After a month watching some good, bad and sometimes downright ugly heavyweight action, it’s the sport’s little men who step up to the plate this weekend.
When I heard that Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez had signed to fight each other a few months back, the sceptic in me was willing to wager pounds against pence the fight would not materialise.
For all too often in boxing, the so called “big fights”, especially in Las Vegas, turn out to be anything but, with favourites regularly going in at odds of 1/4 or worse.
Well, not this weekend.
