We are now a week away from the anticipated trilogy bout between WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez. The two rivals meet on November 12th inside of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, and there is certainly a history between the two men.
Pacquiao was only able to pull out a split-draw in the first encounter in May of 2004, as the Filipino bomber dropped Marquez three times in the first round before the Mexico City marvel bounced back to turn the tide of the fight. Nearly four years later, in March of 2008, Pacquiao would capture a hotly-contested and debatable split-decision that has seemed to be like a thorn in Marquez?s side.
