By Chris Williams: The November 12th Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 fight is still three months away and Marquez, 38, already looks to be in fighting shape judging from the photo he took posing with Brandon Rios and Mikey Garcia in Los Angele, California on Tuesday.
Marquez looks lean and youthful compared to Rios, who appears to be out of shape and sporting a little paunch.
This isn’t good news for Pacquiao, because Marquez seems to be taking this fight very seriously by being in such good shape so early on.
Marquez and Pacquiao have fought twice before with the first fight ending up a 12 round draw in 2004, and the second with Pacquiao winning a very controversial 12 round split decision in 2008.
Many top boxers and writers think that Marquez should have won both fights, and was given the shaft. I’m in agreement with that.
I saw Marquez bettering Pacquiao in both fights, but it shows you how difficult it can be to defeat a guy like Pacquiao. You’re not just beating him, you’re beating his popularity as well, and that’s really hard to get past.
Marquez was the better fighter in those two fights. Pacquiao was just the popular guy that got the judges’ decisions. In some ways I think boxing is like professional wrestling unfortunately.
Marquez will have to be on Pacquiao early and take the fight to him to make sure he doesn’t get any momentum. That’s the advice that was given to him by Erik Morales, who defeated Pacquiao in 2005.
I’m sure Marquez really doesn’t need Morales’ advice given that Marquez arguably should have won both fights with Pacquiao. But Morales did a better job against Pacquiao by in his win over him compared to Marquez.
The difference was that Morales threw many more combinations, drove Pacquiao back repeatedly and stayed on his feet. Morales didn’t let Pacquiao knock him down the way that Marquez did in his two fights with him.
Marquez is going to have to stay on his feet in the third fight with Pacquiao because that will give the judges any excuse they need to give the fight Pacquiao.

You know i think chris williams just hates Pacquiao...Really when ever hes gonna fight hes always bagging on him like as if he doesnt deserve anything. All im gonna say is people think pacquiao is the same fighter as when he fought marquez the first time hes NOT!!!!!hes stronger smarter and has both hands now. Marquez wont be able to stop the combos that pacquiao throws and once marquez throws he gonna be open. And the Pic doesnt mean anything,same shit they said when he fought Mayweather, (He looks in good shape and,this isnt looking good for mayweather)
ReplyDeleteI dont think Chris Williams get it.. Pacquiao is a whole lot different from the two fights he had with Marquez. He's been to great battles againts great opponents in his recent fights and that made him(Paquiao) better than ever.. With regards to the two Marquez's fight, you might want to watch it again.
ReplyDeleteI hope Marquez will leave us on our toes again with his fight with Manny Pacquiao. Although I' am a Filipino, i' am rooting for Marquez. The last fight was really close and as much as the latest bouts Manny has only Marquez was able to keep up with a good fight with Manny. I wish you luck Marquez, I cannot really decide which among the both of you will i place my bet on.
ReplyDeleteMarquez really wants to prove his belief that he was the winner in his past fight against Pacquiao... and now that the Trilogy fight will be held in about two to three months, as early as now, they are having their trainings already... and their trainings are really intense...they are really preparing for this and I think they really are improving.. but hey guys, isn't it great to see this, to witness who's gonna reign in the boxing ring..
