I have to say that i am put off watching the fight due to the scoring antics of the last time out. In my opinion Marquz was robbed in his last fight with Pacqauio, so if neither knocks the other out, i fear another judging travesty. I also feel that the boxing establishment will be pushing for a Pacquaio victory in the hope that they can set up a fight with Mayweather in his favoured fighting month of May. In my opinion, i think Marquez will have to knock out or stop Pacquaio to get the victory, i really can't see him winning on points. All of their fights have been close affairs, but last time out was the clearest victory of the lot, but it went to the wrong guy, Pacquaio instead of Marquez.

I have also read about Marquez's trainer being in bother over steriod use when training other fighters in the past and low and behold, here is Marquez looking bigger and more muscular than ever. Apparently they are bringing in a British judge to try and contain the gossip over another possible decision farce and whilst that has been welcomed, there is a woman judge also on the panel, who has been known in the past to get her verdicts going in the opposite direction of the other judges sat at ringside. I also think that Pacquaio was robbed decison wise in his fight with Bradley, so it seems as if the whole thing will perhaps descend into farce again lol.

Needless to say, i won't be staying up late to watch it

TBH, I think it has got to the stage where any potential Pac/Mayweather bout has completely lost its lustre, so I can't see there being a conspiracy about scoring in favour of Pacquiao for this reason.

Pac/Bradley is sort of proof that there aren't issues in that respect because Manny should have got the verdict & didn't.

PS: Marquez does look huge though.

I agree, the Mayweather - Pacquaio fight should have happenned after Pacquaio beat Hatton.

For what it's worth, i think Marquez will finally get the judges decision tonight.

I'm picking JMM to win tonight

I'll be the best of the 4 bouts; both have an awful lot at stake.

Closer it gets, more excited I am...

I can't really see Marquez lifting off the pedal late on, can you?

Offal wrote:If Marquez wins do you think he'll get a second Mayweather fight?

I pray he does not, for I'm not sure my man-love could withstand seeing him outclassed again...

But you know what, he'd probably be well up for it.

As a friend E-mailed me after the Katsidis win, "What a fighter that man is!"

No; I can see him throwing solid shots, 60-70 per round with the odd flurry; he will outbox and outwork Manny who has slipped; it'll be very good.

Maybe this new brand of piss (Maybe Big larry's) he seems to be drinking will also improve him against Mayweather

Brilliant

I have little interest in Manny v Mayweather anymore - as I think Manny has dipped in form and PBF would pick him off easily

Its a bit like Haye v Vitali in my eyes - the hype has gone

Thanks for the pic upload Offal, made me smile

I'd love to piss off Bob Arum in that way 8)

I don't think Marquez would get a second fight with Mayweather and if he did it would be the same result.

Bob Arum reminds me of this old guy think he was a jew because he always wore one of those ridiculous caps who lived down my street when i was a kid and me and my mate nicked his lawnmower and flogged it to some gypos and got drunk off white lightning we bought with the proceeds, my mate got nicked for trying to take a shit in the dryer at the laundrette.

I think Tyson Fury wears one. I don't think he is jewish tho.

Too fuking right i did

Typical..............

Though it was good not knowing what happenned and watching the knock out round. I swear i watched the knock out twice and thought it was Pacquaio that had knocked out Marquez !! I was thinking "Shit.......". Plus the on the you tube clip they were speaking in Russian or something, so i just heard " Pacquaio, knack owwwt " and thought it was a pac-man win. Then, i went back to the knock out again and said " I am sure that was Marquez....." (The picture was hazy). Watched it one more time and saw that it was indeed Marquez that had knocked out Pacquaio. Thought of our Ricky straight away !!

Ps Love the captions mate, kind of makes me famous

I was intending to stay up but it got to 1.40am, I was nodding off and the stream I had was stuttering like hell (may not have been the stream, I live in the backwaters of the East Sussex countryside and my Broadband is iffy at the best of times)

Watched it over breakfast this morning (sent you link it's a good one in English, it's about 12 fights down, the Russian one is there too if you want to watch that again)

All time classic. amazing that they can produce this after 36 rounds.

Wait till you see that odious b*stard Arum comforting Pac's wife at the end (one eye on the camera making sure they are seeing it)

Thanks for the link Offal, i will watch the whole fight later.......

I wouldn't trust Arum at all, that guy looks what he is.........

I bought this at 2am last night becaue a 'friend' said she wanted to watch it.

IT WAS FOTY STUFF!
