Once again it's on bitches.

Wer'e back again for another installment of the Drunken Round by Round.

While this match may not have the high drama of last weekend's 3 round destruction of the great Erik Morales at the hands of the even greater Manny Pacquiao...it's still an important match up.

Wer'e going to be hitting the bottle hard right after the replay of the above mentioned destruction with HBO's Thanksgiving edition of Boxing After Dark as Juan Manuel Marquez takes on durable unknown Jimrex Jaca for the WBO's Featherweight Title.

This Saturday November the 25th, 2006 at the Dodge Arena in Hidalgo, Texas the former featherweight sensation Juan Manuel Marquez (49 fights, 45 wins with 34 ko's, 1 draw, & 3 losses) faces Jimrex Jaca (30 fights, 27 wins with 12 ko's, 1 draw, & 2 losses) of the Philippines, in a 12-rounder.

Usually...I post factors for these DRBR's...but...honestly people...this go around...I just aint got the time...too much family biz & I'm getting our November P4P list sorted out for discussion...so I'll make this one brief.

Marquez is known as one of the best P4P fighters in boxing. Marquez has lost 3 times...& those have been ify's. He lost to Chris John based on the fact that the hometown judges deemed his body shots to low & took enough points to equate to a win for John. Next! His very first Pro fight was a loss based upon a first round DQ. He lost to Norwood by way of a UD back in 1999 or 2000. After that...the biggie...the draw with Manny Pacquiao. This brought Marquez the most attention. After being knocked down three times in the first round...and hard I might add... he got up off the mat & fought back to nab a draw and keep his strap.

He would then go on to defeat Polo & Salido in low key bouts & then lose questionably to John (as stated above) before redeeming himself against Terdsak Jandaeng in a rough & tought see saw battle that ended in a 7th round TKO. Good stuff too.

Marquez wants bigger & better things by his own admission. He's signed with GBP in hopes of getting a crack at Pac & at Barrera...the Pac fight now may be unreachable due to the rivalry between Oscar & Arum...but there's still Barrera...provided that Pac doesn't eat him alive next March.

Again...all roads end at Pacquiao.

Right now though, the stop sign in Marquez's path is Jimrex Jaca...here again...all I know is that the kid is tought...but Marquez, IWO, is the tuffest of the tuff at his class...so we shall see...

I'll blab no further & say just this one thing:

Once again...it's fight night...so pour up a glass of your favorite poison, grab a seat on your favorite couch, toss the remote, peel your eyes, & break out the chips & salsa as we settle in for yet another installment of Wacko's Drunken Round by Round.

Cheers...& koneecheewah bitches.
