MERGED: All About Pacquiao vs. Marquez III

[lestat1116]

The judges' score card:






Ani ni siya: Pacquiao's invincibility pierced - Yahoo! Eurosport

And this is the part that really got me:


So sa akong hunahuna mao ni ang nahitabo. 1 hour before sa fight misud si Arum sa room ni Manny ug miingon na "Manny, may I speak to you in private?"

Ug sa diha miingon sad si Manny na "Sure, Bob. Gawas sa mo tanan beh."

Sa higayon na sila nalang duha sa kwarto miingon si Arum kang Manny "Manny you need to win this fight but don't beat him too much. Make it seem like you had a difficult time, and you're getting hit big time, something like that. Give some rounds to Marquez."

Niining maong mga panultion daw na shock si Manny ug siya nagkanayon "Why Bob?? I wanna beat this guy, ya know?"

Apan si Arum miingon "Look, we all know you can beat this guy regardless. But we gotta think about the future. If Floyd sees that you didn't do too well today he's gonna be thinkin' 'Well, well, looks like this guy is slowing down I may actually beat him', and that's what we gotta do, Manny.... Then you can retire."

Ug pinaagi niining mga pulong ni Arum daw nakita ni Manny ang kahayag ug siya miingon "Hmmm ... That sounds good, Bob. So watta I gots to do?"

Ug daku ang kalipay ni Bob na niingon "Ok. Remember what I said -- don't beat him too much and give some rounds to him... maybe three or four, doesn't matter. Then, at the last rounds give some of your machine gun punches but stop if you see him getting tagged. Back-up at bit and then beat him up again. Important thing is don't knock em' down so your score don't jump up. Ok?"

"Ok." Ana si Manny.

"And don't mess up his face too much so Floyd'll think your punches are gettin' soft. A'ight?" pahinumdum pa ni Arum.

"Sher" nagkanayun si Manny.

"And last but most important -- don't celebrate. Act weak and distracted. This means when you walk in with your entourage don't jump around and smile, when the final bell rings don't put your hands up, and during your victory party don't celebrate too much. Make people wonder what's going on in Team Pacquiao. When all this leaks out in the internet Floyd's gonna read about it and it's gonna make him want to fight you. When that happens you can beat the sh!t out of him." ug human nipahiyum si Arum.

Ug sa dihang misiga ang mata ni Manny ug siya nagkanayon "Sounds good, Bob!"

"Good boy." sulti pa ni Arum dayon gawas sa kwarto.

Joke.

mao jud ako gi huna2x. his playing possum. mao pud comment sa usa ka boxer.

[tokidoki_v2.0]

haha... mao gyud bitaw ako gi huna huna. the only way to bring mayweather out in the open is to make him think manny is not invincible.

i even went to think that manny should have thrown the fight para sigurado gyud mopatol si gayweather niya.

Ni-lie-low ang buang... Tagam. Baba-on man gud kaayo.

BT: What's up Floyd?

FM: How's it going Ben?

BT: You know, I can't complain, at least not as much as Marquez can about losing another controversial decision to Pacquiao. I know you didn't get a chance to watch the fight.

FM: I didn't. I was at the club. I had a party in Virginia. I got some text messages and some emails about the fight last night though. I didn't watch the fight, but from what I'm hearing, Marquez got cheated. Win, lose or draw, whoever I fight still has to be tested with random blood and urine tests.

BT: From what you've heard, do you have any comment on Pacquiao's performance?

FM: I can't really say nothing about him because there's been a defamation of character case filed against me. In the past, I was able to criticize my opponents and talk trash in a playful manner, but I guess, you know, with me talking trash to Manny Pacquiao, I got a lawsuit. I mean, Ali's done it and a lot of the other top fighters have done it. Fighters, we do it back and forth to each other. I mean, the fight could've happened the way it happened because, you know, someone is slowly changing so they can prepare to fight me. They know they're going to have to take the random blood and the random urine tests.

BT: So you think there's a chance that they may actually want to fight you next?

