0 comments
On March 15, 2008, in a rematch against Juan Manuel Márquez called "Unfinished Business", Pacquiao won via split decision. The fight was held at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. With the victory, Pacquiao won the WBC Super Featherweight and The Ring Junior Lightweight World Titles, making him the first Filipino and Asian to become a four-division world champion, a fighter who won world titles in four different weight divisions. The fight was a close hard fought battle, during which both fighters received cuts. Throughout the fight Márquez landed the most punches at a higher percentage; however, the decisive factor proved to be a third-round knockdown, wherein Márquez was floored by a Pacquiao left hook.At the end of the fight, the judges' scores were 115–112 for Pacquiao, 115–112 for Márquez, and 114–113 for Pacquiao.

In the post-fight news conference, Márquez’s camp called for an immediate rematch. In addition, Richard Schaefer, Golden Boy Promotions CEO, offered a $6 million guarantee to Pacquiao for a rematch.However, Pacquiao ruled out a third clash with Márquez, saying, "I don't think so. This business is over."The reason that Pacquiao did not want a rematch was because he intended to move up to the lightweight division to challenge David Díaz, the reigning WBC Lightweight World Champion at that time. Díaz won a majority decision over Ramón Montano that night as an undercard of the "Unfinished Business" fight.

In 2004, Pacquiao faced for the first time Juan Manuel Marquez, after defeating Marco Antonio Barrera for featherweight title. At that time, Juan Manuel Márquez was holding both the World Boxing Association (WBA) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) Featherweight World Titles. The fight took place at the MGM Grand Las Vegas, on May 8, 2004, and after twelve rounds the bout was scored a draw, which proved to be a controversial decision that outraged both camps.

In the first round, Márquez was caught cold, as he was knocked down three times by Pacquiao. However, Márquez showed great heart to recover from the early knockdowns, and went on to win the majority of rounds thereafter. This was largely due to Márquez's counterpunch style, which he managed to effectively utilize against the aggressive style of Pacquiao. At the end of a very close fight, both boxers felt they had done enough to win the fight. The final scores were 115–110 for Márquez, 115–110 for Pacquiao, and 113–113. One of the judges (who scored the bout 113–113) later admitted to making an error on the scorecards, because he had scored the first round as "10–7" in favor of Pacquiao instead of the standard "10–6" for a three-knockdown round.If this judge had scored the round "10–6" for Pacquiao (as the other two judges did) the result would have been a split decision in favor of Pacquiao.

Roach says about Pacquiao’s Main Weapon

0 comments

Former WBO featherweight champion Jorge Linares of Venezuela believes that Manny Pacquiao will beat the crap of Juan Manuel Marquez because Pacquiao is quite doing well during their sparring at Baguio City, Philippines Capital. The Pacquiao vs. Marquez 3 will be third time bout will just goes under four or five rounds to knock-out Juan Manuel Marquez. Though Linares compliments was just considered as 80% yet Freddie roach knows that it will happened, Marquez will fall down on the floor and Manny will win.

The Pacquiao vs. Marquez 3 instead of taking advantage of Marquez’s punch problems, Roach told Manny Pacquiao the opposite. “I had to tell him Marquez is a good jabber. He is one of the best jabbers in boxing today”, Roach said. And that had given an important impact to Pacquiao to strive more towards his training and Pacquiao attitude of being humble is equivalent to be a winner.

Both Pacquiao and Roach were convinced that they have won the welterweight champion in their first meeting last 2004 even if it ended in a controversial draw. Pacquiao has been training hard in Baguio that even his sparring partner Jorge Linares proves Pacquiao to be a greater threat than anyone else and that’s his big advantage. Except from the continuous sparring session with Linares, Pacquiao has also been growing his stamina with regular runs and building it through his own belief by during his favorite sport basketball. On their third fight this coming November 12, 2011 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.For Pacquiao this third fight is to end up their controversial issueand this is the fight of Pacquiao vs. Marquez III.
