Anyone check out the weigh-in for the upcoming fourth fight between Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao? Marquez has been looking in great shape ever since hooking up with his new strength and conditioning coach. The thing is, he looked bigger and more muscular than Manny, but he weighed far less. Marquez came in at 143 lbs. Pacquiao came in at 147 lbs. So Manny is heavier. Will this effect the fight? I don't know, it might. It will be interesting to see if Marquez picked up some speed as well as strength. I believe their last fight was at 144 lbs or something and Manny was used to fighting at 147. He may have had a little bit of a strength drain in that one.
I also worry about Pacquiao's killer instinct. It wasn't there with Bradley. I felt as though he let him slide a bit and ended up paying the price. While this is no Floyd Mayweather vs. Pacquiao super fight, its still going to be an exciting one. Can't wait to see what happens.
