    This is a segment on an article found from a Philippine newspaper


    Juan Manuel Marquez thinks he knows Manny Pacquiao too well that there’s really no need to review fight videos of his Filipino opponent. "Not very often I see (fight) videos of my rivals, and more of (even) Pacquiao who I already faced and know perfectly," the world super-featherweight champion told Mexican paper Esto Sunday. Marquez, holder of the WBC belt, thinks there’s very little use reviewing fight videos of one’s opponents because boxers normally change styles and adjust depending on their next fight. "Boxers change styles from one fight to another, and there’s little to observe of Manny," said Marquez, scheduled for a huge rematch with Pacquiao at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on March 15.


    Ill-advised for Marquez if you ask me...

    I've heard JMM mention before that he does'nt study a whole lot of fight video like other fighters do.....he lets his trainer do that.
    Nacho Beristein studies the video and makes the suggestions as to fight strategy.

    I'm sure that if Nacho sees anything that they can exploit in those fight videos, he'll bring them to the attention of JMM!

    Believe me, both JMM and Nacho know of the changes in style that pac has made, they wont be of any suprise to Marquez' team.


    Underestimating Pac? I dont think so. JMM started there camp early to make sure that all the i's were dotted and the t's were crossed!
    They're absolutely not underestimating Manny Pacquiao!

    How could he underestimate the fighter who knocked him down 3 times? :)

    It's an article from the Philippines so what do you expect. The author puts that in that underestimation context.


    It's not Marquez' but his trainer's job to watch the videos and prepare his guy with the right sparring partners. That's it. You can show Jermain Taylor some great fights of former Manny Steward fighters in camp and Kelly Pavlik still gonna knock him out. :D

    Marquez is a naturally talented great counter-puncher. He was down 3 times in the first fight and guess what he did in the rest of the fight? Quickly started to read the PacMan and outboxed him to the final bell.

    Why should he watch videos? He's got better job to do, prepare himself for a boxing match.

    People tend to take boxer's quotes too seriously.
