyone scored it 10-7. 

I thought for a few seconds I had hit pay dirt in the 4th and few times after that.  Brutal night for me as a bettor, but a great night for boxing.  Unreal stuff.

1.06 units on Vazquez ITD (-106)

1 unit on Marquez ITD (+302)
1 unit on Marquez ITD (+292)

1.01 units on under 7.5 rounds (-101) in Marquez-Vazquez




Don't know what I can say that I and others haven't already said in other threads.  Unbelievable stuff, truly unbelievable.

I'm a BIG loser tonight, but yet I still have a euphoric feeling over my body for some reason.  I have never experienced so many emotions both as a bettor and boxing fan over the course of the fight.  I am mentally and physically exhausted from what I just watched, yet at the same time ready to go out and run a marathon.

I thought I had hit paydirt for a few seconds in the 4th, thought at numerous occasions the fight was 20-30 seconds from ending, hated that Marquez buzzed Izzy so late in a few rounds, watched Marquez's legs buckle a bit on several occasions, thought Marquez's career could be ending in the 12th, and then tore off my shirt as I thought that Russell was waving the fight off Richard Steele style and I was about to get a big break.

How this fight lasted the distance I will never know, these guys aren't human.  Please no more, they have already given boxing fans too much.

Sorry for the dramatic post, but it was fitting because this fight had more drama than the Emmy winner in the drama category.  Fight of the decade PERIOD, you would never see one of these guys take out their mouthpiece to buy time.

Congrats to all those who won on the fight in some fashion.  I hate that I lost so much, but I, like all boxing fans should consider it as a win to have watched this fight live.

I try not to curse.  Especially when typing, it doesn't make much sense.

It was hard to get mad anyway, yeah I lost.  I'll move on and come back, but I don't know if we will see another fight like that anytime soon.

I don't think wagerline does anything with boxing.
