Very interesting facts. Look at how even these guys are when it comes to statistics. Not perfectly even but it is the closest we can get from any fighters going against each other. Pro-debut: Pacquiao: January 22, 1995 Marquez: May 29, 1993 Record: Pacquio: 58 (fights), 53 (wins), 38 (KOs) Marquez: 59 (fights), 53 (wins), 39 (KO's) Height: Pacquiao: 5' 6 1/2" Marquez: 5' 7" Reach: Pacquiao: 67" Marquez: 67" Weight: (official) Pacquiao: 143 lbs Marquez: 142 lbs After 24 rounds of boxing: (total score from 6 judges) Pacquiao: 679 Marquez: 678 What makes it more interesting....different fighting styles: Southpaw vs Orthodox Boxer Puncher vs. Counter Puncher. ...Now as for the age, I think the way they fight makes up for it. Marquez' defensive awareness preserving his body from beatings. This one is open for agument though.
those are pretty well-even stats there. that's why both these guys are bound to produce fireworks whenever they fight each other.
Very amazing statistics between the two. This will be an epic trilogy. 3 Title fights in 3 different divisions for 7 years in the making.
So get your tickets now people, and lets make it clear, that the Pac Man ass whoopin is almost here, and it ain't no secret and I hope you know, Juan Manuel Marquez by KO.
Man oh man -- I'm doing the same thing I do over and over. I tell myself, "I'm not buyin' that fight. It's not worth the money." And then, as the fight draws nigh my mind starts creeping over toward, "I gotta see this fight!":bbb
Gotta love those guys. These two are exactly what boxing is all about and that is why it is the greatest sport ever.
Marquez can be considered a puncher too. Guy has underrated power. Matter of fact, he is a brawler too, he never backs down from a toe to toe.
