The simple, sad fact is though that Marquez is another 40 year old, well past his best fighter that is slower, easier to hit and moving up two weight divisions to fight a peak, many years younger prime guy at his arguably best natural weight.
It's a given outcome and is exactly why the fight has been made. Marquez has next to no chance anymore at his current age and level. He just doesn't have the stuff he used to (he's actually dropped significantly TBH) whereas Pac is as good as he's ever been.
In all honesty, Marquez really didn't look very good at all against Katsidis. As fun as the fight was, it was only fun because Marquez has slid so badly in the last couple of years and with well over a year off with a useless, one round fight in between he's going to slow as hell to start off and rusty. Kind of makes me sad for such a warrior to be thrown to the lions with every possible advantage given to the opponent when he's already got all the natural advantages.
