Marquez does not have the one stop punching power Pac has but he has timing and his timing is impeccable. Very similar to Mayweather in this respect.
I still havent seen the fight. I'm waiting for the replay tonight on TV. There were too many damn commercials yesterday, the whole coverage was from around 11am to 4pm! atsch I just hung around ESB and read the RbR blow by Blow coverage here. I did see the JMM KD. The punch looked like it was all arm power almost. Heavy hands and well timed counter, right on the button. Marquez is tough.
Pac has said no, but in response, JMM made it clear that he'd fight Pac at as high as 140 lbs if thats what it took! After this controversy, I dont know what Pac could do to avoid JMM without coming out looking like he's scared of JMM. For JMM to say that he'd fight Pac at as high as 140 lbs if he wished, that has got to put the fear of God in Pac's mind, for him to ponder, what the hell am I going to do to avoid him. The way I see it, nobody is going to care to see Pac fight David Diaz if its not on free HBO. So either Pac fights Juan Diaz, Nate Campbell, or he's going to have no choice but to fight JMM again! ......or maybe Pac will just go all in and fight Ricky Hatton in Manchester England and collect 20 million dollars as he gets KTFO!
Thanks. My cousins never bought the tickets. None of us watched the fight live. Everybody must have been busy with some other stuff.
"No" doesnt mean "never ever". Let the 2 of them rest for a few days, they'll think about it, seriously. Theyre gonna set up Pac-JMM III sooner or later. Dont worry.
that's a damn shame. the gma coverage was pathetic. they milked every minute of the match. the commercials after each national anthem were disgusting. what time did it finish at gma? around 3?
I never touched the TV. I knew it was gonna be an ad marathon disguised as a boxing coverage. I heard it was up until 4pm or so. Maybe later than that. :conf I just stayed here on ESB all afternoon.
Yeah, but seeing how easily JMM was able to get his punches off on Pac, I got to figure that Arum is not dumb enough to match Pac again with JMM until he shows significant signs of decline in his coming fights. .....once that happens, I think Arum will start to be open and vocal about it. I said all last year that this matchup had to be made before JMM turned 35. Marquez is 34 and will turn 35 soon. I dont care how skilled you are, a fighter not capable of fighting 3 minutes of every round is not going to beat this version of Manny Pacquiao. JMM can still do that, but will he be able to do that past a year from now is a monumental question mark! Somebody in Pac's camp said before the fight that he'd wish they wait till Marquez was older......I think that maybe now they are going to wait for the signs to be their and there is telling and significant decline in Marquez reflexes and stamina! If Pac does'nt want a fight now, Marquez should fight either Valero, Guzman, or move on to 135 lbs and haunt Pac by beating him to Juan Diaz! Diaz is tough, but he got handled pretty easily by a lesser skilled Nate Campbell. I think JMM can take Juan Diaz! Diaz does'nt punch nearly as hard as Pac, and JMM is way over his league in skill!
Where'd you hear that? I dont think I've heard any one from the MP camp say that. Anyway, I just got a quick adrenaline boost reading the other possible match-ups at 130 and 135. :yep The promoters need to set the fights quick. 2008's gonna be another amazing boxing year if they do that.
JMM is a big guy, you can easily see from his body build, his head and bone structure. Among the fab 4, he is the naturally bigger guy, followed by MAB, then Pac then Morales. I think JMM can move up to 135 and still look every bit as good as he was at the lower weights.
Pac actually said a 3rd fight is a possibility, but may not be immediate as he is already scheduled a match with David Diaz. I would like to see a 3rd fight. Although Pac did not live up to my expectations, I still think he will learn from his mistakes and improve.
