I think it is pretty much a certainty that Manny "The Mexinator" Pacquiao is going to school Marquez in Boxing! The bookies are giving Juan Manuel Marquez 125/1 if he wins in ANY round! I am giving serious thought to spending £15 and sitting up till 4am to watch this, but I ust hate it when a fight lasts about 2 or so rounds... And I really think this won't go too far!
I'm a keen boxing fan and often stay up till the early hours to watch manny 'pacman'. This time, I've lost a little interest (as with some other times also) it's a money spinner and the result is not really in any question. IMHO I'll watch the recording to see pacman win within 5 rounds (prediction) One of these days though, he will take a fight too far (all for the greenback) and Phils will be stunned and crying. Maybe that will be a Mayweather fixture. Don't get me wrong I pick manny everytime as the best fighter with the biggest heart and the best attitude. But I do feel he has too much on his plate (personal and public) plus........disagree if you will, Mayweather is technically streets ahead. Whoops!! Anyways Pacman is the winner today/tomorrow
I'm with Dom, I'm not really a fan, my dad was a champion amateur boxer both in the army and just after the war in Scotland, I am a much more gentle soul Ana loves Manny's fights though and we watched one together when she was last here in early 2010, I downloaded it for her.
Controversial win, apparently....... Lots of people disappointed with the decision.... maybe one of the reasons I totally lost interest is the fact that there is no showmanship anymore. Ali, Frazier, Foreman and others of that generation, did put up a show before, during and after a bout, and the entertainment factor was there all the time. Now, they come in, they knock each other six shades of blue , collect the money and disappear.......
Manny was not convincing at all. Showed his lightning speed all too rarely today. His opponent won too many rounds for comfort. Maybe it's time for him to quit - before he gets hurt. However, his career in politics is bound to lose him a lot (millions) of fans when he becomes yet another corrupt politician - it's bound to happen isn't it? Oh, and PLEASE Manny - STOP SINGING!!!!! Your voice is even worse than mine (if that's humanly possible!!!!) Al.:england:
Manny said he wants a rematch so he can silence any critics.. I hope we see a rematch for around May!
Well done Manny, you're silence the Mexs again. Best pound for pound boxer ever. Keep going you're the most charitable bloke on this planet.
I must have blinked and missed all this charity work........ If wealthy people do anything charitable means only that they get better tax breaks........ They don't do it for anything else.........
Well I just had a long talk with Ana and to my great surprise she really felt that Manny lost that fight, she was very disappointed and says that a lot of her friends were very disappointed as well, not what I expected her to say at all She made a point that I should try to get a copy of the fight so I could make up my own mind
For anyone interested, this appears to contain some good 'insider' info on the judges (in USA) see things:- Dear Juan Manuel Marquez
