Your Early Predictions on Pacman Vs. JMM: Your Honesty Please

[MexicanBoxer]

Another draw i see marquez getting dropped but winning most of the rounds and ending up a draw again.

I'll go with Pacquiao by early to mid round knockout. I expect it to be entertaining again, but I look for Pac to close the deal this time around.

[vB Martin]

the fact that he went down three-times is enough to say that his chin is no granite and thus a suspect for a hard-hitting foe like pac, luckily there was no time left after the 3rd KD in the first to finish him off.

jmm has a good defense that's why he wasn't kd'd that much in his previous fights until pac. it was pac who exposed his chin and made it a suspect.

He was never hurt at all in any of the 3 KD's, so I have to disagree with you. If he was hurt and there to be finished, then Pac really needs to get out of boxing because the guy came back and creamed him for the rest of the fight.
I think that it was Manny, not Marquez, who got exposed in that fight.

jmm would be the harder test for the pac and if jmm manages to stay up for 12 rounds jmm may win by decision, but i am not counting on that....

my honest prediction KO/TKO for the PAC and i am willing to bet all my points on it...

I think youre totally right about that. Since JMM handled Mannys power just fine the first time I dont see him having any problem outpointing him again the second time around. The only difference I expect to see is fewer knockdowns...JMM knows what to look out for and what to expect. I definately go with Marquez by decision

JMM's got the style which looks like the best antidote to Pac's, if he could manage to stay away from harm's way & perform the same fight as the 1st, he could win by a close decision. However, I see Pac swarming JMM with a two-fisted attack a la Pac-MAB not the 1-2 (pawing jab-straigh left) with a good pair of socks this time, if this happens, he'll eventually tag JMM with one of his power punches.

I reckon JMM wins by close decision or Pac by brutal TKO.

I'm with you vb, JMM also exposed Pac's weaknesses and made him looked like a one-dimensional fighter IN THIS FIGHT, although I think it is an understatement to call Pac that. I've seen most of his fights and I'm pretty sure he isn't, just look at his performance against MAB.

But I've to disagree with you when you said that Pac didn't hurt Pac. For one thing, he would't touch his nose repeatedly if it was not bothering him and by just looking at the man in the first two rounds, he was badly hurt. But I was amazed by his staying power and courage to take the fight to Pac especially in the middle rounds.

I would not say that JMM won the rest of the rounds after the first either. He clearly won rounds 3-7, 8 was close but Pac came back in rounds 9, 10 and 12. I also gave Pac round 2. Even if I gave round 8 to JMM, Pac still eked out a 113-112 score to win on my scorecard. It was a close fight though and should warrant a rematch. You probably saw it the otherway, but only a rematch can settle the score...and you know by now where I stand.

Cheers...

If Pac comes unprepared and do the same thing like what he did on Mayo ocho sans round1 and 2 then JMM wins the rematch. But what is the likelyhood that it's going to happen, if I may ask my good friend?

If he doesn't get out of the PI ASAP by the 1st week of January my friend. Those hungry vultures will surely hound him again for commercial endorsements, movies, reality TV shows, billiards and all those distractions.

Roach gave him just a one week vacation. Then its time to train for JMM. I agree with you on the endorsements. A lot of companies are running after him due to his increasing popularity. Best if Roach brings him to LA with him after the holidays.

Hello boxing fanatics. I'd just like to say That Pacman looked SHARP the other night, it really shows what boxing genius Freddie Roach can do for a fighter. What he did to 3k Battery was nothing short of devestating! What do you think his chances are against Juan Manuel Marquez. Cast your votes express your opinions

I'm betting all the pts I will have on Feb. on a KO by Pacman. He knows better now.
