Pacquiao vs Marquez Saga

Today 's Boxing News 




Pacquiao vs Marquez Saga  

Seems like a number of boxing experts, aficionados and more importantly , the kibitzers,are not convinced of the Pacman's win over Marquez by majority decision in their third match !  

Others claim Marquez got the better of the seemingly confused Pacquiao this time around with his excellent straights and quick uppercuts . Of course , there are those who say Marquez just wasn't a clean fighter and resorted to dirty boxing tricks like stomping on Pacquiao's feet on many instances... 




The latest buzz is that there will be a Pacquaio vs Marquez 4! 

Yes , fourth match may be forthcoming to settle once and for all who is the better fighter. And if the fourth match does not give us a very convincing and clear winner, then there probably will be a Pacquiao vs Marquez 5!

And if the result after the fifth match does not suit what experts and kibitzers want , then there probably a Pacquiao vs Marquez 6!

And so on...and so forth. 

Even a Pacquiao vs Marquez 50 is a genuine possibility...until everybody is satisfied with the outcome! 

Pacquiao vs Marquez 50? Imagine ....Now that will be real cool....

It's the Pacman via the full route by majority decision !



A hairline victory! That is perhaps how best to describe the Pacman's win.

Manny Pacquiao survived  twelve rounds of Juan Manuel Marquez' fast and efficient counter-punching fight strategy to win the third of their celebrated trilogy by majority decision! The judges at ringside scored the relatively close fight at 114-114, 116-112 and 115-113 with  Pacquiao getting an impressive final round to gain two of the three judges' approval!

According to boxing bible , The Ring , "Neither fighter went down or was hurt, although Pacquiao suffered a cut above his right eye as a result of a collision of heads in the 10th round."

Pacquiao certainly took the initiative for most of the fight saying,“ I have to accept the fact that my opponent is not easy; he’s a good fighter,” he said. “I did my best. And I clearly won the fight.” . 

On the other hand , a visibly disappointed Marquez  claimed, "This was the second robbery and this one was the worst . We won with clearer punches."


For his 15th straight win ,  Pacquiao earned a minimum of $22 million while improving his record to 54-3-2. Marquez, who earned $5 million, fell to 52-6-1.

Today's Sports Highlights !

Today's Sports Highlights !Today, February 20 , 2011, is a Sunday and is supposedly a rest day ! But  it is also a very exciting day for sports and fans for two reasons :

First , LA Clippers and hometown favorite Blake Griffin's electrifying winning dunk at this year's  NBA  Sprite Slam Dunk Contest  ! Surely , nobody can ever forget his dangerous dunk over a Kia Optima off an alley oop pass from teammate Baron Davies to beat  Wizards center JaVale McGee via online  votes from fans ! I saw Griffin's  winning dunk live on cable and even saw the subsequent replays of the dunk . My , my that dunk will even surpass Dwight Howard's  winning slam dunk  as Superman in the same slam dunk contest years back!





Second,  Nonito Donaire's sensational 2nd Round TKO of  Fernando Montiel for the WBC & WBO Bantamweight Championships! This , too , was a highlight win with that lightning fast left hook and a right follow up to the cheek of the defending champion Montiel , supposedly the conqueror of a number of Filipino contenders. The two hits were so vicious and unforgiving that Montiel's legs even twitched while he was flat on his back on the canvass! As quickly as Montiel had to get up to beat the count, Donaire was quicker to deliver the jarring blows to the head enough for the ref to call it a night! 

So is this the start of much bigger things to come for the Flash who has long been boxing in the shadow of the Pacman?




I  thank God  that today is a Sunday ! We had the chance to see all these exciting sports highlights!
