Pac v Marquez

[adamheight]

24/7's are doing the job of hyping this one. And as much of a tool Kellerman sometimes comes across, his passion for the sport sells this fight well too...
Marquez has certainly packed on some muscle.

Part of me says Pac will define this trilogy and make it a one sided beating, but a small part of me thinks we could be in for an absolute war.

Picking Manny on points.

How you guys see it?

[crusader]

Manny by stoppage. I don't think JMM is at his best.

[thunderfromdownunder]

there seems to be alot of people completly writing Juan of here. I dont see any reason why this wont be a close one again. Manny on points, maybe some more controversy

Agree with thunder manny seems a little out out of his comfort zone against this aggressive counter puncher. Manny close points win.

[Brute]

I think Pacman will be too strong for JMM.

['Frilla]

JMM has looked great after his loss against Floyd, should be a good fight, still i agree with Brute, Pacman will be too strong for JMM, i see Pacman taking this one possibly by KO.

Even against Katsidis?

Especially against Michael.

That was the hardest shot Marquez copped since Pacquiao and still managed to turn it around.

I think manny will take this one but i think it will be a great fight JMM wont be intimidated by Pac nor will he surrender so i expect a war although watching 24/7 Pac looks a fair bit faster than JMM cant wait

my sunday is planned
9am start watching undercard
10am switch to one hd to watch UFC on Fox then straight back to Pac v Marquez

theres another great fight this weekend. interesting concept to put the ufc heavyweight title on free to air.up against a pacquiao fight... i like dos santos but i think valesquez will be too much for him, i think valesquez wins inside 3 rounds

interesting move, i agree we will see how it goes but it worked out great for us fans IMO time to watch the title fight and time to switch back for the other title fight

Bullshit call today, Marquez was robbed bad.

[franko1990]

Bullshit call today, Marquez was robbed bad.

I second that the only way Marquez was going to win was by KO

[thunderfromdownunder]

Juan won even clearer than the second fight. Absolutely ridiculous decision. When you think about it, no way was Juan gonna win a decision when Floyd and pac are negociating a multi million dollar fight. Corrupt to the Max

[dberry]

Just got back from the pub, watched the fight, bad decision, I think Marquez won, but I reckon this whole "no drawn rounds" bullshit that the current judges are taught is the cause of this. The challenger must take the title from the champion, if a round is even and one must make a decision as to who won it, one must give it to the champion (or judges favourite/promoters boy)

[crusader]

Marquez very unlucky not to win that.

[Rogue]

Marquez got robbed- worse than any other robbery in Australasia so far...

['Frilla]

Marquez landed good solid combinations, he made Manny miss alot of punches, and countered him many times, that frustrated Manny.

Mayweather will do the same thing to Pacquiao, but alot better.

I feel for Marquez, hes the only person more gutted than we are.

[Rogue]

Manny had a terrible day in the office.....

[D J Pawsey]

Robbery

[Beltane]

Now you know how Nedel Hussein felt back on the 14th October 2000, when he put Pacman down in the 4th round and then watched the official put on the slowest of slow counts to save Pacman. A home-town stew if there ever was one!

Pacman was saved and went on to win with a 10th round TKO and was bound for glory!

The same topic came up about 6 years ago when de la Hoya lost to mayweather when are they going to introduce a 10-9.5 round or 20 must system. A good example of this is if the judge who scored it 116-112 used that system then the rounds pacman scored would have all been 10-9.5 while Marquez's 4 rounds he won would have been 10-9 rounds resulting in a draw. I do not believe you have to do more than the champ to win a round everyone has trained the same and is equal in the ring and everyone complains about home town advantage which is the same principle, do u have to do more then the home guy to win a close round? At the moment yes but every round should be scored on its own merits. I could go on with the advantages of using half point system but everyone should realize the benefits evening it is only introduced in title fights however the down side to this is the judges need practice in using a new system

Do you really think De La Hoya beat Mayweather? Did they fight twice? The fight I saw Mayweather won clearly. Granted it was close, but Floyd definitely won it.

No "home town" decision is ever any better or worse anywhere in the world.... it's just a bit more talked about when it happens in Vegas at this level as opposed to at a pub or hall in Australia or NZ.... feel sorry for JMM
