On The Third Day of Christmas, we couldn’t do better than bring you the gift-wrapped bonanza of frenetic action that is the third round of the second Donnybrook between Israel Vázquez and Rafael Márquez.

Three knockdowns and the three times. It seems as if the fight should end, but instead, both warriors continue to rise to exchange more ferocious power blows.
