Pacquiao is capable of knocking out Marquez in the first round!

[Zab Super Judah]

marquez is a better boxer than pac.......but pac is a stronger and harder puncher than marquez........it would be ****** for marquez to trade with pac when he can just out box him.......look at all the people that try to trade with trinidad.......it would be ****** to try to trade with him......u have to outbox him

I think this fight will be completely different from the 1st. More of a tactical battle. Roach won't allow Pac to fight the same way he did in the 1st. JMM fought a helluva fight but I don't think he could do that again. In his last fight he looked very cautious & didn't like the pressure Salida put on him in the last few rounds. If he reacts the same way, he gets KO'ed. He got caught with alot of punches & if Pac lands any similar shots he's getting stretched.

ya ofcourse hes capable of koing marquez in 1rd
but i dont think he'll be able to do it
he has the power to do it
but i dot think he has the skill to land it when marquez isnt letting him
in the 1st fights opening round
manny showed him he cant afford to just take shots from him
and after the 1st rd
his left hand wasnt such a big deal

i disagree. marquez just thought it could go toe to toe with pac and realized that he couldnt. after that he fought smart and got back into the fight. had marquez fought like that from rd 1 he would've won the fight. bad socks my ass...

isn't it that most boxer who is bent winning his fight always sees himself fighting a smart fight but not every one is successful -- the reason they he doesn't know what the other boxer will bring to the table comes fight night. if marquez can adjust well to pac, there's a good chance he can fight a smarter fight than the first one. but pac has the edge in coming out with enough surprises to make jmm think twice and confuse him to fall out of his plan. jmm being a passive counterpuncher will always fight the same style no matter what.

i noticed that a lot of you have so many "had marquez this and had pac that, then marquez could have won" -- the fact is he didn't deliver. and if he had 11 rounds in their first meeting, then why wasn't he able to finish the pacman off. if he didn't win the first time despite "figuring out" pacman, there is a slim chance he could do it next time. jmm will face a much better pacman -- and this time he will taste the canvass again and won't stand up.

without the skill -- pacman must be the luckiest fighter on earth to win 37 out of 39 fights and became a two-time world champion (plus the ring belt), and masterfully beat marco antonio barrera to the ground...good guess, i suppose!

I think we will see Manny and Marquez in good shape for this fight. Manny will bring his same gameplan because god forbid he tries to outbox JMM. I believe the fireworks of the first fight won't resurface here. Marquez knows he can take Manny's best stuff...Manny knows that he can't let Marquez have time to set up shop. I think Marquez will eek out the UD. Effective aggressiveness from Marquez.

[JaNnO]

I've got a feeling that this is going to boil up into a great tear-up.

Marquez tasted Pacman's power, he's fully aware of the concussive blows he could be facing if he doesn't back Manny up with power of his own.

My head tells me Marquez will box and move, but I just feel that deep down he knows that's a 50/50 fight plan. I see fireworks baby, and Manny on the deck

jmm thrives in beating his opponent methodically, slower but surely -- that is if pac is one of the previous opponents. the bad news for you guys is -- pacquiao is helluva lot better than them!

jmm didn't knock knock down manny in 11 rounds, i don't see that happening in 11 + 1 round, that is if those left straight didn't find their marks on jmm's face. but pac is an accurate puncher and i'm pretty sure jmm is going down for good.

[JaNnO]

I have a feeling Marquez`s heart and will is the difference. I remember Pac mans loses to Torrecampo and Singsurat ( don`t we all LOL, yeah i know, Pac is a sucker for right hand ). But the thing is, these fighters weren`t special. They believed in themselves and wanted it far more than Manny. Thats why they won. Marquez has the whole of mexico behind him ( and alot of the USA ). Lets hope the mexican uses the formula to beat Manny, left hook to the body, fient a hook upstairs and drill with the right hand. Can`t fail. That`ll keep him off and Marquez is the better boxer. I prey that Marquez pulls it off, then look forward to Barerra Vs Marquez in the fall!

and manny will have all the filipinos behind his every punch. a lot of usa on jmm - i highly doubt it. at any rate it would be another exciting game for us to behold. i haven't heard marco called out jmm's name. pac vs. erik in july -- now that's something.

[JaNnO]

what else can he do? Pressure is his game. he cant box with marquez so there is no secret there.

isn't ledwaba a counterpuncher too...look at what happened to him. if marquez thinks like you do...he will find himself in the waterhole just like ledwaba.

In the first round of their first meeting, PacMan continued to hit Marquez flush after having him down three times. If Pacs "power" couldn't KO Marquez at that point, Pac will never do it.

Marquez is one mentally tough guy and he had enough skills to reach a draw in a fight that was Pac's to loss (after Round #1). Pac won't see the same Marquez in Fight #2 because Marquez can adjust, unlike the one-dimensional PacMan.

Pac will bring the same style that he brought to Fight #1 and will pay dearly. I predict Marquez by BRUTAL left hook. That's right, a single shot to Pacs' exposed chin.

that punch just grazed jmm's shoulder...looked more like a shove to me. if there was another minute of two in that first round...i believe jmm would've been koed -- the guy got lucky.

marquez wouldn't see the same pac in fight#1 too. he had 11 rounds to land that left hook but nada, aiming for something is nowhere close to executing. on the other hand, it's marquez that is likely to bring the same style.
