Upcoming boxing predictions, Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Juan Manuel Marquez
Floyd Mayweather Jr. officially announced in the same day of the bout of “The Battle of East and West” that he will be returning to the ring. Floyd Mayweather Jr. the son of Ricky Hatton’s coach, Floyd Mayweather Sr., will be fighting Juan Manuel Marquez as his return debut to the ring will be on July 18, 2009. Floyd Mayweather Jr. was a pound for pound superstar and his old nemesis Juan Manuel Marquez (who was defeated also by Manny Pacquiao) will be tough fight. Juan Manuel Marquez is eager for revenge after his upset fight with Manny Pacquiao over split decision. And Manny Pacquiao turned down Juan Manuel Marquez for the rematch with $6 million guranteed for the fight. Richard Schaefer, of the Golden Boy Promotions CEO who had made this offer. Bob Arum said that it should lay low for awhile, but for Pacquiao’s part said that the business is over because he plans to move up to the lightweight division.
It was very controversial fight even for some Filipino boxing analyts saying Marquez should be the winner.
Now both boxers have tremendous grunge and both wants revenge. Floyd Mayweather Jr. for saving his father’s chit-chatter-box, trash-talking mouth and Juan Manual Marquez for his controversial loss with Manny Pacquiao.
I’d say, 60-40 for this one. 60 for Marquez and 40 for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to loss the fight. Why? Because sometimes clean record of no loss doesn’t mean you are vulnerable in lossing. Just like what happened with Ricky “Hitman” Hatton. Manny Pacquiao already have 3 losses and never kissed the canvass ever since. With pure determination and geniune work etiquette, he is where he is now. Now, Juan Manual Marquez grunge is much bigger than Floyd Mayweather Jr. and that is where I based my odds in.
But, like what Manny Pacquiao said during their weight-in with Ricky Hatton. Only God knows who will win the fight.
