How do you guys see this playing out? Another tight decision or a knockout win? Read on here some people are thinking Marquez will get the stoppage...don't think that likely, I reckon that would have happened long ago if it was going to happen at all. Will Pacman step it up and get him out of there?
JMM has beaten him before, I have seen nothing in Pacs last fight that shows he is going to make it look any different.
Marquez has figured out Manny's new counter punching style. Manny also doesn't have his mind in the game right now. He's getting outclassed or stopped this time around.
Marquez wins about 8-4, but loses a robbery split decision. I have no faith in him getting a fair verdict against Pacquiao in Vegas.
Jmm had time to put on muscle and get better accustomed to this higher weight, but his footwork impressed me the most. He seemed one step ahead of Pacman and countered almost everything Pacman threw. Jmm hadn't looked this fast since his 126 days. Jmm as intelligent as he is I think he knows knocking Manny out not the best idea. Marquez just needs to keep doing what he did in all his fights and not force ko it might cost him. He's getting overconfident if he does go that route. Right hand leads and left hooks with that underrated balance and footwork is another victory for Jmm. Bradley ****ed up both his legs from all those twists and turns tryin to keep up with Pacman. Admirable display from Jmm.
Let's see... I'm gonna make a bold prediction here, and say.. Marquez boxes, and counters. Manny presses the action, but not to aggressively. Marquez lands nice counters, Manny lands some good punches as well. Close fight in which Marquez never tries to exactly WIN the fight, and Pac shows to much respect to get him out of there! Marquez is the king of doing enough to survive, and to feel good about himself, but not enough to actually get a decision over Pac. He landed monstrous counters in the last fight, but NEVER followed up on any of them. Fought a very conversed, cautious fight. Pac of course just shows him way to much respect (like 2 fights before Pac JMM 3... Katsidis knocked JMM down and yet Pac couldn't do it in that fight).
I vote this idiot post of the month! The man who is letting his shots off with mustard is the one that is'nt exactly trying to win? nut:nut The fighter who is throwing arm punches wound up getting the decision!
X 2 --- I have mixed feelings about it at the moment. Part of me thinks Pac will do what I thought he would last time, stop him. Part of me says it hasn't happened yet, so why would it? They just fought a year ago and I felt JMM beat him clearly, plus Pac seems less and less focused as time goes by, in addition to pushing his camp back (he's not training at the Wild Card yet, and the fight is in what, six weeks?). I guess as of now I will go with the logical and popular prediction of Pac winning a super close decision which most people felt JMM won.
The truth is Marquez is getting old I think now would be the best time for Manny to look his best against Marquez. If you ask me Manny is down 2 to 1 in this rivalry.
Age is catching up with JMM and it will show in this fight as he loses for the first time to Pac. Which will be all about age as JMM has proven who the better man is when they go head to head already.