FM: What I don't really understand is, I know Manny Pacquiao can't really speak much because he don't really understand English, but he may know a few words because he do live in the States from time to time, so...I personally think it's Bob Arum having a vendetta. I think he's very very upset with me because, you know, I exposed and I opened the world's eyes up to different things. I never officially came out and said that I believe Manny Pacquiao is on steroids or that I believe he's on enhancement drugs; I never came out and said that he actually is. I only stated my opinion on what I believe in.

BT: Well after the fight, Bob Arum was talking more about a 4th fight with Marquez than he was about a fight with you.

FM: Why? I mean, I truly feel that Marquez is never going to get the benefit of the doubt. I want to congrautlate Marquez and I want to congratulate Manny Pacquiao for doing it a third time, but I just feel like if you get it done right the first time, there's no need for a second or third fight, and if it is needed, do it again in the same fasion and in the same way, or do it even better. People fail to realize, when I faced Marquez, I was two years off just traveling and vacationing. I took two years off, no working out, no other activities. I went into training camp and then the fight had got pushed back because I had an injury, so that pushed it back a little bit more, but I still went out there and performed and looked marvelous. If I fight a guy and I don't knock him out, they say, "Well, Mayweather didn't knock him out." If I knock him out in the late rounds, they say, "Well, what took so long?" If I knock him out in the early rounds, they say, "Well, you can always catch a guy cold." Like I said before, I'm always in a no-win situation. If I fight a guy that's my age, they're going to say, "You know what? He's over the hill." When I fought Marquez, they said Marquez was over the hill. Remember, when I fought Marquez, I think he was 36 and I was 32. Now, two years later, Pacquiao is 32 and Marquez is 38.

BT: They also said Marquez was too small for you. I know you didn't get a chance to see it, but Saturday night, on HBO's unofficial scales, Pacquiao weighed in at 148 pounds while Marquez weighed in at 150 pounds. He was actually 2 pounds heavier than him.

FM: I mean, like I said before, I never accused Pacquiao of nothing, but I think I'm entitled to my own opinion. I just had an opinion. I didn't say, "I know you doing this" or "I know you doing that." I said some jokes in the past, had fun, doing it smiling, and we talked about it, but if I was or wasn't joking, it's just my opinion. I'm entitled to my own opinion. People have said things about me, and wrote and criticized me about things in the past, but it goes in one ear and out the other. A lot of times, I don't hear about it because, like I said before, I don't read it if it's negative. If it's positive, then they know to bring it to me.

BT: After the fight, Freddie Roach said that Marquez has given Pacquiao problems three times now and he has to do a better job of dealing with counter-punchers, but in the past, he's suggested that you would be an easy fight for them because they have you figured out. Do you think there's a reason why Roach would make such contradictory statements considering that most people say you're the best counter-puncher in the sport.

FM: I'm not going to say nothing about Freddie Roach. He's battling Parkinson's Disease, so I don't want to say nothing bad about him. If he says something about me, they're gonna be like, "Oh, Freddie Roach is chewing Floyd Mayweather out," but if I say something about him, they're gonna be like, "Why is he talking about a guy that has a disease." The only thing I can do is wish Freddie Roach nothing but the best with all of his fighters and I'm going to continue to do what I do. Freddie Roach has faced me before and he came up on the short end of the stick. Like I always say, a trainer can't get in there and fight for a fighter. I mean, it ain't no different for me. A trainer can train you, but you have to go out there and execute the game plan and that's something that I'm able to do.

I think usa ka dakong drama ang nahitabo. Parehas ug wrestling nga bunal diri bunal didto pero wala diay to ma sakiti. I think this fight was to draw out mayweather.

I need to rewatch again tomorrow if there is a difference. Im still downloading Top Rank version.

We score almost the same as Robert Hoyle. But he gave the 9th round to Marquez.

^^Did you see how many times Marquez stepped on Pacquiao's foot?.. Was it intentional?

I'll checkout the DVR later, i-try pud ko ni imung gibuhat..Hehe Nice idea..

I had no doubt Pacquiao won that.. But I don't blame the skeptics coz it was really a close fight.

Its not intentional. It happens always between orthodox & southpaw.
