Any decent ref would of stopped that fight. There is no need to let a fighter get repeatedly smacked like that when he is clearly unable to defend himself. I am a huge fan of Whitaker but still, that **** should of been stopped rather than letting him get beat to the floor like that.
I agree with JMM adding some nice weight in a slow pace until november with the help of a doctor... PAC's only advantage now is power.... and JMM needs to be able to withstand it. The speed of PACQUIAO shall not trouble him anymore the legs are a little slower... he needs to worry about that "Ped POWER" as a fellow comrade Divac would say and that extra bulk might help... we know PAC will come in strong and might even come in heavier then ever to have every advantage against the little counter puncher.
Pacquiao is clearly faster and takes a much better punch than when he use to drain, Marquez earned his attention a number of times so it IS relevant. If his best timed counter doesn't earn Pacquiao's respect than he is going to be in for a very long (or short) night.
I hope Pac has the confidence to think walking trough JMM like a power house will give him the KO... I think that would just benefit JMM. PAC's strategy should be about the same as their last fight except now he has the added benefit of a lot of power.
:good at fight night weight difference will be less than 5 lbs, unlike the pac margo fight wherein the difference is 17lbs. thats why jmm's team is happy with 144ibs. yet, many idiots from esb are still complaining.
No, he isn't. Even the expert pacfag researcher philla has clips of emmanuel shadowboixng when he was still in the small man weight divisions compared to the modern day one. The hands have naturally slowed down. This foo is approach his mid 30s.
Shouldn't JMM weigh at least 141 to get Pac's WW WBO belt should he win? If that's the case then that's the reason why he wants to weigh in heavier and why he needs professional help.
You don't have to weigh at least anything to win the belt. You have to be below the limit to win the belt though. That's how emmanuel was able to fight for the WBC's 154 belt even though he weighed in below the 150-154 division.
Would be a mistake for Marquez to add too much weight. He should just train like he always does and simply stay hydrated. We have seen the benefits on Pacquiao fighting at a more natural weight and not be dehydrated. Why would any boxer bulk up only to have to drain themselves again to make weight, especially when facing an opponent of a similar size. I could understand the need to add weight if Pac was considerably bigger but he will have a 4-6lbs weight advantage at most and Pac has shown against much bigger opponents that bigger is not better when you are more skilled than your opponent.
