Who do you guys think will win?
I think Manny will own Marquez this time. He is the younger fighter, is a lot better than the last time they met and is actually using the right hand now.

I agree with what you said. Manny TKO 4th round.

Damn, really? I have Pacquiao winning, but I think this fight will go at least 8-10. Sure Marquez might have sucked a bit after the first fight, but he had a better year than Pacquiao did last year in fights and conditioning. But if Roach did make Pacquiao a complete fighter along with Pacquiao actually training 100% this time (nowhere near last year), Pacquiao could be more dangerous than thought.
Pacquiao TKOs Marquez in the 10th. Should be match of the year, especially considering the scheduling, doesn't look like it will be a great year in boxing.

It won't top Vasquez-Marquez III. That's the Fight of the Year, 2nd best fight of the decade (Castillo-Corrales is obviously #1) and nothing is gonna come close.
It'll be a good fight though, but I think Pacquiao is gonna run over Marquez this time. Manny TKO 7.

I am calling for an upset with Marquez getting the UD. He is a great counter puncher and has underrated power. He is the type of guy who makes you look silly if you are careless with your punches and Pacman will never be confused with Mayweather in terms of techinical skills. It has been the year of the upset with as Quintana and Campbell have shown. Logic tell me that Pacman will win in a blowout but that is what I thought about the Williams and Diaz fight.

Wow... this is what I love about boxing. The difference between the fight was 1 point. The knockdown. I had it a draw. It could have gone either way.

I had Marquez winning the fight, but I think Pacman's knockdown in the 3rd round played big in the minds of the judges.

I had Pacquiao winning 7 rounds to 5 (one round looked even, but I gave it to PacMan because he landed the stiffer, flush shots in that round) ... But the judge who had it 115-112 in favour of Marquez should have his judging license revoked (that equates to 8-4 Marquez, which is ludicrous) ... Marquez could've shown a bit more class after the fight, but no embrace, no touching of gloves, then b*tching in the post fight interview ...

Yeah... Marquez needs to go to the Shane Mosley school of humility.

Unfortunately the classy Mosley-types in the boxing world are few and far between ...

I don't think it was too outrageous... he landed the cleaner shots and landed more of them. It just depends on what you value more.

I think they both had their fair share of flurries ... Manny seemed to fade in the final three rounds, which is why I personally scored the fight close ... Don't get me wrong though, the 3rd round knockdown was definitely the difference, but the cut over PacMan's right eye was a huge factor in his mid-round struggles as well ... From another perspective, I could see a judge giving Marquez a 7-5 advantage as well, but like you said it all depends on what you value more ... But I think 8-4 is very deceptive because it makes it look like Marquez controlled much of the fight ...

I had the fight 115-112 Pacquiao with the rounds 7-5 (I think mine was almost like Lederman's card except a few rounds switched). I would not dismiss the Mexican fans who felt Marquez should've won, but I also won't dismiss the Filipino fans who say the judges made the right decision (look at my card). Great night for boxing and the becoming too familiar with Filipino and Mexican room of fans made it even better. Too bad there isn't another rematch coming with Pacquiao moving up in weight class to fight Diaz.
