Final Prediction Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez

Marquez doing OK, but I still think Manny has won all 4 rounds so far.

 

same here

 

Personally, I think Pac needs to get away from this tactical approach a bit... get more aggressive, I don't know that JMM can really answer... Pac needs to test him for real

 

MARQUEZ! I hope he whoops the Pac!

 

that said, I still have it 3-1 Pac

 

Pacquiao-Marquez III
Round 5

Marquez lands right hand after about 30 seconds of silence between both fighters. Throws right, Pacquiao blocks. Nothing of note lands for Pac through 1st hand of round. Marquez lands uppercut. Pac misses wildly with left hand, though Lampley thought it landed (wasn't even close). Crowd chanting "MAR-QUEZ!", as he launches jab, overhand right. Marquez lands a right, Pacquiao driven backwards. Left uppercut, right hand for Marquez after Pacquiao scores with left. Marquez lands two more rights. Pacquiao lands right hook. Easily best round of the fight so far

Round 5: Marquez 10-9 / Pacquiao 49-46

 

3-2 Marquez

 

that was his best round so far though.

 

Marquez definitely won round 5.

Manny seems flat, before he would have been more aggressive in response to JMM's aggression.

 

Marquez won that one, I'd say, but HBO are ridiculous

 

3 -2 for Pac so far.

 

Pac feels the hurt of Marquez so he is cautious....I want to see some liver shots..Viva la Ciudad de Mexico! GS

 

my stream sucks

 

Pac does not like those shots from JMM

 

JMM can still pick him apart. I thought Pacquiao's power would have more of an effect on JMM but it's the same effect as the first two fights.

Round 6

Lampley turns to punchstats in search of any parallel between this fight and its preceding two. Aye yi yi. Marquez lands jab, Pacquiao falls short with his. Both fighters shooting jab. Marquez lands arm punch of a right hand, but Pacquiao's left hand blocked. Marquez lands right hands to body. Pac creeps in, Marquez lands right hand counter. Pacquiao lands left hand, right hook, left hand. Lampley, please STFU, Marquez lands two rights and a left hook, Pac with a right hook somewhere in between. Marquez lands right and left to the body at the end of the round.

Round 6: Marquez 10-9 / Pacquiao 58-56

 

Floyd would make Manny look ridiculous

 

Have it 3-3 now

JMM looks strong

PEDs, baby

 

Those punchstats don't sound right for the 6th but even if they're true, Marquez landed the more substantive punches in the round.

 

Floyd will KO Manny with ease if he wants to

 

jmm is winning this fight

 

Well there goes my prediction. My prediction skills are whack! I'll Holla 5000
