Marquez No Match for Pacquiao's Barrage


PhilBoxing.com




San Francisco, CA. -- "The best conditioned Manny Pacquiao will face Juan Manuel Marquez on March 15" the Filipino boxing hero crowed as he met the press on his first Bay Area visit since his torturous draw with Agapito Sanchez at the Civic Center.

Even with a torpid recollection of that bloody fight wherein the Dominican roughneck tried robbing him of his newly acquired title -- Pacquiao wants another pugnacious scrap in his pet city by the bay.

And in an outright dig at Marquez' brag of a more rounded training for their rematch, Pacquiao insists his trainers are far more superior and as such have negated whatever advantages the Mexican champ gained by his early start.

So then, both warriors are in shape--their best- ever conditioning brought about by their exacting workouts.

Expect a barn-burner when these intrepid boxers collide at Mandalay Bay Events Center in glitzy Vegas.

This is a must-see thriller made compelling by their mutual enmity engendered by their drawn match four years back.

Since that disputed draw at the MGM Grand, Pacquiao has matured while Marquez aged.

Marquez turns 35 in August and whether he admits it or not, this pesky item places him in a situation that entails difficulty for the aging fighter

A clear-cut winner will emerge in the 'unfinished business' featuring today's remarkable talents in the junior lightweight division.

Manny Pacquiao who is not only strong but skillful as well remains the favorite in the posted odds at various betting centers.(Illegal bookies included)

Any of the two combative warriors digging too big a hole in the early rounds will find it tough recovering lost ground.

And who'll pocket all the marbles in this awaited return bout?

It will be highly unlikely for the Mexican defending champ to upset the Filipino lefty who's on a roll -- on a tear, if you please with a ten win streak.

Pacquiao has been ruthlessly productive since losing to Eric Morales.

Unless Marquez starts growing steroid-laden hormones (quite late in the day right?), Pacquiao will have his butt whupped when the battle smoke clears at the Mandalay.

Sorry Juan Manuel but it will take a lot more than a great camp to overcome the smooth rhythm of the power punchin' Pacman.
