Who do you think will win? I’ll go for Manny Pacquiao! TKO 8 rd
Whats your prediction?
JMM by close decision. Though I wouldn’t be surprised in Pac won. This fight doesn’t seem to be generating the excitment I thought it would, but I’m sure that will change the closer it gets.
I think it will got the distance with Pacman getting a close UD.
Totally agree with CFH I thought there would be alot more attention on this fight but its been so quiet!!
I think pacman will win in this fight by 15 round koed
marquez wins UD
In this fight I won’t predict a winner as I am genuinely unsure and I eagerly awiat the result myself!
PacBeast will be back come March 15, just like the first mab fight and the third eric match. total annihilation!
NOTICE, for the first time in a long while. No haters or doubters coming on here trying to say pac is out of focus. Since he murdered mab thats where their hopes been at, at an unfocus pac coming into a fight.
Well here comes the PAIN, pac is in total training mode. Shiver, pachaters SHIVER! lol:cool:
Has there been much reported on Pacquaio’s training?
Pac by tko not sure when though
Roach unveils ‘3-punch killer’ to halt Marquez
http://www.inquirer.net/specialfeatures/ThePacquiaoFiles/view.php?db=1&article=20080215-119190
Fred Roach is doing a good job making Pac’s training routine strictly behind close door @ the WCG.
That’s what I’ve been noticing lately too. Hmmm… I don’t know why.
Maybe it’s because Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera were bigger names than Juan Manuel Marquez.
Okay. So I will be making some noise then. Hope I dont get bad reps this time. Had suffered a not so good cc/sc ratio for promoting the fights of Pacquiao.Hehehe;D
i thought pac by ko but as it gets closer to the fight i become more unsure of who is going to win
A perfect example of why Pac is not as beloved by more boxing fans. This guy is mentioning the 15th round !! Somebody revoke his account please …
Good, so that means there should be no excuses should Pac lose,
Everything suggests I should go for Marquez, but I’m not going to choose against Pac again.
reps up bro. pac will be in demolition mode this time cos he’s definitely motivated and everything’s going smoothly in his training camp. best performance from pac whenever he has something to prove. won’t even be close… well maybe in the first couple of minutes. 
who are you 
for sure! ;D I like jmm but pac ain’t playing no games this time around. Jmm is in trouble BIG TIME.
I tried to look at this fight at every angle but the more i hear from pacs camp. The less I have to think. Its going to be more one sided then the pac vs mab 1. Pac is going to put on a huge hurting on jmm. Im damn serious pac is loading up his guns like never before.
They’re going for a KO win…
INTERVIEW: FREDDIE ROACH
By Brad Cooney
Top notch fight trainer Freddie Roach sat down with Boxingtalk and gave us a thorough Manny Pacquiao camp update. Roach tells Boxingtalk that Manny will go for the knockout against Juan Manuel Marquez. Roach also addresses Manny’s current weight of 139 pounds, and says that it’s nothing to be worried about. Additionally, Roach talks about how he will be training Bernard Hopkins in preprartion for Hopkins’ bout against Joe Calzaghe.
Boxingtalk – Thanks for joining us Freddie. Manny Pacquiao is gearing up for his big rematch against Juan Manuel Marquez in March. Talk about how camp is going so far.
Freddie Roach – He’s doing very well. I have been running with him in the morning, well… I have been running behind him in the morning, (laughs), and I can’t keep up with him. I haven’t seen him this excited since the first time that he fought [Marco Antonio]Barrera. We have 4 weeks to go, and he’s looking very good. We had 9 rounds of sparring on Saturday, and we used 3 sparring partners. I have a strong guy to press Manny, I got a counter puncher, and I got a guy that will run, all to give Manny different looks. We know the keys to victory, and we’ll show you what they are on fight night.
BT – Which Marquez do you think will show up, the aggressive style or the counter puncher?
FR – I think he will fight more of a counter punching style. I don’t see him capable of doing that though, the first fight with Manny took something out of him. The best fight that I ever seen Marquez in was against Pacquiao, and he’ll need to fight like that again.
BT – Do you think that it’s possible that Marquez may have a little more pressure on his back this time? Usually it’s Manny having his entire nation on his shoulders. Marquez is the only active Mexican legend that Manny hasn’t beat. Do you think it’s possible that Marquez wants this more for his Mexican fans?
FR – He might, but the thing is I think that people try to make this into a racial thing between Mexico and The Philippines. Manny loves everybody, he has Mexican fans too. Manny is more of a typical Mexican style of fighter than Marquez ever thought of being. Marquez is not a typical Mexican style fighter, he doesn’t fight in the fashion that the Mexican fans like. I’ll even say that I think Manny has more Mexican fans than Marquez does.
BT – Come on Freddie, do you really think that?
FR – Yea, it’s just Manny’s style. If Marquez ever fought back in the day, the Mexican fans would have booed him out of the place. They like the style of Julio Cesar Chavez, that’s what Mexicans like. They like warriors like Manny Pacquiao.
BT – I think you should come out with a Mexican flag shirt on then Freddie (laughs).
FR – (Laughs), They might shoot me.
BT – Floyd Mayweather once wore it. He loves Mexico.
FR – He wants the Mexican fans too, but he doesn’t have the style that they like.
BT – What’s the biggest difference in Manny’s game this time around, as opposed to the last time he fought Marquez?
FR – Manny is a more balanced fighter right now. We had great success in the early rounds in our last fight, then Marquez came back. But now, Manny knows how to adjust better. If Manny gets Marquez down this time, he’ll keep him down.
BT – Will Manny knockout Marquez?
FR – We are going for the knockout. We have all intentions of knocking him out. After Manny’s last two fights, we need to fight a great fight. We are moving up in weight and going for those titles after this fight.
BT – Nick Giongco reported that Manny was 140 pounds, can you elaborate on that some?
FR – We need to lose 9 lbs with a month to go, so no problem at all. He’s eating good, he’s running good, his discipline is good. Manny is very focused, so don’t worry, we are not going to wait for the last minute to make weight, that’s for sure.
BT – How’s sparring going so far?
FR – I have a lot of sparring partners for Manny, and it’s working out good. I have a new guy that comes in tomorrow, I’m told he’s a clone of Marquez. I am anxious to see him.
BT – Are you any closer to finalizing a deal with Bernard Hopkins?
FR – Yes, Bernard will be in camp on February 20th.
BT – So it’s a done deal?
FR – Yep, Bernard’s people informed me that he’ll be in camp February 20th with me.
BT – Manny fights on March 12th, are there any concerns from Pacquiao’s people with Bernard being in camp at the same time Manny is?
FR – We can work around that. I work a long day, so I’ll separate the two guys. When I go to Vegas for Manny’s fight, Bernard is coming with me.
BT – Interesting match up with Bernard Hopkins vs Joe Calzaghe. How do you see this fight playing out?
FR – Well Bernard will have to fight a very strategic fight. If Calzaghe can keep that work rate up like he usually does, that can be effective. Bernard is a real smart fighter, and he knows how to take things away from his opponent, especially against an offensive minded guy like Calzaghe. Bernard will try to set him up into traps. There’s nothing Bernard hasn’t seen, but this is going to be a tough, tough, fight. Bernard knows himself, so we’ll come up with a good game plan. Bernard probably knows more about boxing than the both of us.
BT – Do you have any closing thoughts for the fans?
FR – Thanks to all of Manny’s fans, and to the Mexican fans. Manny is very focused for this fight, and we are going to fight a smart fight. We are going for the knockout. I am sure Marquez is in great shape, and he better be.
