When I first heard this rematch was taking place, I figured Manny would just streamroll right over Marquez. Hes gotten more well rounded in the past few years and I thought it would be enough to overtake Juan Manuel, especially after Marquez was dropped by Barrera. At this stage of his career it would seem that he might be going on adownslide, but hes never really been known for engaging in wars like Barrera or Morales. Pacquiao imo, might be sliding a bit too. After seeing the pics, Manny does look a bit weight drained whereas Juan looks to be carrying his weight more comfortably. Its going to be a very close fight I think and if Marquez can box at his pace and not get dragged into a war, he can win a decision while touching the canvas at least once. If he does get out of his element and trade at will, hes going to get KOd. I think Marquez because of what he feels hes representing, Mexico and its boxing heritage, will fall into that trap.
Pacquiao KO 9.
