Juan Manuel Marquez has been longing for rematch with Manny Pacquiao since their draw in 2004 and on Saturday he gets his chance at personal and Mexican revenge. Pacquiao has dismantled Mexican icons Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales amongst others and Marquez wants to show Pacquiao that a Mexican can take it to the Filipino. BodogLife.com has Manny Pacquiao as a -200 boxing betting favorite in Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez II.

Juan Manuel is regarded as the #3 pound-4-pound fighter in the world despite is relative lack of popularity in the US. Marquez is an expert boxer that combines aggressive bodypunching with precise counterpunching that makes for a beautiful boxer\puncher style. At 34-years old Marquez owns some of the fastest hands in boxing and his right hand has venom in it. BodogLife.com has the OVER\UNDER at 11.5 rounds with the OVER at -175 for Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez II.

Marquez has good defense with excellent head movement, but he can be tagged, cut and stunned by top punchers. Marquez has also shown that he has problems with smooth boxers that avoid trading with him. The 5’7” Mexican is no longer in his physical prime, and probably has slipped ever so slightly but he always remains in tremendous condition and is entering this fight with lots of determination.
