I think a lot of people think because Pacquiao has a lot of head movement that he isn't easy to hit. When thats false, because Pacquiao squares his shoulders up and he leaves a lot of countering opportunities. I also see a lot of people saying Marquez won't be able to pull of a miracle like he did the 1st time. But do people honestly think a great fighter like Marquez will be caught cold and off guard twice ?? i also think Marquez won the 1st fight i believe i had it 8 rounds to 4 for Marquez. The key to this fight for Marquez is countering and timing, he has to time Pacquiao's feints take a step back then rattle off a few quick sharp punches, then get out of there. I think Marquez should basically fight the same fight as he did the 1st time without the 1st round of course, he basically fought the perfect blueprint on how to beat Pacquiao. And if Marquez uses his tactics correctly by choosing when to be aggressive and when not to i think he will win a clear cut UD.
See your still stuck on the first fight, its where your totally wrong cause your not considering the big difference in the pacman then and the pac of now. Pac threw the same two jab-straight left all night at JMM in that first fight. It was pretty basic but JMM still had a hard time simply becuase pacs speed and dangerous power. You also stated that people think pac is hard to hit cause he has good head movement. Im not sure who said that but that is barely the reason why people think pac wins fights.IMO pac does that for offense first rather then a defensive tactic. He moves his whole upper body not just head movements side to side to give his oppenent different looks and angles it gives pac the hesitant second to land a misleading punch or some quick straights. Hopefully your actually watching footage cause if you are, eric did that in the first fight against pac. He use pacs body movement tactic against pac, marco also tried it in the rematch but it didn't work for him.
Another thing I would like to add that cause pac trouble is taunting him, eric did a lot of it during the first fight which made pac hesitant and a bit out of his comfort zone. That and what I stated earlier in my post helped eric to beat pac. Im so disspointed not many here do not see these basic facts and are quick to claim that pac will just lose cause eric beat him that lead them to conclude jmm will beat him too just cause....Come on first of all pac was a lot younger and raw those days and they still base it on those past fights but them themselve don't really see the true factors that led to pac losing to eric or a draw with jmm.
Man wheres CUTMEMICK, Im sure he'll give some good thoughts into why either JMM or pac will win rather then whats already been said in this thread which is dissapointing since this is a well respected boxing forum.
Mick thinks Marquez will win a UD, and i don't like what your implying either. Like are opinion isn't good enough.
You keep saying about these major improvement's but i didn't see any major improvements in Pacquiao in his last fight. He looked sloppy and if he fights Marquez the same way he will get beaten clearly.
Pacquiao has improved since the Marquez fight but it isn't *Major* improvements. Marquez can still work him out like i said earlier timing is the key here. Pacquiao is fast but the way to beat speed is timing. And Marquez is good at timing his opponent and then countering and getting out of there.

I thought you changed your pick because you was a long time fan of Barrera ?? plus you was going with your heart and not your head ?? i really don't know what else i can say, i have brought up all the reasons i think Marquez will win without being biased.

I just think you've base your thoughts on this coming rematch too much on the first fight. I can't believe your still convince pac has made no major improvements; the right hooks, the leg work, anticipating punches, better controlled aggression, THE SIZE, ring generalship,settlement, picking shots. Pac has improve those and it has made him a better boxer. In JMMs case he is brawling more, which is unlike him em i not right? BOTH fighter are not the same fighter they were when they first fought. I don't want to dismiss people that just keeps basing their opinion on the first fight but it makes no real sense since both fighters are NOT the same anymore.
Re: Pac vs JMM (rematch) vote and explain
Ok Rains i will give my two cents right now without being biased on how Marquez can beat Pacquiao. First off he needs to move clockwise thats the basic's when fighting a southpaw. Thats what i learned in the gym that way he can stay away from Pacquiao's best weapon the left hand. Another thing when fighting a southpaw is that a straight right hand is the best weapon when fighting against a southpaw, some experts may argue its the left hook but from footage i've seen, plus when i have been sparring with southpaws the best weapon is the straight right hand. Now if you look at Pacquiao vs Marquez you will see that Marquez staggered Pacquiao with straight right hands quite a few times. Thats one of the keys for Marquez the straight right hand.
Now another key for Marquez is timing, now the old saying is that timing beats speed and that is correct. Now Pacquiao does have a lot of head movement but if you are really concentrating on your opponent you can counter them as there coming in. And thats basically what Marquez needs to do, he needs to watch Pacquiao's shoulder's etc, time the feint take one step back and counter him with a jab, right hand, right down the pipe. Also one of the best ways to offset a fighters rhythm is the jab. Marquez has a pretty decent jab he needs to throw it at least 30 times to offset Pacquiao's rhythm and that stops your opponent getting anything off. And because Pacquiao is a highly aggressive fighter the jab will be a very good weapon for Marquez to use.
Another little fact when fighting a Southpaw is you need to keep your lead leg outside of the southpaw’s lead leg, that way you are forcing him to move to your right *his left* which is against his natural power. And it also opens the southpaw up to right hand leads and left hooks which are the two best punches to use against a southpaw, which Marquez uses very well.
One last thing is that you don't need to come forward against Pacquiao, you just need to pick your shots and choose when and when not to be aggressive just to get enough respect from Pacquiao.

