Pacquiao Vs Marquez II

Manny Pacquiao vs Juan Manuel Marquez
Mandalay Bay Events Center
Las Vegas, NV Saturday March 15, 2008 - 3:00 PM

Pacquiao vs Marquez II is scheduled to take place on March 15, 2008 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao will once again fight Juan Manuel Marquez four years after their historic fight in which Pacquiao knocked Marquez down three times in the first round only to have Juan Manuel Marquez come back and end up with a split draw.

It was a fight where it appeared to be over in the first round. Juan Manuel Marquez was knocked down three times in the first round and appeared to be on his way to getting knocked out by Manny Pacquiao. Marquez showed his will to win by never giving up and staging a miracle comeback down the stretch. The fight ended in a very controversial draw that allowed Marquez to keep his WBA and IBF 126 pound titles.

Having nearly identical records and professional achievements, it is no surprise that their first encounter for the featherweight title ended in a majority draw.

Marquez (48-3-1, 35 KOs), from Mexico City, Mexico, captured his first world title in 2003, stopping former world champion Manuel Medina in the seventh round to capture the vacant IBF featherweight title. He unified the title by dethroning WBA champion Derrick Gainer to set the stage for his first mega-fight against Pacquiao. Following his majority draw against Pacquiao, Marquez successfully defended both title belts, winning decisions over Victor Polo and Orlando Salido, before traveling to Indonesia to face Chris John, where he lost a controversial decision. Marquez successfully advanced into the super featherweight division last year by dethroning WBC champion Barrera in March and successfully defending that title in November against Ricardo Rocky Juarez.

Pacquiao (45-3-2, 34 KOs), from General Santos City, Philippines, has blitzed through the best fighters Mexico has had to offer since 2003 including Erik Morales (KO 3, TKO 10), Barrera (TKO 11, W 12), Oscar Larios (W 12), Emanuel Lucero (TKO 3), Hector Velazquez (TKO 6) and Jorge Solis (KO 8). The only "blemish" on this impressive resume was the draw against Marquez. Pacquiao, was named 2006 Fighter of the Year by the BWAA and The Ring Magaine for his two spectacular knockout victories of Mexican icon and three-division champion Morales, as well as his dominating 12-round unanimous decision over former world champion Larios.

The hard-hitting southpaw has won 21 of his last 22 bouts including 2007 victories over Barrera and Solis.

If you're like many people you may not have realized the correct spelling of Manny Pacquiao's name. Some of the common misspellings include: Manny Pacquaio, Manny Pacquio, Manny Pacqiao, Manny Paquio, Manny Pacquia, Manny Pacqiuao and Manny Pac.
