BT:  We've got the new 122 pound WBC champ, Rafael Marquez here on BoxingTalk.  Rafael give us your thoughts tonight on your fight against Vasquez. "Israel Vasquez is a geat champion.  He got me in the third round.  He showed his quality at that time, but I showed my quality.   When I got up, because of the great conditioning that I have, I got up and won this fight."

BT:  Describe what happened, in that 3rd round it looked like you had Vasquez in trouble, then you got caught.  What happened there?

RM:  It was a big mistake, because I knew I had him. I let my hand down, when I wasn't supposed to, and he got me, but I got up and won this fight.

BT:  From the beginning of the fight it looked like  you were out jabbing him superbly.  Was the whole game plan to come in there and out jab Vasquez?

RM:   To win a fight, it's not only the jab.  There are combinations and other punches.  It seemed like that jab was hitting straight to his face, so that's why he continued to jab. 

BT:  Do you now vacate the IBO IBF 118 pound title?

RM:  Yes, now I'm a world champion for 122, and I want to sweep the division at 122.  Obviously, I need to prepare myself twice as hard for whatever comes.

BT:  Last question, the next time we see you in the ring again, will it be against Vasquez, too?

RM:  Probably.  First, I would like Israel Vazquez to get well.  For me, I might do another fight before fighting Israel Vazquez, but I don't know yet. 

BT:  Thank You very much, congratulations.
