Comments Thread For: Roach, Ariza Expect Pacquiao To Punish, Stop Marquez

[Heru]

Unless Pacquiao can again hurt, but this time finish Marquez, he's in for another tough fight. JMM reduced his punch output because he knows the angles and distance Pacquiao wants to be able to let his hands go and doesn't give it to him. He used Pacquiao's lack of jab and hunger to fight against him.

Pacquiao has changed, but the changes aren't going to hide what's built in him. Mosley employed part of the strategy (reduced Pacquiao's punch output by 10-50 punches per round), but didn't/couldn't/wouldn't use the counterpunch necessary to actually try to win a round.

Pacquiao's going to have to hurt him and take him out this time or we'll be seeing a microcosm of the first 2 fights. One tactic Pacquiao can do this time that he couldn't before and could catch JMM off guard is for Pacquiao to get into the high guard he's comfortable in and bait him similar to what happened against Cotto. JMM will take the bait because he's a fighter through and through; he'll put his head in Pacquiao's chest and let his combinations go, but he's liable to be caught off guard.

They arent the same size Pacquiao has always been bigger thats kinda why Marquez is the current lightweight champion.

stronger? yes, faster? yes, bigger?? bigger name yes. thats why he's the pound per pound champion.

Why you complain so much...? Marquez wouldnt accept the fight if he thinks he cannot win. Just enjoy the fight, win or lose those two fighters will bring more excitement than floyd vs. ortiz.

Pacquiao has put Marquez on his *ss several times in the first 2 fights (which he won) Now at this weight Marquez ain't getting up! Good paycheck for Juan.

Pacquiao is not going to KO JMM and if he stays on his feet for 12 rds he's going to win by UD

[komandante]

as much as i hate to say it, i agree.
however, this is only because the weight demands from these two ****s.
they know full well that jmm won the first two and they also know that anything above 147 puts jmm in the losers seat.
they look for these advantages when fighting anyone.
i dont like roach sayin "once and for all" because this does not count.
in my eyes it would be a straight 2-1 jmm.
but, with an advantage that roach needs for his man to win, its not a fair deal for juan manuel and everyone knows it.
he was so desperate for the fight he would have fought at 154 if he had to and a 100%-0% split.
roach and "areefa" are transparent with this issue.

your comment is all non sense. The first, Pac was robbed of a win by Burt Clements and if you don't know that you have to learn more. The second was close but the third rd knockdown gave Pacquiao the win. This time I'll put all my money to Pac for a brutal knockout. Just some simple question. Do you think JMM can handle Cotto, Clottey, Margs or even Mosley, I doubt..

Irony is a beautiful thing isn't it?

whats so ironic about it?

[PD21]

All this talk about a Pac Ko . . . . . . . . If he is going to stop JMM he better change his attitude. From what Ive seen from Pac in recent years he is all smiles and lets old washed up fighters last the distance with him because he no longer has the killer instinct to finish guys off.

I hope this time we get a proper fight and the fighters dont touch gloves every few seconds. I dont expect Marquez will try the Shane approach but the guys seem to friendly singing together etc. Time to get serious. Its the only way we get a KO instead of watching dance partners put on a friendly exhibition for 12 rounds.

The fight gonna be bloody & brutal in fast pace action,
somebody will gonna get hit by speeding Ferrari!
oppps, that's hard punches coming from all direction in great speed like the speeding Ferrari!
Pacman by KO!

[leonthegee]

Of course its gonna ko Marquez. If he dont he'll offer Marquez the fight in 4 more years to make sure he puts him down. And if that dont work he'll offer Marquez the fight on his death bed.
