Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez – December 8, 2012

Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have met in the ring time and time again. On December 8, the two fighters will meet one more time in an apparent effort to determine who the better boxing champion is.

The first three Pacquiao-Marquez fights were memorable. The initial meeting in 2004 ended in a draw. Take two saw Pacquiao emerge with a split-decision win, aided by a third-round knockdown. Pacquiao-Marquez III was supposed to be the “deciding” bout, but – despite Pacquiao winning on two of the three scorecards – the third part in the trilogy ended being anything but decisive.

Each fight was close enough that many boxing fans and experts can reasonably argue the outcomes. Some believe Marquez should have emerged victorious in all three. Pacquiao wants to prove the critics wrong. Marquez wants to get his win.

For boxing fans and the fighters, a knockout for either boxer would be a great way to end this historic rivalry between the two future Hall of Fame boxers.

Freddie Roach, Trainer of Manny Pacquiao talks about the Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV

“Pacquiao knows there is a lot of lingering discontent over his three fights, two wins, and a draw against Marquez. He also knows that in the eyes of many, he lost one, two, or even all three of those fights,” said Roach. That’s why Freddie Roach says he has no intention of letting his fighter, take this fight to the scorecards. It’s an outcome; he doesn’t think his guy can win.

“But I need to get Manny to get that killer instinct back,” Roach told the World Liberty TV Boxing Channel.

Interview with the Oldest Boxer in History to win a Title, Bernard Hopkins – New York, 2012

Bernard Hopkins Jr., known as The Executioner (born January 15, 1965) is an American boxer. Hopkins is most widely known for his career in the middleweight class, where he held at least a piece of the championship in that class from 1994 until 2005. Having held the International Boxing Federation’s middleweight title first, he unified the titles of all three of boxing’s major sanctioning bodies in 2001 by winning the World Boxing Association and World Boxing Council titles.

In 2004 Hopkins, having added The Ring middleweight championship to his resume as well, became the first middleweight to have held all four of what are considered the major belts when he won the World Boxing Organization’s championship from Oscar De La Hoya.

Having defended a world middleweight title a record 20 times before losing the title in 2005, he is considered one of the greatest middleweight champions of all time. The Ring ranked him #3 on their list of the “10 Best Middleweight Title Holders of the Last 50 years.”

In addition to being an active boxer, Hopkins is also a minority partner with Golden Boy Promotions.
