Since nobody posts in the boxing thread, thought I'd just make this thread for anyone interested to discuss.

Re: Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV

This may sound like a totally idiotic question, but if I remember correctly, wasn't Pacquiao vs. Bradley II scheduled for December? I watched the fight thinking Manny was screwed and followed the boxing media for a bit after that. Last I heard, the WBO reviewed the fight and thought that Manny won as well, so they ordered a rematch. So whats with Pacquiao/Marquez again?

Re: Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV

Lol good question, yea we all know what happened in that first match. Everyone knew who won their first fight and no one would care to watch them fight again.

Last time Marquez and Manny fought it was a controversial decision. Many thoug Marquez qwas robbed including me. All three times they have fought there has never been a conclusive winner. So here they are fighting for the fourth and final time.

Much better fight than shitty Bradley anyway

Re: Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV

Here's what Marquez had to say:

"There is something special about fighting the same opponent four times. It tells me that the first three fights have been good and competitive enough to merit one more fight and when it is against an elite opponent such as Manny Pacquiao then it's even more special and more meaningful.

"Over the last eight years Pacquiao and I have fought three times and all the fights have gone the distance. And while people say Pacquiao has knocked me down four times over those 36 rounds, they should say three were in the first round of our first fight, and that he has only scored one knockdown in the next 35 rounds, and none in the last 20 rounds while winning at least 26 of the 36 rounds we have fought over those three fights.

"So the question for this fourth fight is, 'Do I need to knockout Pacquiao to get the win?'

"Well I will certainly try. I also know that while knocking out a fighter like Pacquiao won't be easy, it's not impossible either.

"I know that I have to be intelligent, fast and strong to beat him. But as we have seen in the first three fights, it is not just up to me to win the fights. It is up to three judges who score the fights. There is no doubt in my mind that I won all three previous fights with my skills and smarts in the ring but the judges have denied me that victory.

"There is not much I can do about the judges. I don't pick them and I sure don't know them. I know most have never trained for three months for a fight and most have never gotten in a ring for 12 rounds with the best fighter in the world and most have no idea what sacrifices we must make to get in the ring and put on the best fight that we can.

"I feel that most people believe that I won our last fight very clearly but the judges did not see it that way; and by the way, I am not only talking about my fights and judges. Look at what happened to Pacquiao against Timothy Bradley. I was ringside for that fight and I felt that Pacquiao won it but the judges took it away from him and that also is not right.

"I just want the judges to score the fight in the ring and not what they think is happening in the ring. I don't care about the three previous fights and how they were scored anymore. All I ask is for a fair judgment, and if I lose I lose. But if I win I want my hand raised that night in the ring.


"Pacquiao continues to be the best in the world and to finally get a win over him will make me very happy. But don't judge my career by these four fights. Take a look at all my 61 fights and then decide where I belong in the history of boxing."
Pretty much sums up why I won't be watching this fight. Not interested in watching another boxing screw job. I definitely don't want to see it happen to Marquez for the 4th time.

Re: Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV

holy fuck, that was a beautiful KO and a great fight. Pacquiao was landing well and fighting a good fight up until that point. He had Marquez in a bit of trouble before dropping his hands at the end of the round there.

Re: Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV

Great fight..Crazy because I thought round was pretty much over and I was looking down to tweet, then i look up and Manny is laying face down like he just got hit in the back of the head with a steel chair or something...It's crazy because I thought he was winning that fight and had the momentum but one false move and that was that...Regretting drug testing before fight? hmmm


Oh and enough with that "There goes the Floyd fight"..I gave up on that dream about a year ago

Re: Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV

This was actually perfect ending to the story.

Manny is happy and Marquez finally get's the victory he deserves.
This.

What a KO though, so happy for Marquez.

Re: Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV

I was totally mindblown. The fight was getting intense as f'k, and then BOOM. Glad Manny got back up with a smile and even told Marquez over and over, "Good fight!"

That seriously was an amazing fight. Intense psychology game by Marquez to be able to fake Manny to thinking he had it in the bag and then still have to ability to lay a punch that hard after getting pretty roughed the f'k up. I think he would've lost steam and the ability to throw that right counter if the match went on.
