DECEIVING FIGHT!


PhilBoxing.com




Bible Belt, Down South ? Don?t be deceived that Marquez exposed The Pacman. That fight is just a back to back to back mirror of the first two fights. Marquez is just a brilliant boxer/brawler whom Manny can?t kill like the way he killed the likes (same DNA) of Hatton, Cotto, Margarito, DeLa Hoya etc?

I will not call Marquez a pure boxer, I will not call him a pure counter puncher either. Marquez is a complete fighter. He can box, brawl and counter. That?s why Manny had the hardest time again since he?s facing the same boxer who gave him the hardest time in his boxing career, few years back.

People, writers, ?experts? said that Manny lost last Saturday. Some Polls showed overwhelming results that Marquez should?ve been declared the winner on that fight. Refer Ringtv.com. Do I agree? Hhhmmm? Is the fight close? It looks close to me, but in terms of cleaner blows, more telling blows I will give that to Marquez for sure. Manny didn?t connect well at all. We know if Manny connects, Marquez will raise his two feet in the air, but that never happened. It means Manny never really connected a good one on that fight. I don?t know if lateral movements can win a fight. This is not a contest of lateral movements, right?

So I agreed somehow with the writers / experts that Marquez was the clear winner on that Nov 12 date.

In the same token, these writers were the same ones who said that Manny will kill Marquez.

Marquez is old.

Marquez is going down.

Pacquiao is a different fighter compared to the last rendezvous; he got the right hand and best defense and the lateral movements.

Pacquiao annihilate giants, Marquez can?t do it in heavier weight.


But what they don?t know, after Pacquiao won split decision on their second fight. Marquez was cruising, knocked out the elusive, defensive minded, Olympic gold medalist, never been KO?d Casamayor. Marquez tamed the Baby Bull. He KO?d the strong Katsidis. Most importantly, Marquez gave Mayweather a good fight, plus the naturally bigger Mayweather came to the weigh-in couple of pounds overweight.

That tells us, if Manny was beating the Cottos, the Hattons, in his own way Marquez continued improving also.

So, was Manny exposed last Saturday?

Hell No!

We already saw what happened the last two fights, and that 3rd fight was exactly the same. Marquez will always give Manny a run for his money.

Don?t be deceived, since Marquez the brilliant boxer made Manny looked human. Then, all boxers can do that to Manny. That?s simply wrong.

Let?s take a good example, who are boxers in welterweight (147lbs.)? Mayweathers, Mallignagis, maybe a Mike Jones, Mosleys who else?

If these so called boxers face Manny, Manny will look as great as he defeated the brawlers. Because these boxers don?t have Marquez?s skills, who can box, initiate, good uppercuts and the heart to neutralize Manny?s offense.

If no Mayweather fight this coming spring, and they put a Timothy Bradley, it is time for Pacquiao fans to Yeheey again!

Bradley is good fight for Manny, that fight will help people (pure boxing fan, just a Manny fan) to remember how good a Manny Pacquiao is if he?s not fighting an underrated Juan Manuel Dinamita Marquez.



Oh!BeerTime!!!

That Saturday fight opened a possible fight of all time Manny vs Floyd, THINK ABOUT THIS: if the undercard matches up MARQUEZ VS MORALES, wheew! That?s what I called the EXPLOSIVE!... are we gonna have NBA or not? The last lockout (?98-?99 season), there?s this player named Michael Jordan, told the late philanthropist, Washington Wizards owner Abe Pollin ?hey look! If you think your organization can?t make a profit, you should sell it?? now that same Michael Jordan became an Abe Pollin? and as of the moment there is no new Michael Jordan to make an impact for the players? how?s the crime rate in Philippines last weekend? Is it the lowest since May of this year?... can Marquez beat Cotto, Margarito? No need to beat those guys, Marquez cemented his mark in boxing, he was there with the greatest? I started my fantasy football league here at the office, I was cruising 8-0, but week 9 and 10, I am 0-2? I?ll take those losses, I hope I?ll get back my winning form coming playoffs, but Brady, Fred Jackson, Sproles, Bowe please pile those points again!? another wave of Donaire vs Donaires hey! If the son don?t start making false stories, the older Donaire will not retaliate... but it hurts you know, if you?re the dad and your own kid make stories against you, what should you do? Maybe some people can ignore it but a mere human being talks back? im not taking sides, no I take that back, I am on the dad?s side all the time, also the nanay?s side? yohoo!... hows PBA nowadays? Boring!!!... hows MBA? Bring back MBA atmosphere! Said me!!!... congratulations to the new WSOP Poker King Pius Heinz of Germany, another young one crowned? but I?d rather play this new champ than 3rd placer, American Ben Lamb, Ben Lamb staring at you? You sweat!... thanks you to Arnold ?JayJay Helterbrand?s bro in law? for hosting the Manny Pacquiao party last Saturday here at Goose Creek, SC!.. Thanks to those people who said that Marquez won?t last 12 rounds, I am $600 richer now, as my friend Doug Fischer of Ring magazine texted me ?YOU WERE RIGHT!?Lastly, RIP to the Greatest Left Hook, the South Carolinian, Joe Frazier!

KUMBATEA!
