Comments Thread For: Insider Notebook: Roach Admits Fear in Marquez Trilogy

[slick23]

styles make fights

If Marquez has learned from his last fights with Pacquiao then he can win. All he has to do is box and let Manny lead. Pac offensive onslaught comes from fighters pressuring him. Marquez can't expect to **** it out with Pac. Pac has been at the higher weight classes and most likely has more power than before. Marquez tecnical game is almost flawless. He can't expect to win an exchange with Pac. Counter punching works best.

I think your pretty much spot on with the type of style that would give Pac problems, but unfortunately I don't think Marquez can apply it in this fight.
Don't get me wrong Marquez is my favorite fighter out there and is artistic when it comes to counter punching, i just think the weight effects him too much. I think it slows him a bit, and Pac has improved as a technical boxer since their last meetings. I think we witnessed Marquez at his highest point in terms of ability the last time they fought, however with Pac he just kept rising form a skill standpoint as well in physical stature. I think Pac wins convincingly this time out, maybe even early stoppage.

Too early to tell. Why do you want to know? because if I do pick Marquez and Pac wins, you can be one of the guys to say I don't know anything about boxing? Or that I'm hating on Pac? I know you are waiting for that.

No .. I wouldnt say you know nothing about boxing.. I do know you been hating on Pac for a long time..


**** you pick De la Hoya, Hatton, Cotto, and Shane to beat Pac.. so I know this is trend with you..


I just wondering if you wanna put your points on it.. If you pic JMM..

Marquez will not beat Pac above 140, even at 140 Manny would hold a significant advantage. Team Pacquiao are well-aware of that fact, bless them.

How is he better when he never demonstrated supremacy over Marquez, nor did he dominate him. One fight was a draw, and the other a split decision, which many thought could have gone either way, as a result of the fight being so close.

Dude, just call it like you see it. If you make an educated guess, and it turns out the other way, you don't lose anything. Don't get too hung up on what other people will say around here.

[check hook]

the pre-fight hyping for a one sided fight has already started.......Roach knows there is no danger at all in this fight........

[Boxing's Truth]

Lance Armstron never tested positive for PEDS. He was 100% clean. Haters will alway hate. Signed, *******

It amazes me how far up Mannys ass your heads are ,, another advantage fight that will handicap his opponent ,,,,,, again , and you rejoice , it should be at 140 you moron .

He made Cotto come down and he was the champ , now he makes a JMM go up because Roach is scared Juan has Mannys number , so we will slow him with CW and run through him then say how good we are ,,,,,

I suggest for you to refrain from throwing invectives. There is nothing in my post that can even remotely provoke anyone in throwing bad words. Watch your language.

If you want to contribute to this sport, do it intelligently.

I don't care. I'm just not sure.
