I have always followed his career, but I used to do so thinking that he was an ok fighter. However, all that changed after the first round of the first pacquiao fight. After he got put down 3 times in the opening round, and looked like he was going to die, I thought he was done. After watching him proceed to pound on Pacquiao round after round after round with blood streaming out of his nose struggling to breath I concluded that he was not human. Even though I came into the fight thinking Pacquiao would win a wide decision, I had Marquez winning the fight even with the 10-6 opening round. From then on I have supported JMM in all of his fights, and he is currently my second favorite active fighter. So what is it that made you a loyal follower of Dinimita?

I had always heard his name but my first real exposure to him was against a journeyman named Marcos Licona who he knocked out with one of the most beautiful uppercuts I've ever seen.
I had never seen anyone so technically perfect before. The guy had timing, speed, power, leverage and unparalleled intelligence.
That made me a fan, but what made me a loyal fan was the fight you mentioned street.
When he got dropped 3 times and then came back to win every round after that against Packy I knew that he was something special.
He made Packy look like an amateur for the next 11 rounds with a broken nose and a bruised ego.
Can you imagine JMM against Bradley this past weekend quitting like bitchass Nate Campbell did?
Or better yet, can you imagine Campbell getting up 3 times and fighting like JMM did against Packy?
No. -
That's what made me a fan as well.
Dude has so much heart, no matter what the adversity.
I also like him because he is vulnerable and you never know what
is going to happen when he fights. (this also makes me a fan of Cotto)
He is a throwback fighter, he'll mix it up with anyone.
He's got the biggest balls in boxing and is very entertaining to watch.Comment

I remember after Pac-MAB 1 they were talkin at ringside about what FW wouldn't be shook about facin Pac. Steward said it'd be JMM. I was only a casual fan of his then, but I started lookin at his fights to see how he could do wit Pac. He hadn't had a really big fight yet, even tho he had belts. I was fiendin for the Pac fight and he delivered a gr8 show, after he almost got squashed in rd 1. Been a diehard fan of his ever since.Comment

First time I saw him was against Licona, he was so sloooooow. But the variety of punches were a beauty to behold. He was hitting from unusual angles.
I became a greater fan when he went toe to toe with Manny, and cursed when he was totally robbed against Chris John.
Now he's number 2 on my favorites list mainly because he has shown how ballsy he really is, unafraid to take punches and dish out beautiful combos.
Been rooting for him ever since (except when he fights Pac of course
)

The third Pacquiao fight is what made me one of his fans. He has done a lot of the right things since then to get to the top except going to Indonesia to fight that ****** fight with Chris John. There are only two opponents that I wish he would have fought. Actually three. Hamed (before he got exposed by Barrera, and had ducked JMM), a prime Morales, and Humberto Soto. Those would've been cracking fights with Hamed being the easiest.Comment
