Pacquiao vs. Marquez III - Saturday fight/chat thread

[Mars_ax]

PPVs in the US are highway robbery. I'm not paying for this fight. If they were 30-35 dollars I'd buy almost every single one. When they charge so much, I'm not buying a PPV unless it is absolutely stacked from top to bottom (like Cotto vs Cheato II) or the main event has to be unbelievable (like Pac vs Mayweather would be).

$64.95 is a ripoff, especially for this fight, which doesn't figure to be all that competitive. I bet this fight does however get a lot of PPV buys, from casual fans who think they're going to see something great.
The undercard fights should be starting in a few minutes.

Aloha Folks!

I think Manny is on the downside but is still better than he was for JMMII and I can't see JMM staying with him.

Of course there's this nagging thought that "styles make fights."

Niiice combination punching!

Burgos will taste the canvass soon. Those punches are stupid wide.

First up Luis Cruz vs. Juan Carlos Burgos, 12 rounds, junior lightweights, already in the second round, Cruz gets hurt at the end of the 2nd round.

Burgos will taste the canvass soon. Those punches are stupid wide.

Cruz really looks like he's trying to set something up. But he HAS to stop going straight back.

Cruz not liking those shots to the body and takin some big shots to the head as well

[marbleheadmaui]

Burgos is a toughie.

I don't know how Cruz was permitted in the gym to step straight back, but not out of range, time after time.

[CFH]

3-1 Burgos. Thought Cruz edged that last round, but only because Burgos let up.

[marbleheadmaui]

I wonder if Burgos can keep up the pace. If he can? He's got a real shot here.

[CFH]

If Burgos had more power Cruz would already be asleep.

[CFH]

I wonder if Burgos can keep up the pace. If he can? He's got a real shot here.

He's been looking tired these last two rounds.

[marbleheadmaui]

I have it 4-1 Burgos but Cruz seems to be seeing the Burgos punches a little bit better.

Burgos still the energizer bunny.

[CFH]

4 - 1 Burgos. Anyone know who promotes Cruz? I'm smelling a robbery already.
