THEIR FIGHT HISTORY:

Pacquiao vs. Marquez I 

- The fight took place at the MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas, on May 8, 2004.

The final scores were 115–110 for Márquez, 115–110 for Pacquiao and 113–113. One of the judges (who scored the bout 113–113) later admitted to making an error on the scorecards, having scored the first round as 10–7 in favor of Pacquiao instead of the standard 10–6 for a three-knockdown round. If he had scored the round 10–6 for Pacquiao (as the other two judges did), the result would have been a split decision in favor of Pacquiao.

Marquez vs. Pacquiao II 

-The fight was held at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, On March 15, 2008.

A rematch against Juan Manuel Márquez, called "Unfinished Business," Pacquiao won via split decision.

Throughout the fight, Márquez landed the most punches at a higher percentage; however, the decisive factor proved to be a third-round knockdown, wherein Márquez was floored by a Pacquiao left hook. At the end of the fight, the judges' scores were 115–112 for Pacquiao, 115–112 for Márquez and 114–113 for Pacquiao.

it's a big ? Q who will win the fight?

THEIR KEYS:

Keys for Pac-Man

Pacquiao has technically won twice in this series, with the other fight being a draw. However, because he has failed to change his strategy to adjust against his opponent, neither of his victories were by a definitive margin.

Pac-Man must be choosy in this fight. He has to know when he has an opportunity to attack and when he doesn't. Because his stamina isn't what it used to be, he can't afford to waste energy in this bout, or else Marquez will battle back in the later rounds like he normally does.

Pacquiao must also use his speed to his advantage. He has to utilize his left and right crosses against a slower Marquez, as he likely won't win this fight by attacking a strong Marquez with brute force.

Keys for Dinamita

Marquez simply needs to make this fight go the distance. He has much better stamina than Pacquiao, even if his speed isn't quite up to par.

The biggest key for Marquez is to make use of his counter punches. He has a fantastic counter, and if Pacquiao leaves himself open, Dinamita must capitalize.

One of the smaller strengths Marquez now has against Pac-Man compared to other fighters is that he is used to Pacquiao's southpaw stance. Some fighters aren't used to this, and it can cost them, but Marquez has now seen it three times and is familiar enough with Pacquiao to know how to win this fight.
