Comments Thread For: Nacho: Marquez Has To Survive Early Pacquiao Rounds

[iNDOLiFER]

marquez doens't go into survival mode,even after the first fight and second he never once did that,who went into survival mode against pac after feeling his power? cotto,the whole fight after that first knockdown,marquez won't do that,he'll TRY to win,not just survive

we'll see about that.. pac aint the same pac in 08.... in 08 nobody was going in survival mode like they are now with pac.. and to name a few that u purposely left out, oscar, cotto, clottey, mosley. the only one that didnt went into survival mode was hatton and look what happen to him LOL!

I dunno Nacho....forget 3 and 4...

...loooks like JMM's going to get tagged hard in the 1st round and Pac's going to finish Juan early in the 2nd round. Surviving the 1st round onslaught and leaving the white towel in the locker room is what Nacho needs to think about.
I wishh JMM well but this fight will be his last!!!!

[Carpe Diem]

Anyone willing to bet with me that Manny isn't going to win by knockout? I still think he will convincingly beat JMM by unanimous decision, but i don't see him knocking JMM out unless JMM get desperately reckless and inpatient.

He probably means first 4 rounds because he was knocked down early. But C'mon Nacho, Pac ain't a 4 round fighter.

[Pacquiao'd]

I dont think he is saying Pac is a 4 round slugger. He is referring to Marquez's weak first 3-4 rounds in which he is analyzing your punches so he can counter them. This is common with all counter punchers like Floyd in the Mosley fight. He got caught bad in the 2nd round. But once he realized where the punches were coming from he had Mosley figured out. That is why Mosley's success ended after that round.

Marquez is a similar animal. He was caught badly by Pac in the first round of the first fight. The second fight he got too trigger happy after landing a punch combo as Pacquiao was moving back after his own attack. He visibly hurt Pac more than he had in their previous 14 rounds and went for a knockout. Obviously Pac's offense was too much for Marquez to go toe to toe with. But the main point is that Marquez did not get knocked down after the 3rd round of either fight. I believe all of Marquez's knockdowns have come early on.


I believe this fight will be a report card assesment of Pacquiao's growth as a fighter since 2008. I believe we will shocked at how well Pacquiao can handle Marquez this time around. I agree weight and age are a factor but Marquez is still a top ten p4p fighter, and Pacquiao has a knack for bringing out the best in JMM.

I remember reading an article in which a writer said that Pacquiao does the expected in unexpected fashion. That is what will happen here.

Can't wait for this fight.

No its not. All it will show is that jmmdoesnt belong at the weight. Not how much pac has improved since 08

[iNDOLiFER]

No its not. All it will show is that jmmdoesnt belong at the weight. Not how much pac has improved since 08

so why accuse pac of being on steriods if the lil midget hasnt improve since 08? lol.. i could of swore the peds accusation started because manny never look so good before as he did now. but *****s just corrected me, guys pac hasnt improve since 08 so i guess pac isnt on peds after all then.

[DominiBox]

Pac should be able to KO the LW very early. If he doesn't and gets tagged, he's either getting old, still cant handle a defensive counter puncher, or all the above.

JMM needs to withstand the early rounds and just survive. He's destine to lose in this division. This fight is more about how will Pac look vs a style that is known to give him problems.

Your boy was not capable of doing that. Not even with a 10 pounds advantage!

[Mr. Philadel]

and run the other 8 rounds ala Sugerfree Mosley?

Pac aint no ****n 4 round slugger :aha:

STFU....respect the legends of the game...punk!!!
