Many of you are not feeling this fight right now, but I’m pretty sure that most of you will still tune in. I mean how can you not? All three of their fights have been very close fights to call. Pacquiao and Marquez seem to know each other very well, and it shows. Both fighters seem to find answers for one another each and every time that they lock horns.
This battle is every bit of Nacho vs. Roach as it is Pacquiao vs. Marquez. I have always picked Pacquiao to beat Marquez, but for this last installment, I am going to go with Juan Manuel Marquez to finally get the official win over his arch rival. I strongly believe that Pacquiao’s inner confidence is long gone, and that is the main reason as to why he couldn’t put Bradley out in his last fight. Manny still has crazy speed, fast feet, and a lot of power, but the killer intensity that came from his inner confidence is what has lately been holding him back.
If Manny Pacquiao can somehow capture that kill or be killed intensity and apply it into his mental capacity, Pacquiao will then be able to finally stop Marquez once and for all. Question is, can that fire once again be recaptured?
Marquez on the other hand, seems to be the more confident fighter going into this clash. Pacquiao must see Marquez’s confidence as crystal clear as I can see it. Pacquiao must now more than ever transform into a dragon and spit out balls of flames at Marquez. You have got to take Marquez’s confidence away from him, just as he has done to you. If Pacquiao fails to do so, it’s going to then be Marquez once again countering and picking Pacquiao apart round after round.
As of right now, I’m picking Marquez to once and ”FOUR” all finally get the nod over Pacquiao. Marquez by split decision.
