JMM is going to give Pac a very, very tough fight.

And it isn't because Pac isn't great or has diminished.

It is because JMM has his number. The reason he has it is because he can handle Pac's speed...he's used to fast fighters and has awesomely fast hands himself.

The only thing I see giving JMM trouble is that Pac's footwork is a bit improved from their last outing. JMM, however, has maybe lost a pinch of footspeed at these higher weights...could be a problem.

**** IT, i'm picking JMM by decision. :good

 

im with you bro , :twisted:war

 

I think JMM is always going to be difficult for Pacquiao because of the chemistry they have in the ring, but I'm afraid Pacquiao's punching power may just be too much now for JMM. I mean, I think JMM may handle Manny's speed even better this time, but I think that when Pac catches him this time around, it won't just be a knock down, I think JMM may get knocked out.

 

You could be right that he has his number , but at his age and at the higher weight he's lost a lot of his handspeed. His speed is what also gave pac problems. At this stage he's most likely outgunned. And you'd have to expect that Pacquiao will come in with a new gameplan this time around.

 

Pac is going to destroy JMM on their 3rd match. Pac has improved and JMM is declining.

 

It wasnt his speed, as Pac is faster than JMM, and always was.

It was his timing that gave Pac problems....

 

Tough fight my ass, JMM is done to, the only hope he has going in is to drown his body in that **** he be drinking so that the stink keeps manny away.

 

No matter what, this fight will be more competitive than the Mosley fight, even if it only lasts two rounds. But both guys are declining I feel, so it could be just as much of a war as the first two fights. Depending on the undercard put together, this might actually be worth the 55 bucks.

 

I dont think so, ko by round 3 for pacquiao, like Morales- pacman III.

 

Both are declining, yes, but the difference is Pacquiao is still dominating quality fighters whereas JMM is having close wars with Katsidis and Diaz before his experience and combination punching + power gets him late TKOs. JMM can't handle Pacquiao anymore. He's going to get starched.

 

I can't fault your logic.

However, I also can't discount JMM entirely. I think Pac will win this one clearly, with no controversy about his victory.

But I don't think he will make JMM his *****.

 

And the weight will be a factor.

 

Whatever happens, this will be an interesting fight. It has all the recipes of a great fight. Drama, Skills, Competition, etc... Only thing missing is Timeliness. Can't fault either because they had to do what they had to do.

 

Dont underestimate marquez, he is definitely capable of giving pac hell again, pac is slowing down, his power must make the difference in this fight above 135.
I have difficulties making a prediction how he wins, but pac wins, could be a ko or close fight, but he pulls it out, atleast more convincingly then the last time which was razorclose.

 

it will be just like Pac vs Cotto but much worse.
