yea the problem is, pac isn't the same fighter he was now then the one eric first fought. dont you think?

That also showed in their second fight, pac had to improve himself to beat eric the second time and third time around and pac did.

I really don't think jmm can just counter himself to victory or keep pac off him and win rounds. Just like marco tried to do, he did avoided most of pacs aggression but in doing so he couldn't win rounds. IMO this will be the same problem for marquez, you can not just counter pac. Its not that easy, you must go forward also. You must take risk to win rounds against pac, just like eric did in the first fight. People are not understandind the fact that eric didn't just kept pac off. He beat him going backwards and forward. Imo erics natural advantage such as his height played a huge roll in beating pac the first time. JMM does not have height over pac or other physical advantage like eric did. I just can't see anyone thats not bigger beating pac while avoiding his explosive rallies.

I don't know why some people are saying pac did not look good in his past two fights? He dominated pretty easily. He took solis out, when he felt that it was time to. solis is not an elite but his a good b level undefeated fighter. He easily cruise into a u.d over a guy jmm nearly lost to. He landed over 50% of his powershots in that fight, how can anyone say that was a bad performance. IMO they are just use to pac being so violence that everytime he does not finish off his oppenent via ko or tko, its a bad performance. IMO thats the beggining of a new pacman, the kind that can box before he brawls.

If we look at jmm's recent fights, he dominated juarez easily. He went the distance in a very hard fought battle against marco and before that he fought some southpaw lesser fighters but he was hit a lot of times. IMO southpaws will always give jmm trouble and if you add pacs speed,power,stamina,relentless,and skills its hard to argue that marquez will just win via u.d cause he countered and kept pac off.

IMO theres only one way to beat pac and thats through him not going away from him. Like i said earlier, eric didn't just kept pac off he also took risk and beat him going towards and through pac. LOOK at all three of pacs lost, noun of them beat them by just keeping away. They all went through him to beat him. At this level of pacs career, its nearly suicidal to try and go through him. IMO if you don't, you may avoid most of his aggression for 12 rounds but you won't win enough rounds in doing so. Its a totally different pac then the one jmm first fought, thats for sure. IMO people are totally buying into the impression that it'll be the same fight. I think not, i don't think there will be an early knock down for pac and I don't think there will be a late rally for jmm and just counter himself to victory.

I think they'll measure eachother up for the first three rounds. After that they'll start landing a lot more, and imo its not jmms advantage if it goes on to the later rounds. I think pacs speed and misdirection shots will continue to get more and more frustrating for marquez. I can see the fight being competetive til the 10th round. Maybe 6 rounds to 4 for pac, but afterwards pacs speed,stamina and power will wash jmm up and finish him late.