Much better, another thing that pacs oppenent fail to consistently do is to go to his body. I barely see anyone hit pac to the body. IMO JMM needs to put enough damage to pacs body to slow him down to avoid pac dominating later on with his speed,stamina and power. The counter ability of JMM is already there what he needs to do is focus on the basic or the little things just like you said his position keeping himself at the ring angle so pac can't get off his punches at a dangerous range. Now this is what I was hoping for a quality debate, not a bunch of played out opinions over and over again. Anyways, if you watch footage of pac especially in the marco rematch. You can see where he puts himself infront of his oppenent. There are times when pac dodges out of range then quickly goes right back to where he is at an angle where he feels he can get his shots off quick and hard. People never pay attention to details now a days, they just go on bias thoughts to lead them to bias conclusion. Another thing that pac has improve on his cutting off the ring, again, many people believe pac is just an aggressive little brawler but he is a decieving fighter. (not to sound all braggy about my boy) but he does do little things that are never mention. Cutting of the ring is one of the best thing he does and pac is prolly one of the best fighter that can do that.
BAck to JMM, IMO JMM needs to rely on pac making mistakes then to rely on beating him to the punch cause pac is faster between the two. JMM needs to pick his shots wisely cause if not pac will not only land one but he'll get in atleast two. Another thing JMM needs to look at is the way pac rallies back when he is hit off balance or with any good shot. Ice you said pac has not made any major improvements but if you watch footage of him enough Im sure you'll understand his more of a complete fighter now. If you watch round 6 of the mab rematch, you can see that mab did have the abbility to hit pac cleanly cause yes pac is not a great defensive fighter BUT the problem with that is pacs ability to rally right back through his oppenents. Marco at times won the exchange but pac landed some bigger shots and it seem to be discouraging that pac is not that faze by marco winning the exchange. Whats worst is when pac actually wins the exchange cause he puts out an onslaught. This IMO is what JMM should not rely on, he should not rely on winning exchanges cause it is a lose lose situation against pac. Like i said, pac at times lose the exchanges but he discourage his oppenents simply because he shows no sign of slowing down and when he does win the exchange well its obvious that does damage. Like me and you Ice, JMM IMO does need to rely on timing he needs to take advantage of when pac is either off balance or squaring up wildly. When Pac squares off, its either he takes it or he dishes out damage. Again JMM should not rely one exchanging, he should put one or two clean shot on pac then move. Do not let more then two second go by without moving out of the way. This way he hit pac without pac being able to rally back cause he had already gotten out of range away from pac. NOt necessary stick and move but just take advantage of pacs mistakes to make him look bad. There are still a lot of factors though.

I agree Rains but the only problem with that is that to go to the body effectively you have to get close to your opponent. And because Marquez will be fighting on the outside, throwing body shots from the outside is dangerous and is a big no no, because your hands drop and you leave such easy countering opportunities for your opponent. and because of how powerful and quick Pacquiao is he would easily tag Marquez and spark him out no question in my mind. Unless Marquez times Pacquiao coming in and ducks then shoots out a good body shot, and if he landed it correctly and effectively that would do major damage to Pacquiao because he would be walking right into it.

What a lot of Pacquiao's opponent's don't realize is that when Pacquiao bob's and weaves there is always a pattern. Just like with Tyson when he bobbed and weaved, and you can actually time it and counter. Little details like that can help in a big way.

Like i said earlier Rains this is where timing comes into play, no matter how fast your opponent is. If you can time them effectively your timing will always beat there speed. And thats basically what Marquez needs to do time Pacquiao's feints etc.

