    I can agree, except I would have rather seen Barrera be more aggressive (even if it meant getting KD).

    I thought Manny took it based on his work late in the fight. Also, I think the first round was something of a Mack/Andrade effect. Manny saw a quick night's work, and he became even wilder than usual in the middle rounds. Once he settled down, he became more effective.

    Moreover, I think he has improved since 2004, while Marquez has slipped a little. But this is a style problem for him, no doubt. He'll have to take this fight seriously.

    My favorite part of the trilogy(other than MAB breaking Morales' nose in the 3rd fight) was when MAB held his fingers in Morales' face after victory. Like if he was saying, "In yo face, son. In yo face" :yep

    I disagree on JMM. I think he's shown to be about the same now than before. While he's slowed a bit...he's also a lot more offensive now, which has helped him put guys away.

    Additionally, I always thought Morales won the third fight with MAB. I thought he also hurt MAB pretty bad towards the end of that fight.

    To me, Marquez looks like he's lost speed, and a slower, more aggressive Marquez isn't the style of fight with Pacquiao he needs. But he always will have greater technique than Pac and at this point seems more focused and has more to prove.

    This is my No. 1 anticipated fight at 130.

    So why take on the fight if you got no intention of winning it?

    "Proving you can beat Pac" is different from "proving you can survive Pac".

    You thought EM won the 3rd fight w/MAB ??What were u watching ??

    This is the some ignorant crap right here !! MAB thought his stragedy would be successful against Manny ..Because he didn't fight Manny's fight he came to survive ??I recall that there were few exchanges but why play to your opponenets strong pts Manny is a brawler Marco is a boxer !! People need to stop with all this survival stuff especially those who have never set foot in the ring ie LARRY MERCHANT !
