The first was a classic, and was fight of the year until the Barrera/Morales war. It wont be as good because JMM figured out Pac and learned how to deal with his power, so its going to be tactical .... JMM is going to pick Pac apart.
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".

This fight si gonig to be a barnburner and a classic, better than the first, which is difficult to pull off. Pac knows that he will have to work harder to get his punches off against the defense and counterpunching JMM. Pac will win this fight, in my opinion, but I would not be suprised if JMM wins a close decision based on his countering and making Pac miss.
I was unable to see that fight live even though it was just a few hours away. Unless the undercard was televised I didnt see Pac fight then. I'd have to check my documents to see if that particular fight is listed..if it's in my documents, then I've seen it. I may have seen him fight before MAB..I'm not sure, but if I had I still didnt recognize the name. And of course after the beating he gave Barrera I made a point to remember him
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.
