B. Pacquiao KO'd in 1! - both bros lost recently - how's that to their confidence?

Of course to the confidence of the big bros.

First, it was Rafael Marquez, who lost his fight in 12 rounds against Israel Vazquez. You gotta understand that the Marquez brothers virtually beat each other up to the top (brutal sparring sessions from the early days) and if one wins, there's an unbelievable force driving the other to outreach and outshine that one. If one loses, you don't have to be a shrink to guess the effect of that. Of course the Rafa loss wasn't that bad, and Team Marquez believes that it's not a loss at all... so if something's there to outbid, it's the ATG brawl presented by lil'bro... But JMM better not try to jump on PacMan...


Yesterday Bobby Pacquiao was KO'd in 1 by Urbano Antillon. Not that if that's the first KO loss of Manny's brother... but it was a big double-left hook KO, and just a day before PacMan's fight... that has to do something to your confidence...



So what do you think? At the highest level of boxing, where the perfect mental condition is as important as the perfect physical form, does the loss of the lil'bro will have an affect on the big one?

 

Thank you!
