Marquez won! That's all.
Hahaha!
Ok, serious now.
Juan Manuel Marquez defeated Joel Casamayor via a knockout in the 11th round for the Ring Magazine Lightweight Championship match. Marquez won the belt on Mexico’s Independence day, September 13, in Las Vegas.
I did not get the chance to watch the fight from start to finish...only the finish. LOL. Yeah, the 11th round was spectacular. You couldn't predict who would win. Marquez lands solid but few punches. Casamayor throws a lot of punches but only a few connected. The upper hand continuously shifted between the two fighters. However, when Casamayor was cut in the right brow, the fight clearly shifted to Marquez's favor. Marquez, seeing the advantage, threw a lot of hooks and uppercuts to the increasingly disoriented Casamayor. The latter could barely protect himself with the lightning fast combinations with which Marquez's threw out his punches. I think it was the left hook in the jaw that did it for the Cuban boxer.
It was a good fight (seing I enjoyed the last round!haha!). Congratulations to Juan Manuel Marquez for winning the Lightweight Championship match. What a good way to celebrate Mexico's Independence Day.
