by 5th and 6th round, that's when the "manny show" hit stride.. combos, combos, combos..

*hits

For casual boxing fans. Don't get this card. Buy the card on Dec 4th with Cotto and Margarito. Much better card that will be far more entertaining.

sure, but you don't know what Manny's going to bring? Even him destroying someone 12 rounds is worth the pay day..

I really don't have a doubt that these two will give a great effort but the card isn't great. I am getting it of course. Got to with Mike Alvarado on the card but the Bradley fight stinks and I bet my life ends in a cut from a head butt and I can't even remember the 4th fight.

I just don't want people complaining about boxing because they spent money on the card when anyone with any sort of feel for the sport knows that Cotto vs Margarito isn't just a great fight but a great card top to bottom. If the Manny fight sold 500K and Cotto did 1.5 million than maybe Arum would get a clue and give us better cards.

Oh and Marquez makes it the distance.

Have watched the first two fights?

how many years and pounds ago was that?

Styles make fights. In Marquez's last fight he came in on fight night at 143. That isn't too far off what Pac does.

Sup Bucky! Yeah I saw both fights and in the second Manny looked better than the first and the Manny we see now-a-days is a far more dangerous fighter and he comes forward a lot more than he did back then. I think its an easy pick for Manny which saddens me.....Quit being a baby Floyd and give the fans the fight we crave!!!

I thought Marquez won both fights. I do expect Pac to win tomorrow but I still think this will be a struggle. There is a reason Team Pac made Marquez sign a rematch clause, they are a little worried themselves about this fight.

For the card I will take Luis Cruz to beat Juan Carlos Burgos in a fight that could go either way. Good ole Mexico vs Puerto Rico in this one. Cruz, the Puerto Rican, is a little bigger and more polished IMO. If he can take the pressure from Burgos he should win the fight. Think this one goes the distance but should give us great back and forth.

Mike "Mile High" Alvarado will make Denver proud with a spectacular knockout of the Khan Conqueror Breidis Prescott. This might end up being the fight of the night. Both guys are action fighters who carry a lot of power. Alvarado is more polished and displays more movement than boxing insiders give him credit for. He is ready to have a breakthrough performance. An interview for you pleasure http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/alvarado-it%E2%80%99s-my-time-101524#more- 101524.

Bradley vs Casamayor will end in cuts caused by an accidental headbutt. This fight will stink so get your visiting and bathroom breaks in on this one. If the cut happens before the end of the 4th it will be a no contest otherwise Bradley will get the decision [winning or not as he is inline for Pac if the Floyd fight falls through]. Bradley shouldn't have much trouble as Casa hasn't fought well since losing to Marquez in '07. It appears Casa is having trouble making weight, bad sign considering he moved up and is really a lightweight.

Pac on another close decision. This time it won't be a robbery but Marquez won't quit on this fight. This is his white whale and I can't see him not giving it his all. Both fighters have top notch trainers and though Bernstein might not be as common a name as Roach he really is every bit as good, possibly better.

I wish Jose Benavidez was on the TV card as well. Maybe Top Ranks website will have his fight. Remember that name, will be the next big name in boxing. At age 19 he is just mowing through the compeition as most us expected when he turned pro at age 17 [rarely can you get licensed at this age].

Kid fought 10 times in 2010. Not as much this year as he suffered an injury but he will be world champ at 140 in two years.

Arum is an ****. He should be looking at what they are doing the UFC and incorporate in his promotions.

If you have Showtime turn it on. Austin Trout and Michael Oliveira should be give us a great show. Trout could be a very good future fighter.

Dude, Bucky, i'm not going to sh8t talk the Cotto vs Margarito fight, I've been wanting to see that one as well. Polak get his hemitobin on.. lets see it..

I can't believe Roy Jones Jr. is fighting in ATL.. hahaha was thinking of getting tickets, then, "nah".. hahah
