Marquez to fight Pacquiao on 50-50 split

**thebowtod** · 12-23-2013, 04:37 AM

Pacquiao wins by UD, especially with Vada testing and the way he fought against rios.

A 50 50 split? Thats pretty freaking honorable of arum, a little to honorable, so im not sure about this

That's one of the dumbest ish I've been hearing lately, what he did against Rios is the same crap he tried in the 3rd fight against Marquez which resulted in him looking extremely bad. Hurts me to say this because it got him knocked out but his best chances of winning is to do what he did in the 4th fight, getting technical with a master tactician is gonna get him out boxed again.

What I was saying was the pacquiao wont be throwing 1 2, 1 2, 1 2, like he did in the 3rd fight, and wont reckless like he did in the 4th fight. He fought the 4th fight very well, but one thing he improved on in the rios fight is not getting too excited when he thinks a fighter is hurt. PAcquiao learns from experience, and marquez would be in very dangerous territories if he fought him again. And its what alot of people think if they rematched

Yeah I know what you're sayin'. For the first time ever since I began watching MP, he was actually backing off when he was scoring blows. He'd land them and back off. Pre-JMM KO Pacquiao would have went all in on Rios several times in that fight. Instead he was cool with letting the judges see the clear scoring blows and then would back off and reset.

He learned a lot from that JMM KO. To me, at least for the Rios fight, it appears that he has accepted that his killer instinct, animal like ferocity days are officially over. He was completely focused on 100% boxing him the entire way and working the cards.

Point well taken, had me confused for a second there. Me personally, I don't see it working, Marquez will forever be the ring general when these two face off, I could never see Pacquiao getting off then dipping out successfully but with Marquez getting up there in age....jus' maybe.

Arum get's the same whatever the split because he will be promoting both fighters if it happens.

ah..makes sense now. it could happen

I don't care what the split is as long as it has VADA testing

No one develops 1 punch KO power at 40 years old against a ATG chin
