This past Saturday Juan Manuel Marquez ended his 4th fight with Manny Pacquiao in convincing fashion at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Pacaquiao at age 33 was put to sleep by Marquez who is 39 years old. The three previous bouts were slug fest with Pac Man winning 2 of 3 by controversial decisions and Marquez scored a draw in the other. Pacquiao and his trainer Freddie Roach leading up to this 4th bout wanted to prove critics wrong by knocking out Marquez. Instead Manny was the one caught sleeping literally. In boxing the story always goes : fighters get hurt by the punch that they don't see. Marquez indeed landed a hook that Pacquiao didn't see as the Filipino politician landed face first into the canvas. Many questions arouse after the fight. What will the drug test show for both fighters ? In this day and age of doping yon never know. Where does Manny go from here ? Will he fight again ? Will Pac Man and JMM fight for a 5th time ? Only the upcoming months during the new calender year produce answers to those questions.
