    Cool Pacquiao vs. Marquez III - Saturday fight/chat thread

    Saturday on HBO PPV, which means, i'll be hunting a stream since DIRECTV, is charging $64.95 to watch this mo-fo in HD, no way Jose.


    November 12
    At Las Vegas (HBO PPV): Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez, third fight, 12 rounds, for Pacquiao's WBO welterweight title
    ; Timothy Bradley Jr. vs. Joel Casamayor, 12 rounds, for Bradley's WBO junior welterweight title; Mike Alvarado vs. Breidis Prescott, 10 rounds, junior welterweights; Luis Cruz vs. Juan Carlos Burgos, 12 rounds, junior lightweights; Dennis Laurente vs. Ayi Bruce, 8 rounds, welterweights.

    I'm a fan of both Pugs, but Pac figures to win the trilogy fairly easy, the only thing i'm not sure about is whether or not he stops JMM. My gut feeling is Juan the warrior takes a beating, but the fight goes the distance, unless he gets stopped by cuts.

    As for Bradley vs Casamayor, Tim should take care of business, by either a clearcut UD or Casamayor just dying of old age in the championship rounds.

    What do you kats think?

    Looks like a stellar card!

    I'll be cheering for Marquez

    Bradley should clean up

    Interested to see Alvarado, this is a big stage for him to shine

    Cruz is in tough, but he's the goods

    I would love to see Bradley in against a not-decrepit Casamayor. I'd wager Casa would take him apart.

    Bradley by TKO now though.

    Casa is now 40, so he's definitely past his best. But still crafty as hell & can bang a bit

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Bradley on the Canvas at some point, but he get back up to win a wide decision

    Casamayor has to be totally shot by now, I believe Bradley schools him, but probably doesn't knock him out.

    Yeah I think Casamayor is done, I feel if Bradley can set a brisk pace he may be in a position to stop the Cuban in the late rounds

    Casa is going to quit on his stool between rounds 8-10. I'm calling it now .

    Seeing that it's $64.95, the least Top Rank could do is put Bradley in with someone dangerous, instead of a faded name fighter from a lower weight class.

    I could see Pacquiao-Marquez III being like Pacquiao-Morales III, where an older, slower fighter finds himself outgunned, but chooses to go toe-to-toe instead of being cautious, resulting in an entertaining (but short) fight.

    I could also see more of a boxing match, where Marquez has his moments, but can't consistently land sharp counter punches as much as he did in the first 2 fights. In this type of fight, Pacquiao bangs out a clear UD or gets a late stoppage.

    In their 2nd fight, I thought Marquez fought as well as he can possibly fight. Since then, Marquez has declined (although he's still a great fighter) while Pacquiao has improved. I don't see what Marquez could possibly do better now than what he did in their previous bouts, but there are new things that Pacquiao can do to Marquez.

    I predict an 11th round ref stoppage.

    Pac by TKO.

    Or the corner might stop it, Manny has improved since 2008 JMM has not. Marquez however, has never been stopped, so we shall see.

    I will be 100% rooting for Marquez. I expect him to be looking old and hit-able.

    I agree with this scenario, but Marquez figures to see the final bell, unless he gets busted up and the fight gets stopped by the ref on cuts.
