Cotto-Margarito 2 on December 2, 2011! Lets’ Get It On!
Juan Manuel Marquez’s camp has upped the ante for the Mexican to accept a fourth fight with Filipino boxing superstar rival and the current pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao.
After Juan Manuel Marquez declared that he preferred Mexico to be the venue of a possible May 2012 meeting with Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines, here comes his trainer Ignacio ‘Nacho’ Beristain demanding a sky-rocketing purse for the best Mexican technical fighter today.
“25$ million on the table,” said Beristain from his famous Romanza Boxing gym in Mexico City.
Top Rank’s Bob Arum, who promotes both Pacquiao and Marquez, signified his intention on his plan to stage a fourth and possibly the final fight between the two great boxing rivals Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez in the wake of the Filipino’s controversial majority decision win over the Mexican last week at MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA in their WBO Welterweight Championship.
Beristain pointed out that the mere fact a fourth fight is being proposed about meant that Juan Manuel Marquez could have been overlooked as the likely winner the last time.
Pacquiao-Marquez 3 was truly put in a record book as one of the greatest trilogy in boxing but very controversial decision when the judges saw Manny Pacquiao winning majority decision over the great Mexican fighter Juan Manuel 'Dinamita' Marquez.
This is controversial and Juan Manuel Marquez clearly won the fight! This is again the claimed majority of the boxing fans and other boxing analyst who really believed that Marquez clearly outpoint and outbox but never dominated Manny Pacquiao on their Pacquiao-Marquez greatest trilogy.
Pacquiao fans was also in shocked and dismayed after the fight as they believed Juan Manuel Marquez edges their idol and finally Juan Manuel Marquez proved this time that he is the better man. But then again, when the judges announces their decision for 115-115, 15-113 and finally the 116-112 that favored Manny Pacquiao they were surprised and praised that their idol Pacman still able to outpoint the gallant stand of the great Mexican fighter. Erupted and mixed feelings being showcased by Pacquiao fans but at the end of the day its boxing and judges sees what we haven't seen. Pacquiao won by majority decision!
We may thought that Juan Manuel Marquez won the fight because there's a lot of predictions and expectations that Manny Pacquiao will win it via TKO in the first round or in a later rounds. That predictions put in our mind and even in the minds of fans of Juan Manuel Marquez. That's what the fans focus both camps and so with boxing experts and they never thought the potential that this fight will go again in distance. So the expectations failed and we thought that Manny Pacquiao loses this fight against Juan Manuel Marquez. But think again, think again that every round you should score it and not waiting for a knockout and if you just intensely try to evaluate per round Manny Pacquiao was the one coming and pressing the attack and he hit hard and solid. Juan Manuel Marquez what he did is just protecting and countering but never done impressively of attacking the champion... Marquez should do the difference to make the judges give that fight to him..same style and now you have the same result. Pacquiao won via majority decision!
"What Do I Have To Do?" - This is the question that Juan Manuel Marquez asked to the judges during the post fight. Clearly, the answer is do different and give Pacquiao a boxing and fight like a warrior. You can't win at all by over protecting yourself. At the end of the day, Marquez did not do enough!
Juan Manuel Marquez promised to the fight fans that he will fight Manny Pacquiao toe to toe and he will knock out him but what was happened is he clearly protect himself and hesitant on his attack. Same old Marquez the counter punching expert and his experty is awesome but not enough to impress the judges not enough to defeat the pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines.
Would it be considered a robbery? Think it again folks even myself was dissapointed but getting into the fight and take it round by round, it was close but I saw Pacquiao winning. Though, we were not able to get our expectations for a knockout which is what he have anticipated but try to open your eyes and watched again the fight. You will see what the judges saw.
Let's us move on guys we may see again the 4th fight for this two great warriors Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines and Juan Manuel Marquez of Mexico.
Again, Congratulations Manny Pacquiao for winning the WBO Welterweight Belt. Keep up and God Bless!
