I still can't figure out why JMM allowed Pacquiao to again engage him toe to toe after rounds 3,4,5, and 6 where he thoroughly outboxed Pacquiao.
Try to think of it deeper. In the rematch, they will be where they left off. Just like rounds 7-12 of their first fight.
But one problem for Marquez is Pacquiao is becoming a natural featherweight and more powerful.
In their 2nd fight, Pacquiao will be 10% more powerful. And if you take a look at their first fight, even the 1-dimensional Pacquiao gave Marquez a beating. Landing just 10 less punches than Marquez while landing the harder ones. That even a 10% deviation from their physical properties will give the other one troubles.
Now, age is a factor now. Pacquiao can still get more powerful while Marquez will only keep his previous forms.
Notice how Marquez was waiting for Pac's left straight before throwing his combos. That was the reason why Pacquiao landed a lot of left straights. Check the stats. And that reason alone is cause for concern.
In the 2nd fight, Marquez will no longer be able to endure those punches before countering. If he try, he'll get knocked out quickly.
Nice post, very articulate, would have given you some good karma for that but i've maxed out for the day.
This post pretty much sums up the Pac-Marquez II outcome. Full Stop.
Manny has a style that has worked for him, including a few rounds with JMM. But, a boxer he 'aint and a boxer/counter monster JMM is.
JMM late TKO or wide UD.
Nuthiggers please recall that Pac let Marquez outpoint him after giving-up an early 10-6 (10-7?) round. That spells trouble when Marquez shows-up ready for fast hands but predictable "style".
JMM in his first fight against Pacman was in full capability to do what he can do and yet havent done it. considering Pacman being half disabled. if he cant do it with a Pacman only half performing, there's no way he can do it with a 100% Pac.

exactly! the only reason he survived that in the first fight is coz Pac's left hand is no longer capable of giving KD's after the 2nd round. what do you think would happen to JMM if he recieved all of those from Pac's uninjured left hand?
