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

[Tam Seddon]

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.

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

What time does the fight start in the UK??

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

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.

[Mars_ax]

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

[Mars_ax]

Officially Fortuna wins a UD. zzzz

[Kirkland Laing]

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.

[Mars_ax]

Up next: Miguel Vazquez vs. Mercito Gesta, 12 rounds, for Vazquez's IBF lightweight title.

[Gandalf]

Nice one! The site is much quicker.

I thought the last fight was alright, but both fighters are no match for the top guys in their divisions.

I'm supporting Vasquez in this one.

[Gandalf]

Gesta seems like he is in some kind of coma. Easy work for Vasquez so far. 2-0.

[OumaFan]

At this point I see no reason to think Vazquez won't win a UD. That could change obviously.

I had to work overnight last night, I'm not sure I'm gonna make it to the main event. Seriously, we have another fight after this?

"Let me referee my fight. Shut up." Well said.

Can we just call this fight already on the assumption that nothings going to change in the next 8 rounds?
