Its worth a free stream. Not a full PPV match unless it has a good undercard or two. Lately the undercard is way better than main events in boxing. Id rather watch a couple of nobodies beat the crap out of each other than two big names dance around the ring. As for this match. There will be a knockout. No way marquez loses in decision. He has too much pride for that. Its knockout or bust.
Both fights were close and I still think Marquez won the 2nd one. The fight being at 144 is not going to be as lopsided as the Mayweather fight from 2009 since both fighters are natural lightweights. However as others have said Marquez might be a bit slower due to going up in weight and being an older fighter. However I dont doubt the man's courage and experience and would not be surprised with an upset. Manny has become a better boxer even though he has been fighting inferior opponents. Still this is his best opportunity to erase any doubt he can beat JMM and erase the last two fights. For JuanMa this is unfortunately his last shot at Pacquiao and he better make it count. Canelo I have not watched as much but every one says he has not been tested yet and his fights have been picked.
this is true of every young good fighter. hell even today mayweather uses this strategy. that's boxing... anyways, he did fight rhodes and baldomir and dominated both. those guys are pretty decent. still, you have to beat the scrubs you face.
Canelo is good technically and is a very heavy puncher, but in his last fight he was getting hit a lot. That can't happen if he fights Pac-man.
LOL ok. They all say that until they get into the ring with him they all end up either playing defense or running a way. Until Canelo Alvarez fight a known calibre fighters than we'll talk.
Remember the Morales fights? I believe that this should have been Manny's "wake up" call. He only lost to Erik since the draw, and lost to no one else. Fourteen in a row! I agree with this assessment. That's what YOU said. Canelo reminds me of that kid from the Clippers. I don't remember his name right now.

Manny spoke spanish fluently for one sentence and then couldn't send them to commercial. He must have practiced all night. wonder if they'll do 24/7 for this fight? Is this on HBO?
Yup, 24/7 for this will start on Oct. 24th. They're also doing 24/7 for the upcoming Cotto/Margarito re-match in December

You won't get that from Mayweather... or any other "runner"... these two dudes step in the ring and FIGHT. I think this might be MARQUEZ's time... although Pac doesn't show signs of slowing down.
These two guys are awesome, can't wait for this fight... I never knew Marquez could speak some English....
Mayweather was actually pretty cool and classy at his Face Off with Ortiz. lol at Kellerman throwing all the questions at Marquez. He knows he shouldn't make Pacquiao talk.
Yeah, but... that was because Mayweather knew he was going to buy out Ortiz. "Hey... headbutt me in the 4th! Cool? Cool. "
