not rooting for anyone... definitely not paying pay per view for this fight and probably wont even watch it on some internet stream...
Marquez looks like he was carved out of a block of granite... 39 and a gain like that it's no wonder Roach is saying he's on steroids. Plus Marquez' Trainer is a known for supplying roids to people he is working with.
It's going to be just like that Bradley fight, another controversial loss, this time the favor is going to Marquez... If Manny is able to knock Marquez out, I will be shocked and awe...
Everything is hype. I love how the older the athlete gets, the more you hear about the vices they gave up to make them somehow better. Age catches up to everyone. I have no doubt that this will be a descent fight, but anybody looking for a marquez-pac circa I & II are going to be disappointed. How many times can Freddie Roach proclaim Pac being focused. He was supposedly focused for the last Marquez fight. The facts are that boxing to Pac is a distant 4rd on his list of important things to focus on. Jinky comes first, then politics, then Karaoke and finally boxing. Marquez is hungrier. He will most likely win the fight.
Pacquiao has more to lose. Coming off a "loss", never cleanly beat Marquez, many people saying he's slowing down. Pacman has a lot to prove. Especially if he wants that Mayweather fight. Pacquiao-Marquez is Sold Out, Gate Over $10.5 Million http://www.boxingscene.com/pacquiao-marquez-sold-out-gate-over-105-million--60195 Where are all the MMA douchbags that keep proclaming boxing is dead and MMA is going to take over? I'm still waiting for that to happen....lol
I would assume that a large number of the gate ticketers are Mexican. I am sure that they have a rooting interest in Marquez finally getting his just due. But this fight holds only marginal interest for the rest of the world.
Marquez wife is really not that hot.. You look at Margarito's wife/ Cotto's wife, HOT!!!! Oh well, it's what you do in the ring that counts...
Floyd Mayweather Jr. made JMM a crossover star in boxing who cared about JMM like this until after he fought Floyd, thats why everybody wants to fight Mayweather... name recognition
