Vazquez vs. Marquez III

The fight series between super bantamweight superstars Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez has already drawn favorable comparisons to boxing’s great rivalries – Ali vs Frazier, Barrera vs Morales, Zale vs Graziano, and Gatti vs Ward. Each combatant has one fight apiece, the only way to settle the score is with a third, and on Saturday, March 1st, at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., boxing’s latest classic trilogy will come to an end when Vazquez puts his WBC and Ring Magazine World super bantamweight titles on the line in a 12 round bout against the man he won it back from, Marquez. It seems as these two will end each others respected career's, watching them gives you an indication that it's not about the money. If you paid the two a purse of $5 each you would've witnessed the same exact fights!

"Vazquez vs. Marquez III is one of the most anticipated fights in years and based on the first two fights, March 1st should be a night for fight fans to remember," said Oscar de la Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions. Here are the highlights of the punishment these two have put each other through.
