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

Pacquiao couldn't decisively beat him 2008, when he was near his peak. He's declined since 2009 and his last encounter with Marquez was his worst performance yet.

I'm going with Marquez this fight, by knockout. This fight should define the entire Marquez-Pacquiao episode.

Well hopefully it will, I know I damn sure won't be watching a Pac-JMM V.

Alrighty, here we go, Javier Fortuna vs. Patrick Hyland, 12 rounds, for vacant WBA interim featherweight title.

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.

What time does the fight start in the UK??

You can't really post anything when the site is lagging like this. Usually you can post in real time and post round by round, but it's just not happening today. I'm just going to try and watch and see if I can post later. Anyway enjoy the fights! Something doesn't sit easy with a man fighting the P4P number 1 when he is 39, but Marquez has proven himself the better boxer over 3. It's almost like they keep fighting just so Pac can eventually get the man when he is finally just too old. Hopefully that won't be the case here.

39 is ancient in any division and that is just an unavoidable fact. However, there are aberrations and hopefully Marquez really is kryptonite.

Hyland fucking sucks

I'm just going to do the best I can, the lag is terrible and frustrating. Fortuna is pretty much dominating after 6 rounds.

Just guessing, sometime around 3:30 or 4:00 AM Tam, 2 more undercard fights first.

What do you expect when he has Snooki as part of his team.

Thanks

Can anyone get me a stream for this? i'M struggling.

This fight is fucking terrible. Fortuna seems fast but he's all show and no substance. Hyland is not a world level fighter. Seems like they just wanted to give Fortuna a title. He'll get found out soon enough. Hyland appears already found out.

Hyland, likely needs a KO going into the 12th or Fortuna will win a decision.

Officially Fortuna wins a UD. zzzz

Evening all. I was thinking Marquez wins the fight, Manny gets the decision. I'm now thinking Manny wins the fight too. Maybe even a late stoppage. Going for Gesta here, think he has enough to do this.
