The much awaited fight between Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez will be November 12, 2011 at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, a mere 24-hours away. The two fighters already faced off during their weigh ins last Friday. Marquez weighed in at 142 pounds while Pacquiao is a pound more at 143 pounds.
The millions of boxing followers especially the coven of fans of Manny Pacquiao will definitely be tuning in. I, myself, not a boxing fanatic is unusually excited for tomorrow. I know Manny Pacquiao can take him down but I'm open to the idea that maybe Marquez trained more than well and maybe, just maybe he had the stamina to knock out the Great Pacman. If that ever happens, that would indeed be interesting.
This is the third time these two boxing giants face each other in the boxing ring. The last two encounters was on 2004 where the fight was a draw and 2008 where Manny Pacquiao was declared as winner in a split decision. Marquez claims he won both fights and at tomorrows fight, he is in it to claim his "rightful" crown but will the fast and monstrous boxing champ, Manny Pacquiao let him do that? Manny, on the other hand, is fighting to erase any doubts that indeed, he is the true winner. Each one is out to prove a point. The question is, whose point is going to be proven right tomorrow?
We will have to wait and see.
But for me, the real question really is, "What round, Manny?" Some predict it at around round six or seven. Whether that will be true....
We will have to wait and see. Go Manny!
