How do you guys see it going? People are citing Mayweather's shutout as grounds for a Pacquiao annihilation but you can argue that Mayweather presents the worst style possible for Marquez. Marquez has performed well recently (Katsidis) demonstrating that he's maintained his physical faculties to a high level. The question I believe comes down to whether Pacquiao's physical development through moving up in weight means he will be able to 'overwhelm' Marquez when his punches land. If Marquez fights cautiously I think he could pose serious questions.
I think Pacquiao will stop him. I would like to see an epic war and Marquez to get the nod this time, but I think Pacquiao will be patient and finish it whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Pac's got too much respect to go for the kill - see the Margarito fight. Ref will step in around the 8th.
Pacquiao will stop him. Marquez claims to have managed the weight better this time and learned from the Floyd fight but i just thing he is gonna get overwhelmed. He needed the 3rd fight shortly after the 2nd to have had a real chance of beating Pacquiao. But to much has happened since. Pacquiao has become a different beast since the David Diaz fight. Physically he looks huge compared to Marquez, looks so much quicker with hand and foot speed and his technique has improved so much. It will be interesting for a few rounds because Marquez is a proud warrior but the punches he feels from Manny this time won't be anything like the ones at super feather and im not sure he will be able to take to many of them.
Agree that flloyd was a terrible stylistic match up for marquez. I see him having more successes early on but getting stopped around the half way mark. I think were going to see a truly dedicated pacquaio for the first time in a while.
Pacquiao will stop him, he has developed into a fine 147 pound fighter, his blows are telling if not concussive. Marquez hasn't done this, regardless of fighting weight on the night blah blah. Anyway, Pacquiao either winse sweetly or stops him, then fights someone else who means **** all at the weight. If him and Floyd aren't fighting each other next then they can both eat my shorts, clowns
Pacquiao by decision. I don't think it's a matter of respect why he won't stop him, Marquez knows every trick in the book, and Manny will need to be at his best to win this fight, which I'm sure he will be. It's what he needs after three joke fights in a row since the brilliant win over Cotto. As great as Manny is, the last three fights have flattered him somewhat, two guys not coming to win a round never mind the fight, and the other who'd taken bad beatings in his last few fights and was winning fights on his chin alone.
since Marquez went to the Philippines wearing a T shits saying 'I beat Manny twice', Pac found that very insulting and I know he doesnt mind kicking the **** out of marquez. to insult pac in his home country infront of his own people is perhaps why i think Marquez is in for one hell of a beating
Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. In the same vein though, there was a video circulating before the Margarito fight showing Rios, Garcia and the aforementioned seemingly mocking Roachs' Parkinsons disease. If I were in Manny's shoes that would have upset me more than what looks to be a bit of daft showmanship on Marquezs part.
I think Pacquiao wins 8 rounds to 4, in what many will consider as one of the best fights of the year.
It did. Manny promised Roach that he'd punish Tony for it. And punish him, he did: This content is protected It was only when it got to the 10th round - where there was no need for him to continue taking any more punishment in a fight he could not win - where Pacquiao took his foot off the pedal.
