In
their first encounter, Pacquiao felled Marquez three
times in the first round only to allow the Mexican to
recover and forge a controversial draw. Now, the Filipino
ring icon is bent on finishing him off and stands to
become the first Asian boxer to win titles in three
different weight categories.
Dubbed
"Republica Enemy No. 1," Pacquiao (45-3-2,
34 KOs), has blitzed through the best fighters Mexico
has had to offer since 2003 including Erik Morales,
Marco Antonio Barrera, Oscar Larios, Emanuel Lucero,
Hector Velazquez, and Jorge Solis. The only blemish
on this impressive resume was the draw against Marquez.
|
Pacquiao
was named 2006 Fighter of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association
of America (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.
Marquez
(48-3-1, 35 KOs), from Mexico City, captured his first world
title in 2003, stopping former world champion Manuel Medina
in the 7th 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 Rocky
Juarez.

near identical records and professional achievements, it is

settle face-to-face with Marquez in a heavy pound battle the
