Unfinished Business: Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez III & undercard RBR

Rios might have salvaged a draw in a 10 rounder. (or won in a 12-rounder, although honestly neither of them belongs anywhere near a 12-round bout...not even for a minor title)

 

Vic Pasillas looks like a hot shot young insurance salesman.

 

Round 1

Pasillas waves the right jab and throws some hard straight lefts. Right hook to the side of the head by Pasillas. Garcia is missing jabs and slow overhand rights lurching forward. Pasillas circles to his left and pops the right jab. Right hooks are used to parry the left jab of Garcia, just slapping it away. Garcia dives in with a right and is countered in the face, nearly falling flat on his stomach but barely recovering his balance at the last second. Left hook by Garcia is blocked and he misses a follow-up right. Pasillas uses some slick movement with his left arm held vertically up against his ear, tilting his shoulders back to slip jabs. Garcia throws a right to the body but can't land. Pasillas floats the right jab out of his guard and keeps circling left. Right hand by Garcia, blocked. Straight left lead by Pasillas. Another, snaps Garcia's head back.

10-9 Pasillas

 

Why do Sheridan and Marotta keep saying it's Pasillas' professional debut?? :?

He is already 4-2-2 as a pro.

Where the **** are they getting their data?? Top Rank needs to fire its Live Stream producers. Just clean house and get a whole new staff.

 

Round 2

Nasty right hook, left hand combo by Pasillas as Garcia threw a grazing straight right hand. Pasillas is being first and last, and has the much faster hands. Pasillas circles to his right. Garcia hacks with jabs to the body and misses. Pasillas is crouching down and pushing right jabs up into Garcia's lip. Reaching left hand leads by Pasillas. Glancing right by Garcia while circling. Garcia briefly turns southpaw, and is derided by Sheridan. He hates when orthodox boxers switch southpaw (but doesn't mind as much vice versa, when lefties go righty... :think) Several right jabs by Pasillas, just flickering in Garcia's face. Cuffing right hook by Pasillas as he backs up and bounces off the ropes to elude a Garcia attack. Hard left hand lead by Pasillas. Wild overhand right by Garcia, slaps against Pasillas's vertically upheld left arm.

20-18 Pasillas
