I think there was nothing wrong with the way Pacquiao fought Marquez. Noted nga maayo mga counter-puncher si Marquez and na experience na ni pacman sa ilang previous fights. Wala kaayu ni attack si pacman tungod ana nga reason. Iya gi huwat or gi lure si Marquez to throw the first punch. On the other hand, Marquez' camp knows that if sila ang mag cge ug sulod, piti sad sila like the previous fights nga na tikangkang ilang fighter. Thus the many hata2x moves all throughout the fight by both fighters. Fit ang ila styles for each other. Bisan pa pila pa ka rematches ang buhaton ni Bob Arum, the same result will come out. It will always be a close fight to call.
I agree with Kevin Iole in his artice in Yahoo and his comparison of the present superstars, Pacman, Marquez and Mayweather with Smokin' Joe Frazier, Ali and Foreman.
“Joe Frazier would, God rest his soul, be neck and neck with Ali and give him some tough, tough fights, but if you put him in with George Foreman, he didn’t stand a chance,” Arum said. “Foreman KO’d him twice. But with Foreman and Ali, Ali ended up knocking him out. Styles make fights, and a lot of you writers don’t understand that.
“The trainers do. The matchmakers do. But just because A beats B and B beats C, it doesn’t mean necessarily that A will beat C.” -Kevin Iole
Yes, both Gayweather and Marquez are both superb counter-punchers but Gayweather isn't Marquez and vice-versa. Marquez knows pacman better having fought him for 2 times prior to the recent fight. Gayweather hasn't. Marquez' camp has studied pacman's moves on a first hand experience with the champ while gayweather has only seen how pacman fights sitting his black ass on the couch. With that said, i believe that the recent fight doesn't give an assurance that Gayweather would dominate our Pacman.
Just my two cents.
