Fourth round is on YouTube, and it’s in the playlist. All you gotta do is click play above and the whole fight will play, in order.

The playlist thing didn’t work for me, but I did find the fourth round all the way down: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kho3r8f7JDM

RRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraly great stuf!
I beiieve Julio Ceasr Chavez, Sr. also was commenting behind the mike.
saw about 8 rounds of it. great fight. hernan marquez reminds me of a smaller jmm with bits of pacquiao combinations sprinkled in (southpaw). i kind of wrote him off after the nonito loss, but he was too small for that weight. Holler!

Round 3 was brutal to watch.
Concepcion had no defense against Marquez’s right.
Had it 95-90 Marquez at the time of stoppage.
It felt like watching Mayorga. No answer against the boxer, he just wanted to brawl. He even took daft punches in the face like him.
his whole strategy was to measure with his left and then load up a ridiculous right hand haymaker. It was sort of how a lot of guys play Fight Night…but it certainly was effective at times.

Great Fight!
Observations: What the f*ck was with the first round score on the TV card? 10-9? Did they spontaneously forget how boxing scoring works?
Man was Luis absolutely loading up on every single right and Marquez was calmly countering every time he missed. It was beautiful to watch. Luis had no head movement and made the Klitschkos look like Mayweather in terms of moving out of the way of any punch coming toward his head. In fact it was classic when Marquez would start with a left hook to the body so that Luis would drop his hands and then pound the head. Perfect!
Luis looked like one of those Jersey Shore d-bags and watching him get his ass beat was pretty sweet, but I wanted Luis to see the fight out and didn’t like the stoppage too much. Seemed like Luis had some momentum at the end of the 10th and it would be interesting to see him building on it. Could the ref almost ignore the doctor and say to Luis ‘Show me something or else the fight is going to be stopped’ ?

I had the first round 9-8 Concepcion. I’m not sure that is how it should be scored but personally, I hate 10-10 rounds.
I think the highest possible score they could give is 9-9 because of the two knockdowns and i guess it isn’t of any consequence since all that matters is difference but come on.

In the “10 point must system” – the winner of the round MUST receive 10 (unless there’s a penalty deduction). If both fighters score a knockdown – and a judge believes the round was even – it’s 10-10, and not 9-9. If both fighters score a knockdown, but a judge feels one had the edge, than the score is 10-9, not 9-8. The only way it can be 9-9, or 9-8, etc… is if there is a penalty point taken from one of the fighters for a foul.

Great to know! In that case I would score it a 10-9 round.

I wondered if the tide might have been about to turn too, and kind of disagreed with the ring doctor—Concepcion clearly wanted to fight on badly, and it seemed like he could see. That said, the rules are usually that only the ref can stop the fight, although in some US states either of the Dr. or the ref can do so. But, can you imagine as a trainer/manager/promoter letting your charge into a ring with a ref that sent a fighter back into the ring against medical advice? They’d throw every hissy in the world to avoid it, and rightly so. Such that the ref would be working a lot less. Like Mercante Jr.

I wasn't sure before
But now I know I need to learn Spanish. There can’t be any way better to hear a sporting event.
How true that is
Those guys were enthusiastic. On the other hand, it was fun understanding it without understanding it, if that makes any sense.

As a native Spanish speaker, what I enjoy the most about listening to a broadcast like that is the regionalisms. Even though Spanish is my native language, they say a lot of things that I find strange and hilarious. At the same time, as BoxAnne says, the enthusiasm is contagious. Even if the thrill of the fight is not enough for you, the commentators will bring you in!
