PACQUIAO VS. MARQUEZ III - TRUE WARRIORS!

 PACQUIAO VS. MARQUEZ III NOV. 12,2011
 I must say the journey these two great fighters have gone through have been spectacular. I have seen both fights in person MGM and the Mandalay bay and both occasion's, I had a wonderful time , despite the arguments and near physical confrontations with PROUD MEXICAN FANS... Because of my words and that of my Proud Filipino father we were escorted out of those venues. I would of went to this fight but because of health issues with my aging father we decided to sit this one out. 
 Now back to two of the best fighters around today. Marquez is a classic stand up Mexican counter puncher that throws great left hooks and straight hands , both punches that have landed and hurt Pacquiao in both fights. But problem is hurt and getting knocked down and nearly out is the issue. If Marquez had a tad bit more power in his punches and was a little more daring , it might as well be Marquez in the spot light during the past 7 years they two first met up. 
 Both fighters are true warriors, Marquez had fought many wars and never gives up, a true Mexican warrior, but the Names Barrera , Morales , hold the Mexican's heart than Marquez, why? Simple , he;s not a power puncher , he doesn't act macho , and has that warriors glare. In fact , he's a intelligent , hard working and dedicated father and he should get more Love from his Mexican fans. But he doesn't and maybe that's why he's sticking around longer than he should. We all know boxing has no heart, has no friends, its a game for the young and powerful , people with great intentions don't always become household names. Marquez is a respectable man and I admire his skills and determination and its too bad he feels he needs to continue fighting when it's clear he no longer has the skills to compete with the Worlds Best fighter. I know he feels robbed or deprived that in two fights , he may have out boxed Manny , but Manny punch him harder and actually knocked him down and nearly out in the second fight , 3rd round , luckily or not  it happened late in the round and he survived" Sure he went on to survive , and out box Manny at occasions , but the heavier and judge friendly punches landed. If anything Marquez made Manny look human , but that's not enough to dethrone a champion. Boxing is a cruel and truthful sport , it exposes things that no other sport does.. 
 Nov. 12, 2011 , The Final fight between two great champions will take place , and Marquez will be a formidable foe until he gets knocked out for good. Marquez has a big chip on his shoulder he feels his career his legacy depends on this fight. He knows another boxing match and close fight win not win this fight. Manny is a Icon, a Champion , a Media Darling , he cant do wrong. Marquez wants the knock out and he will try to achieve that , his thinking I'm heavier , stronger and smarter than those years I fought him., But guess what Manny is also stronger , faster , smarter and younger than the aging Marquez. In addition Marquez is dominating as a featherweight or lightweight , not as a Jr weleterweight or welterweight in which they will step into the ring. His lone appearance above 135 lbs he was run over and nearly knocked out by Floyd Mayweather in 2009, and two years later and 10 lbs heavier and at 38 years of age , and against inferior opponents Ramos, Katsisdis, Diaz, he hasnt looked spectacular and none of these opponents are at the same level of talent , skill , power , or mental strength of Manny's past opponent's, at 147 - Manny has knocked out Delohoya - made him quit , hatton 2nd rd knockout nearly killed him ,Cotto- late rd ko,  Clottey - the human punching bag.. margarito  rearranged and destroyed his face and future career, and Mosely ,knock down a fighter than has never tasted the canvas ever !  
 Boxing plays no favorites and often times reveals the truth about life, nothing is guaranteed or happy endings don't always happen in boxing. Marquez feels he has been victimized and haunted by Pacquiaos stardom and success. because of that thinking and that demon that taunts marquez, he will challenge Pacquiao and go toe to toe , he has a emotional makeup that is truly Mexican , A Mexicans pride and honor that rides higher than any of those fighters I just mentioned. Marquez , even i he's getting punched hard and often and is a bloody mess and his head hurts and his vision is bad , he's gonna go out like a true Mexican warrior. He will not surrender like Dela hoya did against Pacquiao or his corner will not thrown the towel in like Cotto's corner did. Instead , a prideful , but old , worn out warrior will slug it out and because of the age difference- years older , because of weight issues , 12 pounds heavier than he's used to fighting at, and because of all the wars he has partaking in , and the lack of skillful fighters he has fought since the second fight with Pacquiao , all these issues and concerns will be exposed and the final chapter will read, A great fight until the knockout. Like I said Marquez doesn't have the stamina or desire to go another 12 rounds , and lose a decision, he will rise above what his normally does and try to land that big punch , but My gut feeling is you dontPacquiao, Marquez has a chance , but once the harder , faster and more accurate punches start landing , the older , slower , heavier fighter will no other choice to trade punches and hope one can change the outcome. I'm hyped , and I;m excited , but I wont be surprised when Manny's knockes out the Great Mexican Warrior in the third rd or 27th rd of their trilogy.. that's too many rounds to flirt with danger or a Tiger like Manny. But Like a true warrior , he's gonna lose this fight on his back m instead of go into survivor mode like many Pacman fighters have done. Marquez emotional make up and courage is I rather die , than quit and surrender , So be it, and what a treat The Boxing fans get to see , golpe a golpe - blow by blow in Spanish..
