Pacquiao didn’t look like a [...]

By Babatis Banda: Looking at a number of Manny Pacquiao’s fights, you will realize that Bob Arum and Freddie Roach did a good job in building Manny’s name.

McKenna (McJack): World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38 KO’s) successfully defended his title Saturday night against WBO/WBA lightweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez (54-6-1, 39 KO’s).

By Dan Ambrose: Juan Manuel Marquez made Manny Pacquiao look bad tonight in beating him every which way a fighter can beat someone.

By William Mackay: IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan worked the Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao fight as a commentator for Primetime PPV, and Khan shockingly saw Marquez as the winner in this fight, picking him as the victor over Khan’s good friend Pacquiao. That kind of tells you something when you’ve got Khan [...]

By Dave Lahr: Freddie Roach is still yakking about the t-shirt Juan Manuel Marquez chose to wore when he visited the Philippines not too long ago.

By Reni M. Valenzuela: Predictions generate a buzz of varied reflections. But where are they not so important? Predictions are probabilities that can’t go beyond the conceivable.
