Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[Mars_ax]

One of the biggest fights of the year, and the undercard isn't too shabby either, on HBO PPV Saturday night, a must for us hardcore fans.

Dec. 8
At Las Vegas (HBO PPV): Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez, fourth fight, 12 rounds, welterweights; Yuriorkis Gamboa vs. Michael Farenas, 12 rounds, for vacant WBA interim junior lightweight title; Miguel Vazquez vs. Mercito Gesta, 12 rounds, for Vazquez's IBF lightweight title; Javier Fortuna vs. Patrick Hyland, 12 rounds, for vacant WBA interim featherweight title.

I can already guess who most of you will pick to win this 4th fight between Pacquiao and JMM, the same pug you thought won the last 3! As for my pick, i'm going with Pacquiao by a clearcut decision, and possibly a TKO.

Who ya got, and why?

Cheers

Marquez because hell he's due for a close one to go his way.

Which guy is taking the best PEDs? That A-side meth doesn't seem to work as well as it used to.

If I could watch it I would but I have not watched 3 and will not watch 4. This is a love fest from Arum productions. I hate it and all of them for giving us irrelevant matches.

This might end up being a good fight @Master, you should check it out mate.

Yeah, but you're a hardcore fan just like me and you will be watching #IV.

It's really sad that I'm far less interested in this fight than all of their others, even fights against other people I was looking forward to more than this.

But, it's still Marquez vs Pac and should be one hell of a fight.

I'm waiting to see what IamInuit has to say before I post. Why? Because IamnotInuit, and he's the man!

Inuit is away right now in a skiff harpooning a whale off the coast in Northern Canada, you might try checking back later.
I agree that Inuit is the man when it comes to picking winners, he's uncanny.

Lol Mars.

Very kind you guys. I just get lucky here and there is all. Hate to disappoint now.

I'm kinda on the fence. I expect more of the same. The previous trilogy could easily be put in the 12 vs 15 rd thread. I will be cheering for Marquez but I don't think I will be sure until the ring walk or final weigh in. I will say that Marquez has the look of determination and Manny looks a little soft. I think we will see a little different Marquez which could be his undoing. A little to eager one might say.

I do not share the view that this is a meaningless fight.

Same. I have only a passing interest in this fight. I hope Marquez wins emphatically, he deserves it.

[Pavlik]

Accdg to ring mags latest issue both guys should stick at what they're great at Marquez being the counterpuncher and Manny being the attacker. That being said I believe Marquez will take more chances in this fight and Manny on the other hand wont back straight up like before and will give a lot of movement and speed that has been missed for quite sometime, I see PAC winning this by referee stoppage or Nacho throwing in the towel.

I'll definitely be watching. I'm looking forward to it. I'm hoping Manny is back to the level he was at a couple of years ago and that Marquez is still fast enough to compete after his recent, uh, gain in musculature. I'm definitely interested to see how new pro-wrestler Marquez does.

I have a feeling that we're going to see a fight that confirms Manny is on the slide and Marquez has his number. And then Manny gets the decision.

Could be, but if anyone gets a gift decision it would likely be Marquez. I figure Manny will need to totally dominate or stop JMM to get the "W" this time.
