Pacquiao vs Marquez III Predictions:

The general consensus says these fighters share a special grudge, but the reality is that it’s a profound mutual respect, and that figures to be reflected in the fight’s early going. It’s likely that the first rounds will disappoint those who expect a clash as explosive as the fighters; previous ones, but it’s logical that both will take their time evaluating the effects of the years that have passed, among other variables. Midway through the fight, Marquez will be the first one to up the ante, but Pacquiao will weather the storm and surge toward the finish to earn a points victory (or a late stoppage on cuts) in a bout that promises to be as entertaining, if perhaps not as explosive, as its two extraordinary predecessors.
