A rematch for Pacquiao and Marquez?

Marquez (45-3-1, 34 KO) has often been mentioned on any list of the top 10 pound-for-pound fighters and he reaffirmed his place there only five months after losing to John when he stopped Terdrak Jandaeng in the seventh round to win the interim WBO title after legal and chemical problems derailed reigning champion Scott Harrison indefinitely. But for all his success, the 33-year-old Marquez has always felt he lacked the proper promotional push behind him from long-time handler Bob Arum to gain the recognition that would bring him what he craves - an opportunity to again test his skills against Manny Pacquiao or to face his fellow countryman, Marco Antonio Barrera.

And guess what, he's now challenging the man of his dreams. Day dreamer Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Marquez wants to fight again with Manny Pacquiao because he thought they still have a business to finish. He's joking right! Haven't you learned anything yet? Anyway I can't stop him though, all i can suggest is bring those soft pillows...
:mrgreen:

The Philippine southpaw sensation Pacquiao landed repeatedly in the first round with withering straight left hands to the chin. The hard hitting challenger floored Marquez three times in the opening stanza, busting him up in the process and breaking his nose while reducing the bottom one-third of his face to ground chuck. Nevertheless, Marquez rallied over the course of the fight to somehow come up with a majority draw. That's not even funny! Oh come on!

Judge Burt Clements scored the bout 113-113, while Guy Jutras had it 115-110 for Marquez, and John Stewart tallied 115-110 for Pacquiao.


That was a pathetic decision. Guy Jutras? Who is he anyway? Send him to a boxing school first before he can judge to any Pacquiao fight again.
