    Just watched the Marquez/Pacquiao fight again

    must be the 4th time i watch this fight and still find it amazing that JMM was composed and leveled enough to figure out Pac's game plan after getting nearly obliterated in the first round. it really is one of the most brilliant performances i've ever seen in the ring. and to see Pac almost confused in the later rounds not realizing that he needed to change it up was almost as crazy. **** was ill.

    Yeah, the fact that he was pretty much able to mentally
    reset after the first round was very impressive.

      Just watched this a couple nights ago in preparation for this weekend's fight. JMM did a remarkable job composing himself after the first round and adjusting to Manny's straight left.

        pretty much. manny always leads with a jab before his power left. of course its easier to be an armchair boxer than trying to compute this while your in the ring.

            i have already lived with the draw verdict and IMHO the greatest performance from Juan Manuel and his defining fight...

            i just wonder how big JMM could have been if his team did not overpriced him and he fought and beat manny instead of erik...

            can't wait any longer for pac-jmm 2!!

                I agree JMM did quite well, BUT after the second round, Pac still won at least 3 rounds, so he shouldve gotten the nod.

                    i guess the question is, will JMM be able to withstand another hurrican of fist from Pac? its very possible that JMM could be in the twilight of his career already. i hope his management did not set him up for failure.
