Pacquiao vs. Marquez: Unfinished Business

The much awaited fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez will happen this coming March 15, 2008 at Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino Las Vegas, NV, USA. The first time they met on the ring, the result of the fight was a draw. Marquez had been down 3 times in the first round but he tried to recover and give Manny a hard fight till the end of the 12th round. Heading on to this fight, Manny’s advantage is being young, also his speed and power, while Marquez is good in counter punch and really a smart boxer. For me, this will certainly be a great fight. In terms of training, I heard that Marquez started training by December last year which means he is much prepared than Pacquiao. However, Manny is different as compared to the first time they met on the ring. I should know it because I watched every fight he had dealt with and I saw a lot of development in his boxing style. I’ll bet for Manny Pacquiao. Not because he is a Filipino like me but simply because I believe in his own power. I just want him to face Edwin Valero in his next fight to prove to the world that he is truly the best in his current division just before he went up for the next division level.

When I visit www.mannypacquiao.ph I noticed that one of his articles entitled “With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility” is certainly an awesome piece. He sounds like Spiderman. A famous superhero ready to face all the challenges rested upon him. I also observed that now, he has that sense of humor. Maybe that’s what happened especially now that he is a local actor. In all of these, I do hope that Manny Pacquiao will win the fight against Marquez so that he will make the Filipino communities anywhere in the world, proud and happy. Go Manny Pacquiao! Show them the real strength of a Filipino warrior! We are proud of you!
