Boxing Analysts Differ if Pacquiao Continues to Fight

Pacquiao vs Marquez pentalogy will happen late next year because Promoter Bob Arum,the oil snake merchant, believes that savagery in that fateful December 9, 2012 (Marquez got a broken nose that oozed with lots of blood and Pacquiao fell with his face flat to dreamland) will make hundred of thousands of people to shell out again their $50 or $60 (P2,400) for a Pay Per View connection on their cable TV. Jesus Christ, that's another billions of pesos or millions of dollars in the making. And it seems Manny relishes the glitters of the money at the same time he want to vindicate his devastating loss (Text by Mortz Ortigoza).

Boxing analysts nagdebate kung dapat ba ang Part 5 na Pacquiao-Marquez fight

 By Bombo Radyo -Philippines

 Hindi magkamayaw ang mga local boxing analysts sa pag-analisa sa laban ni Manny Pacquiao lalo na kung dapat bang mangyari ang ika-limang laban kay Juan Manual Marquez.

 Ayon sa kilalang boxing expert na si Atty. Ed Tolentino, para sa kanya ay dapat na mag-retire na si Manny. Pero kung hindi maiiwasan, ang ika-limang laban kay Marquez ayon kay Tolentino ay dapat na magsagawa muna ng tune-up fight si Pacman para bumalik ang kumpiyansa.
 Ang dapat harapin muna ni Pacman ay hindi kasinggaling ng Mexican warrior.
 Para naman kay Pacquiao handa siya sa ikalimang laban pero depende pa rin sa kanyang promoter. Inihayag naman ng sportswriter at analyst na si Ronnie Natanielsz, dapat bigyan ng daan si Manny na magdesisyon kung magreritiro ba. Kawawa rin umano siya Pacman kung hindi maibabangon ang kanyang sarili.
 Para naman sa sportswriter na si Edwin Espejo, sinabi nito na ilang beses na ring bumangon sa knockout noon si Pacman. Pero sa ngayon hindi na bata si Pacman.

 Sinabi ni Mortz Ortigosa kilalang boxing analyst sa Pangasinan, bagamat tumatanda na si Pacman mag-aakyat pa ito ng maraming pera sa boxing industry at kumikita pa ang mga laban nito.

 Tinawag naman ng dating gobernador at boxing manager na si Manny Piñol na isang "suicide" kung lalabanan pa uli ni Pacquiao si Marquez. Binatikos ni Piñol ang nagsasabing ang tumama kay Pacman ay isang lucky punch mula kay Marquez.
 Giit ni Piñol na isa ring boxing, sa boksing umano ay walang lucky punch dahil pinapakawalan ito na may target.
 Ito rin ang pananaw ni Natanielsz at Recah Trinidad. Ani Piñol, kung ang isa umano ay makaiwas sa suntok, matatawag na swerte ang boksingero.
 Ayon pa kay Piñol kung tamaan ang isang boksingero ng suntok, simple lamang ito, mabagal siyang umaksiyon sa atake ng kalaban. Labis namang ikinalulungkot ni dating Bacolod Rep. Monico Puentevella ang masaklap na pagkatalo ni Pacquiao. Ayon sa sportsman, nangyari na ang kinakatakutan ng Pilipinas na darating ang panahon na mananamlay ang boxing career ng Pinoy ring icon.
 Kaugnay nito, pinayuhan ni Puentevella ang malapit niyang kumapare na pag-isipan na ang pag-retire sa boxing at maawa ito sa kaniyang katawan.
 Aniya, kung gusto pa ni Manny ng rematch ay ito na lang ang pinakahuli na at huwag ng pag-isipan pa ang laban kay Floyd Mayweather Jr.
 Naniniwala naman ang ilang observers, na mismong si Marqez ay baka hindi rin na pumayag sa laban pa na Part 5 kay Pacquiao dahil nakuha na niya ang gusto niya sa isang paraan na hindi na maaaring makuwestyon pa.

Pacquiao vs. Marquez 4: Analysis

BANE FOR PACMAN: In the illustration above Marquez (black trunk) waits for the right jab of Manny before he (Marquez) lunches his counter left punch  (or a rattling combination of right and left punches) before he turned clockwise to frustrate Manny to hit him with his lethal left straight punch.

By MORTZ C. ORTIGOZA 

 I told Philippine GMA-7 TV before the quadrilogy of Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao that Marquez got the numbers of Pacquiao. Every time Manny lunches his right jabs, he unleashes his (Marquez) power right cross, left uppercut and right cross to the face of Manny while he runs clockwise. As a consequence, Manny could not hit him with his big left straight because the Mexican, like the Coyote in Lonney Tunes, has been running beyond his range. This phenomenon has been almost the same strategy Marquez has done from his three controversial outings with the Filipino congressman. Marquez has been waiting for Manny to unleash a punch where, just like a boomerang, he immediately counter it with a 1-2 combination or even a 1-2-3 flurry. In their trilogy however, Marquez innovated by hitting Manny first with his right or left. But it was his strategy to goad Manny to hit him where he could counter-punch Pacquaio with his trademarked combination. Manny in their rubber match shilly-shally every time he punches Marquez. He could afford only a right and left combination and withdraw to avoid the rattling counter punches of the Mexican. As a result that trilogy was a bore among ordinary fight fans that used to see the explosiveness of Manny when he fought Eric Morales, Oscar dela Hoya, Miguel Cotto, Antonio Margarito who stood in front of him and did not abscond like Marquez every time he wants to exchange blows.
 *** 
The camp of Manny assured the fans that the fight on Sunday (Saturday in the U.S) would be exciting because Manny would summon his fearsome power punches by pressing the fight to Marquez. But how could Manny brings the fight with Marquez when he got tag by the counter punches of the Mexican every time he hit Marquez? They said he would slip by docking the counter punches of Juan while he delivers his bombs to the latter. Incase this would be their fight plan, they could borrow how Floyd Mayweather Jr. penetrated the ring of fire from Marquez. In that bout Floyd bobbled, weaved, covered his face with his gloves, or jumped in and out from the counter punches of the Mexican. Since I was writing this article a day before the fight, let's cross our finger if Manny could weather the counter punches of Marquez who would expectedly increase the volume of his power punches to grab the victory in this fourth fight.
