LAS VEGAS– VEGAS–Whoever it was who said, he or she was damned right. There are times when a picture is worth a thousand words. This one to the right may be worth 10,000 words.
Juan Manuel Marquez weighed 130 pounds, one more than Manny Pacquiao.
This photo shows what time it is in Vegas. It’s fight time!
It’s time for Manny and Marquez to go mano a mano at the Mandalay Bay.
The odds in the Sports Book at my crash pad, The Palms Hotel & Casino, remains constant.
Pacquiao, once only a minus -155 favorite, has been bet way up to minus -230. Underdog Marquez, the WBC champion in this fight, started out at plus +135 but has zoomed to being a plus +185 underdog.
Time for talk is over. It’s fight time in Vegas. Mabuhay, Manny, and Mabuhay, Marquez, two great warriors representing two great nations.
By now, the secret is out. Manny has many Mexican fans just as Juan Manuel has numerous Pinoy fans.
I’m hoping for a great night for the sport and the athletes.
Bullets and gunsmoke!
PACQUIAO BY UNANIMOUS DECISION AS PREVIOUSLY PREDICTED
