Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2002-05-17, great performance by both boxers with some tough exchanges and an amazing second part of the fight: we want to thank “Dustin Camp” who recommended this bout to us in the 2002 boxing ranking because Oscar Larios vs Israel Vazquez 2 gets four stars!Israel Vazquez entered this fight with a professional boxing record of 32-2-0 (23 knockouts) while his opponent, Oscar Larios, had an official record of 43-3-1 (31 knockouts). Vazquez had lost to Marcos Licona in 1999 but since then he had collected 12 consecutive victories while Larios was defeated by Willie Jorrin in 2001 and then he had won four bouts. In their first fight Vazquez had beat Larios in just one round (April 12, 1997); this second fight was valid for the interim WBC World super bantamweight title. Watch the video and rate this fight!
Review: 2007-08-04, Israel Vazquez and Rafael Marquez have faced twice in 2007, but the best fight between the two is the second, winner of the title “fight of the year” (Ring Magazine). Vazquez (41-4-0) had lost the first fight and wanted to regain his WBC super bantamweight title. This second fight was certainly a great battle and the third round was also named “round of the year” by Ring Magazine. Watch the video!
