Roach and Pacquiao said Marquez only wanted to fight them for money after the rematch. A ****ing lie. They also tried to age Marquez too, but fine wine ages well. Marquezs biggest problem is that he has to contend with Pacquiaos speed more than his power. Marquez is the better boxer, always has been. Marquez has to learn this time around that he can't just back up when Pacquiao comes forward punching. He has to bait Pacquiao into a head on looking collision at times, but be smart about it, land his hard shot, and not get hit. This is very dangerous, but he has to stand in the pocket more, and block or parry with punches more in this fight rather than back up. That big shot that Marquez needs to land is a perfect straight counter shot no matter what punch it is while they are both throwing, but Pacquiao can't land his straight shot at all, and Marquez has to land hard. Pacquiao loves the straight left, right hand combo. Marquez has to counter that. Marquez has to be careful to not open up on Pacquiao while he's on the ropes. Throw hard body shots, back off and keep the fight center ring. In their rematch, Pacquiao was confused center ring, and tried to walk in on Marquez after Marquez landed. Marquez countered with body shots which made Pacquiao pound his stomach like they didn't hurt, but they did which forced Pacquiao to become offense aggressive. Pacquiao comes forward like any great champ does, and wants to counter or force a trade. That is Marquezs chance to do some damage to Pacquiaos face. Marquez has the more proven chin since he's never come close to taking a 10 count while Pacquiao has been knocked the **** out. I expect another war, and I expect Marquez to stand his ground more, jab more and go to Pacquiaos body. One bomb from Marquez, and either it is over, or Marquez will finish the hurt Pacquiao. What round? Anytime round!
and I expect Pac to knock him out early. Their first fight almost stopped in one round. Pac's a lot better, Marquez is a lot older now. If it's competitive now it's because Pac is on the slide and Marquez has a difficult style for him, but he should blast this one out of the ball park early.

Silence ***. You are a stinktard and you will be embarrassed come fight-time. I'll be back here after the fight you fat greasy *****sexual semen receptacle. :smoke
At a heavier weight at older ages both are no longer as quick as they used to be Marquez i think is gonna have more power and since Pacquiao 2 he has made himself more of an offensive fighter and he has been a good finisher i expect him to be able to hurt and stun Manny, he did several times in the first 2 fights but at 37 or 38 and well above his comfort zone weight wise i dont see him capable of the things he was capable of in the first 2 i see him being very competitive but will lose probably 8-4 on cards his boxing skill and determination will allow him to go 12 along with the fact of how well he understands Manny i just think at this stage he cant win, unlike the 1st 2 which were close I do think Marquez is quicker than some give him credit for he is definitely faster than Clottey or Margarito but its not his speed but his understanding of Mannys speed the welters cant cope with it but Marquez a career 126-135 is used to speed and can handle faster foes
