Vazquez vs. Marquez Trilogy To Air on Showtime, March 28th

SHOWTIME Sports will delve into its rich archive of historic boxing events to re-air the epic Israel Vázquez vs. Rafael Márquez trilogy this Saturday, March 28 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on SHOWTIME. The telecasts will also be available via the SHOWTIME streaming service and SHOWTIME ANYTIME®.
The fierce Mexican rivals squared off in three consecutive award-winning fights which aired live on SHOWTIME in 2007 and 2008 before meeting for a fourth and final time in 2010. The first three bouts were all contested with the WBC Super Bantamweight World Championship on the line.
Described by the network’s Hall of Fame analyst Steve Farhood as, “an explosion of artistic brutality,” Vázquez-Márquez I was a unanimous selection for 2007 Fight of the Year and left the fans and fighters clamouring for a rematch. The two warriors delivered yet again in their second meeting just five months later in another bloody slugfest that produced a Round of the Year winner and a result that demanded a rubber match. Vázquez-Márquez III, contested just 363 days from their first meeting, was the only match in the rivalry to go the distance and was named the 2008 Fight of the Year.
During Saturday night’s re-airing of the trilogy, combat sports analysts Luke Thomas and Brian Campbell will host a live episode of the duo’s popular digital talk show, MORNING KOMBAT WITH LUKE THOMAS AND BRIAN CAMPBELL on the Morning Kombat YouTube Channel. Thomas and Campbell will watch and react to the fights in real time and conduct a Q&A session with fans.
The Vazquez-Marquez series was called by the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® announce team, all four members of the International Boxing Hall of Fame: host and play-by-play from Steve Albert, popular ringside analyst Al Bernstein, Emmy Award winning reporter Jim Gray and world renowned ring announcer Jimmy Lennon Jr.
“We all knew the first fight would be great, and it more than lived up to expectations,” said Bernstein, who called all four fights. “The second fight was exciting, and when fight three came, I didn’t think they could top Nos. 1 and 2, but they did just that. It’s one of the top five fights I’ve ever announced or seen. The ebb and flow was tremendous, and you almost felt it didn’t matter who ended up getting the decision because they both had been so great. I can’t admire two boxers more than these two men.”
Fans new to SHOWTIME® who sign up through the recently announced 30-day free trial before May 3 can watch these fights, the network's original series, documentaries, specials and movies online via the SHOWTIME streaming service on SHOWTIME.com or the SHOWTIME app, available on all supported devices.

Which was the best of the trilogy
the 3rd
choc who didnt have issues with margarito?..except maybe mosley lol..margarito was a motherfukker to fight
I personally think Margarito was shot after the first Cotto fight. He took a lot of clean shots to pull that off.
He looked terrible against Mosley. Mosley did his part as well but Tony really looked awful.

The better more interesting mythical match up is Pac vs Mayorga.
Tito is just too big, too quick, too athletic, too strong and powerful for Pac imo. His pressure is crazy and he gets better as he goes. Plus he never lost a fight to a nikka smaller than him. You had to be at least Tito size or bigger for him to even respect your boxing skills. During his peak his left hook was one of the most devastating punches in the sport. The way nikkas fawn over Wilder's right hand, nikkas was speaking like that on Tito's left hook that actually bodied real opps. No career mode made up real life digitized nikkas sprawled across his resume.
Back to Pac vs Mayorga. I think Pac can light up Ricardo but will be dragged into a dog fight where he wins a close maybe controversial decision.

Styles make fights and i think Pac had a style that could trouble Tito. Now, i believe Tito wins, but not slumping Pac in 6 rounds
And like I said, Tito GONNA get hit too. His chin wasn't sturdy at all
