Hey everyone, hope you enjoy my new article on the fight! I did a complete breakdown on each fighter and a prediction. Enjoy! http://dlamontre.hubpages.com/
You lost all credibility when you included your biased opinion about JMM. By discrediting JMM KO6 win over Pac by insinuating he was doping, without concrete evidence or proof, just as bad as FMJ claiming Pac was juicing without having any evidence. This sir, officially makes you a *******
Pretty much this. You can't pretend to be a writer then include your derogatory opinions to dismiss actual occurrences.
C'mon guys! I like to make my articles entertaining and it's not like I don't have disclaimers for things that haven't been proven no matter how obvious they are. I referred to Oscar as a "part time coke head" when he fought Pacquiao. There were rumors that Marquez was juicing BEFORE the 4th fight when he hooked up with Memo and pictures showed him to be more cut than Pacquiao and "destroying sparring partners". We never saw or heard of any of this when he was younger and fighting at the lower weights. Could Pac have gone on $hit too? Sure, this is boxing for Christ's sake! Marquez is a great boxer but he clearly became obsessed with beating Pacquiao and in my opinion and many others he went on $hit to do so. When have you ever seen a 40 year old boxer get stronger, more cut, be faster and hit harder than ever? It's common sense guys.
I agree on the point made above. I did not find anything wrong with your breakdown and prediction for the fight- EXCEPT FOR THIS. I count myself as a Pacquiao fan, but I understand that he lost that fight to JMM because he made a mistake against a fighter that was good enough to make him pay for it. He walked into a big shot. Keep writing- but remember you want your fan base to believe you are not biased and can call it like it happened in the ring- to, or for, any fighter- and without conjecture or questioning the reputations of the other fighters involved. Which you did in this case, even if including that the allegations of PEDS were unproven. Just mentioning it was enough to be discrediting. Fighters ALL climb into the ring based on what they agreed to in their contracts. If the fight happens- assume it is a fair one.
For what it's worth, regardless what you think about Marquez being on steroids or not, Pac looked like an absolute beast in that fight and I thought that was the best he had ever performed against JMM in any of the fights. Right up until that fatal mistake of course. A lot has been said about Pac being in decline, but I don't think he's declined that much.
I thought about what you guys said and although I do believe Marquez has been juicing since he hired Memo, I have removed my remark alluding to it in my article. Thanks for your feedback.

This is a labor of love and anybody who writes about boxing (and most others subjects for that matter) knows that for 95% of writers, there is no money in it. Thanks for reading!
Decent prediction, thanks. I did not see the Marquez comment before it was removed, but am surprised to see there are 4 or 5 people still left in the world who deny that Marquez was roided up to his eyeb@lls in that fight.
