Your attention boxing fans

[Van Basten II]

Anybody will be watching this big fight, tell us how you're going to watch it, home with friends, at the bar etc.

Any predictions ?

I'll take the plunge think that Pacquiao will win it , Marquez has changed his style for a more offensive oriented one, he punches more but hit a lot more also which i fear is because he may have been slipping a little. He may prove me wrong but i don't think it will work against Pac Man. Pacquiao on the other hand seems to have improved his boxing skills and has showed more patience and versatility against Barrera that he was lacking in his first fight against Marquez.

For those who did not see the 1st fight, Pacquiao almost stopped Marquez in the 1st round knocking him down three times. Marquez managed to survive and as the fight progressed he used his superlative boxing skills to neutralize Pacquiao's buzzsaw approach. The fight went to the cards and the 3 judges agreed to disagree as one had it for Marquez, one for Pacquiao and the last one a draw. 4 years later, thanks to dumb boxing politics, they finally meet for the rematch.

This PPV, right? Then I'm not watching it, as I certainly am not paying $50 and no one else I really know well gives a crap about the sport. Sad, really.

I'll bet on Marquez, just because he seems to hit harder.

Nah, I'm going to the dog fights tonight.

Pacquiao is by the way the harder hitter, anyway boxing has unfortunately gone completely the PPV way and is extinct from network tv. Only HBO and Showtime carry important boxing card nowadays.

One way to reduce the costs is to go to a sports bar where they will make you pay for an entrance fee, in my place it's five bucks plus drinks and food.

Those who elected to find a way to watch it saw a beautiful and exciting fight.
