The factors that could decide the outcome of the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez are:
Power. Both are lethal punchers. Pacquiao has halted 29 foes in 41 bouts compared to Marquez? list of 33 KO victims in 44 outings. They?re batting over 70 percent in knockout rate. Pacquiao, however, packs a more solid punch. He hits like a mule. Edge: Pacquiao.
Combinations. Marquez is a typical boxer-puncher. He fires rapid-fire combinations from a stand-up position. The Mexican likes to double up on his left jab, left hook and left uppercut. His left-right-left combination is devastating. Pacquiao relies less on his combinations to hurt opponents because he?s a deadlier one-punch knockout artist. Edge: Marquez.
