Marquez to have a tune up fight prior to Pac war 3

[ross]

Maybe Chris John should move up and give Marquez a chance to beat him?

No, the Indoneisna keeps hoping he's next on Floyd's hit parade...hell it'd only be moving up four divisions and Floyd would almost certainly agree to come in at 144...until he changed his mind the week of the fight

[:::PSL:::]

Juan Manuel Lopez was stopped by Salido
and Vasquez was also stopped by Arce


Both fights are huge UPSETS so much more than Diaz beating Marquez.


It would be messy if Diaz is able to ambush Marquez

Marquez knocking out Manny Pac is the upset I am waiting for!

1 year sig bet?

If history has taught me anything over the years, it is to not get excessively caught up in a Pac fight rooting for one of his opponents. I shall quietly decline your tempting offer. At 144 and with Marquez that bit older, I am just hoping more than anything else.

LOL. You know, you're sometimes caught in a wishful thinking and dreamy state but then your teacher wakes you up with a broom and then you realize the world is not perfect.

1 year sig bet would have been very very nice. LOL.

My fearless prediction for Pac vs Marquez

1. at 145 or 147 -------- Pac by brutal and savage TKO before the 6th round if Marquez engages Pac .
2. at 140 -------- Pac by brutal TKO before the 10th round if Marquez engages Pac




I've never been wrong with my predictions in Pac's fights.

I thought anyone knocking out Manny is the upset you are waiting for.

[marbleheadmaui]

It IS a really good idea. What JMM ought to do is fight Diaz at whatever weight he plans to show up to fight Manny so he gets used to what he can, and cannot, do with his body at that weight.

This is exactly right. He really should be fighting a junior welterweight or a welterweight in preparation for a fight against an ATG at 145, not Diaz who is 2-2 in his last four fights, at 135.

This fight is all WRONG!!!
Judah should be the fight!!! HELL, if Bradley don't fight Khan, it should be him(Bradley). I even go with Maidana. I'll even go with Morales or Lamont Peterson. But Diaz? I guess he's getting with the Pacman show and fighting opponents that was already beaten by a protential future opponent, to say I did better then you. (i.e. Mosley, Hatton, DLH to Floyd)
JMM is a professional. So I gotta believe that JMM will come ready to fight at his highest level. But looking past anyone in the boxing ring, have a bad smell to it. Another upset in the making. But I am glad he's staying active. I hope he wins but . . .

I don't think any of those guys you name could fairly be labelled a tune-up.

hell even David Diaz says he is not a tune up fighter

Exactly, if Manny can fight him for a title then Marquez can fight his as a stay busy fight. Diaz will likely be thinking quite differerently.

The fight is at 144, Bruce. What is your prediction at that weight then? You've predicted everything except for the weight that the fight is at.

I am making no predictions for this fight, I haven't really predicted a result since Hatton. I have been willing on the underdogs, but there have been no real expectations.

Not keen at all of Marquez even thinking about higher then 140. Just me. But combine some seriously hefty coin, a realization that he has but 1-2 major mega wars in him at this stage and a hefty dose of revenge on the mind and JMM has earned the right to do whatever he pleases leading into the culmination of a fine career. I think win or lose, Manny will be his last fight.

Diaz really not all that bad of a choice. JMM packs on the weight and going into Manny he's not exactly entering with blinders on. Diaz has a bad case of concrete in the boots and 'Grant' stamped on his forehead. Won't tax Marquez badly and good chance for Marquez to work the legs and gauge self. Not saying its a blow out, but pretty sure Marquez will bust him up badly and as he pleases. And get payed.

[CutMeMick]

I hope JMM can take the win without taking too much heat but just enough to get him warm...

for me its better Marquez should take Judah @ 140. hes currently a belt holder and also a southpaw.

That would be a Title fight far beyond the intention of a 'TUNE UP FIGHT'.

Yeah, you can't just go out and fight Judah in a tune up, he would have a very decent shot of winning. A tune up should be just that, a fight after an extended layoff to just hone and tune your skills in preparation for the big fight to follow.

Potentially getting knocked out by Zab Judah is not a tune up.
