Pacquiao ends careers!- After Pacquiao smashed Hatton, Hatton never went on to fight again and then recently just retired. Oscar De La Hoya also retired himself after the typhoon swallowed the tycoon and spit him out. Will Juan Manuel Marquez be next on the retirement list? It?s really too early to say right now, especially when we have all seen in their first two fights that Marquez has given the mighty Pacquiao all he can handle and then some. I hate to say this because I am a huge Marquez fan, but it is the opinion of I that Manny Pacquiao is going to ruin Marquez and end Marquez?s career. Yes you read that right, Juan Manuel Marquez?s great Hall of Fame Legendary career will come to an end the second that Pacquiao decides to drop the curtain. Trust me, it pains me dearly to think that way, but my eyes never deceive.I noticed a shot that Katsidis hit Marquez with early in their bout that keeps replaying over and over in my mind. It?s true that Marquez is a warrior, and in my opinion, Marquez probably has the fastest recovery time that I have ever seen. But on the night of November 12, Pacquiao is going to hit Marquez with a deadly shot that Marquez will never see coming. It will be the kind of shot that not even the great Marquez will be able to recover from. I know it?s crazy to hear, heck I can?t believe that I am even thinking it, but Pacquiao will freeze Marquez like sub-zero for a split second then when Marquez begins to see light in that split second the shot will then arrive with crushing intentions and in comes night. Marquez will get stopped inside 6 rounds.
A dog fight in Cancun- Alfredo Angulo vs. James Kirkland on November 5 in Cancun, Mexico is going to be one hell of a vicious dog fight. These brawling fights are usually the type of fights that I love to break down and predict a winner. But in this clash right here , we as fans all win.
Cotto vs. Margarito, closing the year with a BANG!- December 3rd it all goes down. Cotto/Margarito 2 just could be one for the ages. This fight has fight of the year potential written all over it. Here?s how I see this duel going down, I will be quick about it now and go into much more detail later. Cotto, who happens to be the more complete fighter of the two, will blast Margarito with heavy shots and will be leading on all score cards for the first 6 or 7 rounds. By round 8, Margarito will slowly begin to break Cotto?s will by shortening up the distance of space.. My oh my the real estate inside that ring will play a bigger role than any of us could ever imagine. By round 9, Cotto will realize that the man in front of him is on a mission to place Cotto inside the oven, Margarito wants Cotto to feel the heat, Cotto will be fighting two opponents on this night, The tornado that is very determined in his approach, and the sinister thoughts in his very own mind. If Cotto is alert, Cotto will need to fight off these demons in a hurry. Because the very last thing Cotto needs is to have these demons re-visit him on fight night. If I?m Emanuel Steward, I would have a stern talk with Cotto and lock Cotto up in a dark room and throw away the key to force Cotto to break his way out of that dark place. If Cotto defeats his sinister devils in camp, then the fight will be a lot easier for him, but if he doesn?t, Margarito will once again put hands on him and bake him and then stop him once again in a brutal 10 round fight.
