Casamayor-Marquez is a TERRIBLE matchup

[DiegoFuego]

Do they really expect people to pay money to see two counterpunchers sit back and wait on each other for 12 rounds? A lot of people forget how boring Marquez can be when he's not in with an aggressive fighter like Barrera or Pacquiao. Ever watched Marquez vs. Gainer? This won't be that bad, but both of these guys can stink out the joint when matched with boxers. It's a big important fight, but don't get fooled into thinking you'll see a great fight.

do you honestly think JMM will go into this fight thinking he can afford to have a boring match? think about what he's had to do JUST to get the second fight with Pacquiao. both nacho and JMM have publicly stated that he has become more offensive minded because they understand their previous game plan wasn't getting them anywhere.

of course this fight isn't going to be FOTY, but Marquez has come to far to put out a dull fight while he has SOME spotlight on him. he wants to leave Pacquiao with NO excuses as to why a rubber match shouldn't happen. i think he's going to surprise a lot of people.

I think it'll be an interesting fight fought at a high skill level but I don't think it'll be very exciting.

[Famoso Matador]

If both fighters get into counter punching mode it could be 12 boring rounds. I think Casamayor is worse, some of his fights have been awful.

[The Gambler1981]

I think it will be ok, Casmayor much more hittable now so JMM should be able to get off a bit. If JMM sits back and just waits it will be a boring fight, a fight that Casamayor would probably win. I could easily see JMM outworking him for a win over 12 rounds.

Is it worth a PPV though hell no. I hope it doesn' cost the full price maybe $45 with a stacked card.

Casamayor vs Katsidis = Very exciting
Marquez vs Pacquiao = Very exciting

Casamayor vs Marquez = Who knows?

Marquez will beat Casamayor, leaving him humiliated.

Casamayor vs Katsidis = Very exciting
Marquez vs Pacquiao = Very exciting

Casamayor vs Marquez = Who knows?

Katsidis and Pacquiao are two of the most, if not the two most, exciting fighters in the world today. They could make any fight exciting. Plus matadors look their best when you throw them in with a bull. Look at Mayweather-Hatton for another example.

[DiegoFuego]

Marquez does try to make fights exciting, but he's the one moving up in weight here so I think he'll be more cautious than we've seen him the last 2 years. Casamayor showed he can clip you out of nowhere as he did to Katsidis over and over.

I like this match up. It has the potential to be a high paced chess match as long as Casamayor doesn't hold hold hold.
