WBO Welterweight Championship Fight News
On the 12th of November 2011 Manny Pacquiao will finally meet Juan Manual Marquez in the ring of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The fight has been much anticipated and has been covered in much of the media in the build up to the fight.
Those in Pacquiao’s camp have stated that Manny is training harder than ever as he wants to “kill” Marquez. This is the third time the two welterweights will meet in the ring, the first time resulting in a draw and the second time resulting in a victory but on a decision that was very questionable. This time, according to Pacquiao, there will be no doubt over who the real winner will be. Pacquiao has set his mind on defeating Marquez in a knock out this time.
The bookies seem to agree with Pacquiao, having set the odds at 8 to 1. However, everybody does agree that it will, by no means, be an easy match, as Marquez has very precise punches and has also been training very hard over the past few months. He claims that the decision in the second match they fought was faulty and that he should have been declared the winner, and intends to set this record straight himself.
With two men so desperate to win and so sure that they are the stronger man, this match is set to be one that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Will Pacquiao be able to deliver that knockout punch? Or has Marquez trained so hard that he has perfected his punches, delivering not only his famous accuracy and speed, but also the required force behind it to take out Pacquiao? Or will it be another draw, leaving boxing fanatics waiting for yet another rematch? Watch Pacquiao vs Marquez live stream and see the outcome!
