About Israel Vasquez

Vazquez, in 2006, was involved in the Fight of the Year by overcoming two trips to the canvas to stop Johnny Gonzalez in dramatic fashion. Then last year, his August revenge victory over Rafael Marquez, the brother of Juan Manuel, was the consensus choice for 2007's best battle. Round three of Rafael Marquez vs Israel Vasquez 2 is considered by many to be best round for 2007. Vasquez in their third meet last March 2008 won by a split decision. The Marquez vs Vasquez rivalry is regarded as one of the most exciting trilogy of their weight class.
