For the Third time, Manny Pacquiao (53-3-2), perhaps the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, and Juan Manuel Marquez, (53-5-1) a veteran fighter who has given Pacquiao two excellent bouts, will battle it out as welterweights when they meet at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Nov. 12, 2011.
Here Once again, Marquez battled back, and appeared to edge Pacquiao in the final rounds. Though the fight ended in a split decision victory for Pacquiao, many believe that Marquez deserved a slim victory.This will be the Boxing trilogy in history.For the upcoming fight, both fighters will probably need to make adjustments based on their past efforts.
There wonld not be a grudge between the two Boxing prize fighters, but there is certainly a score to settle.
The first fight was in May 2004, when the boxers were featherweights, and it turned out to be perhaps the best fight of that year. Pacquiao knocked down Marquez three times in the first round. The rest of the fight seemed to favor Marquez, who battled back with more power punches, as noted by CompuBox, and did an admirable job of minimizing the aggressive style of Pacquiao.
The second fight took place in March 2008, and this time the boxers were super featherweights at 130 pounds. Much like the first fight, Pacquiao's success stemmed from a knock down. When the Filipino legend floored Marquez in the the third round, it served as a major factor on the scorecards.
One reason that this should make for a great fight, aside from the past bouts, is the fact that the two are basically even in height and reach, and neither has a legitimate advantage in any specific category.
The much-anticipated bout is just a month away -- it has the makings of another classic.
