| Juan Manuel Marquez Scheduled To Meet With Specialists
|
|
By Ernesto Castellanos, notifight.com Juan Manuel Marquez (53-5, 39KOs) is taking a different training road for the first time in his career. The former three division champion is scheduled to meet with specialists who are going to evaluate his weight, physical condition and advise him if any changes are needed in his training camp. Marquez, slowly bulking up for his trilogy bout with Manny Pacquiao (53-3, 38KOs) on November 12 in Las Vegas, wants to avoid his past mistake of putting on the wrong kind of weight. The Mexican veteran has been using several specialists to make sure his body is progressing properly in training camp. In 2009 Marquez moved up to welterweight for a bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr. He says the weight made him slow and he couldn't put his punches together. Mayweather dominated him over twelve rounds. The fight with Pacquiao takes place at a catch-weight of 144-pounds. Marquez is putting on the right kind of muscle but taking steps with the specialists to ensure he maintains his speed. Using his old training methods, combined with his new strategy and properly bulking up - Marquez feels that he gained "the right kind of power to deal with Pacquiao." Marquez and Pacquiao fought to a twelve round draw in 2004, and Pacquiao won a controversial twelve round split decision in their 2008 rematch.

i am a big Marquez fan, but Marquez strongest asset against Pacquiao is his super accurate countering ability.
Pacquiao's been around 144 a lot longer than Marquez, even if he does it as best he can (which would be with Mackie Shilstone if u ask me, hehehe) he still can't be as comfortable as P... |

I don't know why people care about what nutritionists Marquez has because we ALL know the outcome of this fight. If Marquez makes it to the final bell without sustaining a lot of damage I'll be thoroughly impressed and if he were to win I'd be shocked. It is my hope that Marquez can still make ... |

Yeah, but when Mayweather fights the same guy, at the same weight, it's a tragedy. This fight is and was a farce from the word go. Manny could have at least fought him at 140lbs. We've already... |

[QUOTE=freedom213]Once again I think a pac opponent is looking at the wrong part of Pacs game to beat him at. Yeah he needs to be stronger than he normally is at 130/135 but what he really should be focusing on is the best foot and hand speed he can bring to the ring. Pac is used to fighting bigg... |
