1. Juan on points.

2. Juan has Pacquiao's number. 3-1 Juan.

3. I definitely think Juan would have put Pacquiao down (Not out, that's a one in a thousand punch) again at some point in the fight and won a close decision.

4. At home, drunk.

5. No interest in fight 5, but it'll happen for monetary reasons. Would rather see either man fight Rios and/or Bradley.

 

1. What was your prediction going in? Marquez W 12

2. Do you view the rivalry as Pac having JMM's number, or JMM having Pac's number? Marquez having Pacquiao's number styli, but Pacquiao still able to defeat him via knockdowns or outworking him.

3. If JMM hadn't landed that shot in the 6th, how would the rest of the fight have played out? Pacquiao stops him.

4. Where did you watch? At home in Florida.

5. Any interest in seeing a fifth fight? Very much.

 

Prediction: Pacquiao SD in a fight JMM deserved

Who has whose number? Clearly, JMM has Pac's number. No other way to view their rivalry.

If JMM didn't land that KO shot, he would have landed it sometime soon after.

Watched it at home.

I'd rather they both retired. I'd rather they each fought Tim Bradley. But a fifth fight would be the next most desired fight for each of them.

 

1. What was your prediction going in? Pac by TKO

2. Do you view the rivalry as Pac having JMM's number, or JMM having Pac's number?
JMM had Pacs number but Pac still had a good chance to beat him as well.

3. If JMM hadn't landed that shot in the 6th, how would the rest of the fight have played out?
Toss up. He coulda landed it later or Pac coulda landed more shots & wore him down. I had Pac up 4-2. If no one else got knocked down or KO'd, then I think Pac woulda got a clear Dec. (if the fight played out like the first 5.9 rounds.





4. Where did you watch?

I was there.
Got the full brunt of the emotion of the moment.
Right after, Juans fans rubbed it in thoroughly and rudely but it's all good, that was alot of pent up emotion just waiting to explode and when it did, wow, I gotta say it was an unbelievable amount of energy to feel.
I give JMM full respect for all the fights.

5. Any interest in seeing a fifth fight?

Very interested. imo It's still the biggest fight to be made in Boxing right now. I'd go again in a heartbeat and will still root Pac on. Even though I would favor Juan to win in this one.

 

Marquez did'nt show up to have the fight go to the cards so its kill or be killed.
Marquez was zoned in to land thunder and he likely would have landed something big down the line had it not happened in the 6th.

Boxing politics forced Marquez' hand and that type of a gameplan by Marquez gives Pacquiao the only chance to be competitive round by round in the fight.

If there was any doubt by anyone who the better fighter is, Marquez feeling forced to fight Pacquiao's fight, knocks him out at his own game! :yep

 

i chose manny by knockout, i knew it wasnt going the distance, picked juan to win the 3rd fight, but this forth fight i knew somebody was getting kod, an juan pulled itt off

 

1. What was your prediction going in? Marquez by decision. I didn't see a knockout by either Marquez or Pacquiao in a fight at 147 happening.

2. Do you view the rivalry as Pac having JMM's number, or JMM having Pac's number? I think Marquez has done better over the 4 fights.

3. If JMM hadn't landed that shot in the 6th, how would the rest of the fight have played out? He would have weathered the storm and started to find his counters, on the way to a clear decision.

4. Where did you watch? My bedroom.

5. Any interest in seeing a fifth fight? No, Marquez won the fight in such a clear manner. Yea it might have been close, but with a knockout like that, and at that point in the fight. It's clear who the better boxer is.

 

1. Another boxing clinic by JMM (either he gets robbed again or finally gets the nod) -OR- JMM finally slows down with age and Pac knocks him out.

2. JMM regularly calls Pac on the phone and Manny answers, "Hi, Daddy."

3. JMM would still win. I knew this because he survived Pac's onslaught. If MP can't finish a wounded JMM then Pac himself is going to get finished. Kill or be killed was the name of the game.

4. Streamed it on my computer. And no, I don't regret it, just like I don't regret making predictions before a fight. Based on circumstances it was the perfect call at the time. If I knew or had a strong feeling it was going to be an epic brawl w/o controversy I would have paid for it.

5. Few months ago I would have said no. Yesterday I said yes. Today I'm indifferent. I would like to see JMM fight someone like Rios or Bradley. But if it's Pac again I guess I wouldn't mind seeing another war. Loser should definitely RETIRE.

 

1. I thought Marquez would win going in, but I knew anything could happen.

2. I think it's obvious Marquez has Manny's.

3. You can't take one segment out of the fight and pretend it never happened. The universe is a chain of events with all of the links depending on each other.

4. Watched it in a bar, great atmosphere.

5. No. There are better fights to make, and if Manny wants to recover his career for a final stretch, he shouldn't fight Marquez. It would probably just look like the 3rd fight, with a cautious Manny too nervous to create openings while Marquez just outboxes him with leads and counters.

 

Pac by stoppage

JMM has Pac's number (though I score the series 3-1 Pac)

Although the momentum was with Pac, it was liable to shift at any point which has been the case anytime these two have been pitted against one another - so it's awfully difficult to say how things would have concluded.

At my pop's house with some fam and friends.

Not really, at least not an immediate rematch. I'd like to see each guy matched against non tuneups in their next bouts respectfully and possibly face each other down the road if the clamor calls for it again.
