Israel Vazquez secured a split decision victory over his rival Rafael Marquez to win the rubber match in what some are calling the most thrilling fight of their celebrated trilogy. I don't know enough about the sweet science to offer an opinion, but if the final round is any indication, these are some mean hombres:
That was exciting. Anyway, if they made a movie called A Day Without Mexicans in Fighting Sports, it would look a lot like the lame tap-outs offered by UFC. If you're interested in that sort of thing, video of Dan Henderson succumbing to Anderson Silva is after the jump. -KD

boxing > mma? really?
if you're going to show "the most thrilling fight" of those two and then compare it to mma, at least compare it to the gonzaga/crop cop fight or something.
actually, boxing >>>>>>>>>> mma. what a final round. i nearly pissed my pants.
Guess you missed the Klitchko-Ibragamov fight. Boxing sucks.
Didn't people used to get knocked out in boxing?
The Klitchko-Ibragamov did lick balls. No one likes a heavy weight champion to be 'calculating.' The Pavlik-Taylor rematch was decent but nowhere near as good as the one in the clip.
yea mma is way better then boxing,
who doesnt get hyped when two muscular, half naked men dripping with sweat are grinding against each other in such hypnotic motions,
And that would be different from boxing how?
because in boxing guy dont grind on each other on the floor they dont rub their hips while writhing on the floor
The difference is that MMA could double as a trailer for gay porn. Without all the hugging the matches last 30 seconds.
All you guys who say MMA is "gay" just come out and admit that you had a bit of stiffy while watching the Silva v. Henderson clip… maybe you need to seriously consider if MMA is gay or maybe it's just you.
it is homo erotic, there is no doubt its a fact
i understand you like it its ok, but its a fact there are a lot of homo erotic moments, which is why i dont watch it at all,
oh and compare the best mma fights against the best boxing fights and its not even comparable
Wow, that's "thrilling"? i can't imagine how a normal non thrilling fight goes.
