Will this version of Pacquiao fire up his fans once again?

Manny Pacquiao surely has millions of fans around the world. One thing for certain is that many of them are hungry to see the Pacman of old. In recent fights, Pacquiao has not delivered the same intensity as his fights in the past.

When Pacquiao was steamrolling through the divisions winning titles, and retiring legends, he was on top of the boxing world. His speed, power, and tenacity was second to none. Pacquiao has not had that same ?take no prisoner? look for quite a awhile now.

Recent comments by Pacquiao have once again gotten his fans fired up. Manny promises that this time around, the fans will see that ?killer instinct? once again. He’s been in the Philippines up until a day or so ago. Reports are that he was working hard in the gym getting an early start for his upcoming clash Vs. his old nemesis, Juan Manuel Marquez. Pacquiao landed in Los Angeles a few days ago, and so now we’ll see how his US based camp works out.

Roach once again ordered that the gym be closed during Pacquiao’s training sessions. We’ll see how that works out. Usually there are still several people that get into the gym anyway. Nevertheless, the gym has been ordered closed.

Pacquiao will be facing JMM for a fourth time. If this fight is anything like the first three, we’ll have another good one. With that said, a lot of the fans are a bit weary of the same foe over and over again. Another thing to consider is the fact that a few of the previous fights were controversial wins for Pacquiao. If this fight goes to the cards, some of the judges may feel compelled to give it to JMM even if Pacquiao wins. We all saw the crap that was pulled in the Pac Vs. Bradley fight.

Pacquiao probably knows all of this and this is why he will go for a knockout. He probably knows that if this is a close fight and it goes to the cards, that the decision could be interesting. He knows this going into this training camp right from the beginning. Both camps are saying that they want to knock the other guy out. This is the most intriguing part of the fight. Both guys should have that killer instinct from the beginning bell on.
