Round 1: Marquez is 2-0 out of Kansas City, Missouri. Harris is 4-0 out of Wichita, Kansas. Our ref is Rob Hinds. Both men are wearing white trunks and have mohawks, but Harris has the red gloves and Marquez the blue. Both men seem eager to engage. Snapping body shot with a leg kick. Marquez prefers to let his hands go and his biceps suggest it's his favorite weapon. He keeps trying to push Harris to the outer circle but Harris resets well and opens up with his hands in the exchanges even when counter striking.

Round 2: Both men enthusiastically touch gloves and get right back to the stand-up war. Marquez presses Harris into the fence at 46 seconds.

I give Harris another very slim 10-9 round.

Round 3: Marquez' corner tells him to go out and finish - they may think he's behind too. He certainly seems to be more cut up as their respective corners work on their injuries. Both men hug 3 seconds into the round in a show of respect for the war they've had. Marquez rushes Harris into the fence at 59 seconds but there's no takedown to follow. Marquez gets turned around into the fence to eat more knees and elbows. He's bleeding heavily now and left a streak of blood across Harris' trunks. He's half out of it but still 100% dangerous. He lumbers forward and is momentarily on top of Harris as he slips, but Harris recovers and hurts Marquez with a short elbow standing. Marquez hands are all the way down by his waist. He's wildly flinging out uppercuts on a prayer. Harris picks his shots. Marquez gets cracked with a left at 4:08 and he comes forward with rights and uppercuts hoping to land one big shot. Harris blocks 60% of strikes and counters 35%, so the 5% Marquez connects with aren't enough. Harris should get the decision. The crowd erupts and both men hug as the fight ends.

Final result: The judges score this contest 29-28, 30-27 and 30-27 all for Harris by unanimous decision.
