While Marquez bleeding excessively and PAC controlling the last round .... Do you think Marquez would be able to take back the control of the fight ... or PAC would wear him down, possibly fight ended by ref or doc ?
If no KO JMM loses in a decision. JMM didn't have as much speed as in the 3rd. He had more power and going for KO from the getgo.
The way it was going Marquez nose would of been pretty ****ed up. The way he was bleeding sooner or later it would caused him alot of breathing problems. I would say Pac by tko.
Pac would have got caught and KOed in the later rounds. No way Marquez would gas, he was in great condition
It's a bit of a weighted question, considering that JMM's plan right the way through training and into the fight was to KO Pac.
pac was getting KO... No other way to look at it. JMM almost KO Pac in the 3rd, and got it done in the 6th. Had Pac gotten up, then possibly KO in the 9th. JMM was investing to the body so Pac was going to tire soon after the first half, expecially with all his movement. JMM came to win and he knew that even if he outpointed him again, the judges would never give him the fight, so he patiently waited for the KO and it almost came in the third and finally came in the ninth.. Agin, the KO was almost inevitable. JMM a G, an intelligent G.
marquez was on the attack and lured Pac into that exchange. Pac had some nice shots but nothing JMM couldn't or hand't handled it the past... On the other hand, the inferior fighter was KTFO. :good
Manny was destined to run into another counter right hand. Team Marquez was well prepared for anything Manny had that night. Juan was throwing every counter punch with murder on it. Alex Ariza said it best when describing Juan's conditioning in an interview. (Google that ****^)
The KO went somehow out of the blue, when PAC started to control the fight and Marquez was showing problems with bleeding. I would agree with your statement if you speak at the end of round 4. But in fifth it was Marquez who went down and it was Marquez who started bleeding while PAC started clearly outboxing him .... Do I understand from what you are saying, that no matter what was actually happening it was inevitable that Marquez IQ and enhanced physique would (sooner or later) gave him KO?
