i just hope they try to kill each other again like in the 1st fight...

Gonna have to pick the volume up a little and test what Bradley showed last fight which is that Pac's conditioning might not be there anymore. It might still be there but JMM needs to test it and see how long it takes for Pac to rise up a level which is something I don't think Tim did. He didn't press enough when Pac laid back probably because he was injured and because he's just not as experienced fighting on that stage as JMM is...but the chances seemed to be there.

The problem if you simply want to wait for Pacquiao to make mistake is that he's not initiating action nearly as much as he used to and your opportunities to just react to him goes down as well. He just lost a fight trying that method but we know he can't avoid being completely foolish himself so he can't abandon the plan completely. But, if he sees that Pac has gone a round or two without doing anything for 2 minutes like he did against Bradley then he has to adapt immediately and at least be the one coming forward - He doesn't even have to throw punches all the time, just try stalk Manny and give the impression of pressure for the 1:30 manny is being inactive.

If you sit back on Manny when Manny sits back for extended periods of time, it gives the impression that you're scared. rounds get split between judges, you lose close rounds, and the scores end up all over the place.

Very good and objective post. I agree that im on the fence with you that Manny stamina might be fading due him getting older, and I think this will be a good indicator because i think hes going to attempt to revert to that more reckless style that is so unpredictable, and yet very very dangerous. His speed and power are definitely still there, but like you said, I think his stamina is the biggest question mark i have for him.

He just needs to box smart and let Manny make his mistakes and capitalize

did that. Didnt work and still robbed

hope they brawl it out and make it good as the first 2 fights

[bigsmoothh]

i hope so too...........

[Larry the boss]

i really want this fight to end by knockout with no controversy. if Marquez goes for the knockout he is going to end up getting knocked out.

i agree................

[noStylez]

Always a good fight, regardless of the controversies.
I would love to see the opposite styles, Pac being a counter puncher and Marquez being the aggressor, that would be quite interesting.

Marquez would be lucky to knock Pacquiao down once, he doesn't go down easy at all. He just fights fire with fire and it's in those exchanges that Marquez usually gets tagged by Pacquiao

Marquez isn't KO-ing Pacquiao, no way no how

[chiguy91]

i hope the judges can finally give marquez at least one, haha. fourth times a charm. war dinamita!!

[The_Golden_Goy]

Marquez has to be clinical and take every chance or opportunity he gets in the fight, because Pacquiao starts throwing the standard 4 punch or 5 punch combo that he turns on with to steal the last minute of a round. There isn't going to be a KO either, certainly not for JMM
