This bout has fight of the year written all over it, put it on your calendar as the one to watch, May the Eighth from Vegas. The Pac-Man after dismantling one Mexican icon Marco Antonio Barrera goes after another when he takes on Juan Manuel Marquez in a IBF/WBA 126-LB Championship contest.
Manny comes to fight, he’s relentless with quick hands, maintains a steady pace with a volume of punches with an excellent connect percentage, he’s at the top of his game!
Marquez an excellent boxer and counter puncher has dominated many of his opponents with sharp timely counter punches but in this writers opinion he has to pick up the pace and be sharper than ever in order to hold off the man from the Philippines. Juan is capable and his trainer “Nacho” Beristain is no fool, they no doubt are planning a unique fight strategy while taking advantage of the high altitude near Mexico city as they prepare.