Im not trying to say he hasn't made much improvements because he has, but not *Major* improvements IMO, he still has the same flaws Marquez can take advantage of. But i will give Pacquiao his credit he uses good angles now and he has a much better variety of punches.

I think the main problem was that Barrera was too gun shy, he did use some good tactics like with his jab and his movement. But he wasn't landing enough hurtful punches on Pacquiao and he didn't get any respect from Pacquiao. Plus he didn't pull the trigger when there were countering opportunities.

Im in total agreement here good posting a lot of boxers are too macho and try and finish exchanges when it isn't to there best advantage. But i think Marquez is too smart for that, i know you don't like me bringing up 1st fight but i need to here to explain a point. If you see in the 1st fight that Marquez would land 3 or 2 good punches and Pacquiao would fire back and sometimes win the exchange, but Marquez didn't get let his pride get in the way and he just stepped back and continued to fight his fight.
Pacquiao does sometimes go off balance when he is coming in, your right about that and a good counter puncher like Marquez can for certain take advantage of that. And im glad you also see my point about when Pacquiao squares his shoulders up and leaves countering opportunities.
I would just like to finish off by saying i really do like Pacquiao as a fighter, i think people get the wrong impression of me because i have gone against Pacquiao in some fights. But i have stuck up for Pacquiao in the past believe it or not. I really enjoy watching him fight he is a true warrior with great power and quick hands, whats not too like about his boxing ??
He also ducks nobody and i really admire him for taking this fight, im rooting for Marquez but if Pacquiao wins you won't see any sour grapes from me, may the better man win and lets hope we see a competitive great action packed fight.
Im off the bed now because im really tired i will continue this tomorrow with you because i have enjoyed this debate so far.
Re: Pac vs JMM (rematch) vote and explain
I actually think Barrera had one half of a great fight plan in his rematch against Pac. Marco's movement and defense made Pac miss quite a bit in the fight. But he obviously no longer had it in him to let his hands go. In retrospect...i think Barrera's last great effort was his fight against Marquez. He didn't have the heart and offensive sharpness against Manny. If Marquez can remain sharp and hungry...i can see him countering Pac and winning a tough fight on points.
Re: Pac vs JMM (rematch) vote and explain
I, for one, believe this is a toss-up fight. Manny has more tools than the first fight, but Marquez also knows he can dominate Manny. I think Marquez was just caught off guard in the first round of the first fight, but Marquez usually starts off slow and Manny starts of quick. If anyone out there can stop Pacquiao, it's Marquez.
This time around, I believe Manny will pull out a late KO. Like the first fight, Manny will take the early rounds, Marquez will take the middle rounds, but eventually I feel Marquez will trade (like he's been doing his last couple fights) later on and get caught.
Manny has been out of focus throughout 2007 but I KNOW he remembers the first fight and will not take Marquez lightly. If he does, he deserves to lose.
Re: Pac vs JMM (rematch) vote and explain
Manny has improved technically since the first fight. Juan Manuel has altered too. Not entirely to his detriment, but he may have surrendered the dge he had over manny.
Re: Pac vs JMM (rematch) vote and explain
i went for PACMAN , i think he has improved alot since the first fight , the fact that both fighters will kinda know wot the other is going to try makes it and interesting match for sure.
PAC KO 3
Re: Pac vs JMM (rematch) vote and explain
I've voted for Pac by UD.
Here are my reasons:
Pac if he trains with full concentration and no distractions, he will come fully prepared.
Allthough JMM beat Barerra, I thought it was a close fight and allthough at this stage in their respective carears JMM poseses more danger to Pac than Barerra would, IMO Pac will have the measure of JMM but only just.
JMM has amazing skills but a slighlty younger and fresher Pac will be abit to much to handle, I mean it's a very tough call but this time round I believe we'll see Pac start very strong and finish strong, with the middle rounds going to JMM.
JMM will be fully up for this fight of that there is no doubt and he will make the fight difficult for Pac, but if Pac takes this fight very seriouslly (and I'm sure he will, he has to) then the greater speed and punching combinations and the accuracy of the combo's from Pac will see him to a UD.
I see JMM working from the outside and using his own speed and combo's but I see Pac hitting harder and working on the inside and then getting back out and going upstairs.
I know I've gone on abit so to sum it up.
Pac will have the greater workrate and better punch combo's due to his speed.
