2. Knocked-down Marquez 1 time on their second fight. And traded a toss-up fight the rest of the way. Another controversy, the main KD was also a big influence on the final tally. SPLIT DECISION: Pacquiao
NOW with the "new" PACQUIAO, I would think that he would not only win it but annihilate Marquez because he now has more arsenals and footworks in him. He is also stronger and have more stamina.
Not taking away from Marquez known as a technical and one of the best counter-punchers of our time now but I don't think he has enough to contend the "new" Pacquiao.
Sure Marquez can adjust, there's no question. The next logical question now is:
• Can he adjust to Pacquiao's new power and full-throttle combinations from all angles unseen from his 2 previous fights with him?
• Can Pacquiao adjust to Marquez's power after taking shots from Margarito, Cotto...etc.?
I really think that Pacquiao now are MILES AHEAD. Pacquiao has improved but Marquez hasn't.
Take note: KATSIDIS threw a wicked LEFT HOOK that floored Marquez. Don't you think that Pacquiao can do MORE than that and follow it up with combinations WITH POWER?
