~ Manny PACQUIAO v. Juan Manuel MARQUEZ ~ ANALYSIS and PREDICTION Thread ~

I'm rooting for Pac but based on the MAB-JMM and Pac-MAB fights im leaning towards Marquez more because what made Pac a special fighter is his all out aggression style. Its the reason why he blew Barrera out last 2003 and why he knocked down marquez 3 times in the first round. The Pac i saw in the Barrera rematch is a more refined albiet still very impressive one, the thing is if he'll fight JMM the same way he fought MAB the second time I'm pretty sure JMM will out think him and dictate the pace all night. I understand PAC has improved a lot as a boxer the past few years but he will never be as polished as Marquez in this regard. Unless Pac reverts to his old style and box a little i believe JMM will emerge victorious.

 

A bloody war with JMM by SD

 

What if he survives the first round?

 

Then it won't be the same like the first fight. Pac was clearly aggressive and pressured to finish jmm off since the 2nd rnd. Pac took this guy lightly and only thought of ko jmm out. He was then punished by jmm. I doubt this time. Pac respects jmm now and i guess on the first 3 rnds, it will be a "feeling out" period for both parties as jmm will also be curious to what pac have this time.
Also remember that pac was handicapped with a swollen left hand and a blistered foot, showing it to our local media after the fight. if you don't believe on those things fine with me, but if ever pac gets through jmm this time it can make those "alibis" legit as far as i'm concerned.

 

you bumped this just as i started a new poll

 

Dudes easy problem. Im no pacfan but, I'd bet for Pac winning via KO.

 

Mga noyp's, Pacman via middle to late round stoppage..

Pacman will have to have a very bad hair day (which is very unlikely) for JMM to, at most, manage a UD.

From what I heard, manny's in best shape now.. if such is the case, then JMM will really have to dig deep into his bag of arsenals to keep the surging pacman at bay..

I just hope we don't witness another hit and run MAB2 kind of strategy..

 

Simple... PAC by KO!

 

divac,
I'm sure this may sound logical to you especially the JMM fans. It's ok.
Mabs fans NEVER believed in PACMAN either..and so was the Morales fans etc...

PAC by wide UD or late KO! If JMM finally tries to BE AGGRESSIVE (FINALLY!) it will be more exciting INSTEAD of just counter punching..

Remember the popular computer games many years ago called COUNTER-STRIKE! JMM is a sniper. He gets the job done but IT'S BORING! Now wonder pac is more popular than him even though he is the current champ! :rofl

 

i'll go with my gut feel and say that pac ko's jmm late. i feel i cannot objectively defend that stand so i'm not going to bull**** you guys. that's just how i feel

 

No adjustments need on Pacquiao side -- he doesn't change, he's going to be the same fighter.

The adjustments have to be and has been made by JMM ... He figured out that PacMan was just throwing the double jab, straight left hand.
Thats why the fight ended up a draw - its a shame that Pacquiao couldn't cruise to a victory after 3 knockdowns in the first round. I never heard of anything close to that happening in the boxing ring.

JMM by decision rather it be SD, MD, or UD

He knows what Pacquiao brings to the table and knows what he has to do to win. He's fought 2 southpaws in his last 3 fights and knocked both of those guys out. Now granted they weren't on the level of Pacquiao but he got good rounds in against southpaws with simular styles to Pacquiao. Overall boxing ability goes to Marquez, while power and a slight edge on speed goes to PacMan ... he still has to box because he's not knocking out Marquez.
