The 3rd face off has to happen thus will end the futile debate as to who really is better… Pacquiao or Marquez?

“Fear me!” – said by the WBO/WBA lightweight  champion Juan Miguel Marquez. The Mexican is truly aware that he’s strong. Pacquiao even admitted that Marquez is his hardest opponent. With that in mind, Manny is set and ready for a 10 weeks training instead of the regular 8 weeks training he did with his other fights. So he really has to put an effort huh?!

Marquez on the other hand, after their 2 controversial fights, became a lot more serious and determined to prove that he is rather, he should win and end this match. He’s gonna train hard too in preparation to their November  13 fight in Las Vegas, Nevada. There was a boxing analyst though that mentioned this is yet another mismatch  and another one said that Manny will not beat El Dinamita but wreck him.

The so called “El Dinamita” (Manuel Marquez) was here in the Philippines ( went to US today)and last Saturday was memorable for the two fighters. It was their Philippine face off, to start their Pacquiao vs. Marquez 3 promo tour. A report confirmed about 200,000 people attended the said event. After the event, that’s where Manny Many Prizes was held. Manny, who hosts the said TV show signed and awarded a huge 1M check to a lucky contestant winner. The very busy & generous Manny Pacquiao manages to balance sports, hosting, singing, and writing. He now writes a regular sports column for Abante and Philboxing.com. It is one way to reach out to his fans and share his experiences and tips as a boxer.

November is just few weeks away and like many of us, I am hopeful that Manny will put an end to this match with a win. By then, we can maybe say that the fight is truly worth the wait. I am equally hopeful to win a blackberry phone too from a Facebook contest so I can be updated with each punch these 2 great boxers throw each other. LoL!

For the second time around, Manny Pacman Pacquiao was named Fighter of the Year. Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Award or ESPY announced Pacquiao as fighter of the year and has beaten out Sergio Martinez, Bernard Hopkins and so as George St. Pierre.  He first won the award last 2009.  ESPN is the one behind ESPY.  This is of course another honor Pacquaio has brought to the country.

On the other hand, Manny Pacquiao is said to start his training in the upcoming fight with Juan Manuel Marquez. This will be their 3rd fight, actually.  Pacman said that there seems to be an unfinished business with his Mexican nemesis which excites him to set foot inside the ring and start rigid training. Their fight is scheduled on November 12.
