Trilogy in jeopardy

SO you thought all is set for the highly awaited Pacquiao-Marquez third war?

?Not a done deal yet, honey? said Lady Gaga, one of the Philippines? self-styled seers watching developments unfold in the continuing Manny-JuanMa fistic drama.

A week to go and Manny Pacquiao decelerates his eight-week prep for Juan Marquez for the world welterweight championship at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

All throughout the bustling drills laid out by trainers Freddie Roach, Buboy Fernandez and Nonoy Neri, the Pacman got honed thoroughly for the third chapter of the Pacquiao-Marquez legend that nets for da winnah a huge stash of moolah. (Pun intended)

No love lost between the corrivals ever since their bitterly hostile contacts that was set up four years apart.

Both are now aching to show who?s the boss with the victor in the 12-round WBO title match getting all the applause (not to mention the huge pie) as the planet?s best banger.

If Manny Pacquiao is as sharp as his handlers claim he is, the fight could get very difficult for Marquez quickly.

But there is a huge problem looming ahead that could jeopardize the staging of the year?s biggest boxing promo and that?s Marquez?s hiring of an incorrigible dope fiend in his corner.

The easiest way to explain this unbelievably freakish move by the gutsy challenger is his fear of getting knocked out by the exceptional champ.

I don?t see it going any other way.

Do you?

?So let?s get ready to rumble….introducing…ladies and gents…in JMM?s corner, Angel Heredia El Memo Hernandez…the undisputed, and reigning….?

Feel free to finish that intro.
