Juan Manuel Marquez Vs. Manny Pacquiao
Juan Manuel Marquez’s path to a rematch with Manny Pacquiao stretched from Indonesia to the side of a Mexican volcano, stopping at two-bit fights and disappointing decisions before winding back to Las Vegas.
Nearly four years later, Marquez still wouldn’t change a thing about his strange odyssey. After all, not many easy roads run out of the toughest barrios in Mexico City.
Marquez (48-3-1, 35 KOs) and Pacquiao (45-3-2, 34 KOs) fought to an acclaimed draw in May 2004, and two of boxing’s most gifted combatants are back together Saturday night at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in a match for Marquez’s WBC 130-pound title.
