Pacquiao-Marquez part III all set in Las Vegas

 

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Manny Pacquiao acts as though it's personal, then claims it's not. Just another night in the ring, another notch on his belt and another $25 million or so to take back to the Philippines with him.

It's not that easy for Juan Manuel Marquez. He remains convinced he won both of his previous two fights with Pacquiao, and he will enter the ring Saturday night as eager for redemption as he is to claim the biggest payday of his long boxing career.

"I hope the judges score what they see, not like the other two fights when they were not impartial," Marquez says...

Donaire wins a lopsided match

MANILA, Philippines - In a match that disappointed the spectators and even, the Filipino fighter, Nonito Donaire Jr. routed his Argentinian foe,  Omar Narvaez, to keep the WBC/WBO bantamweight belt.

Experts say it was a shameful act of dishonor as Narvaez blemished the legendary history of Argentine champions like Carlos Monzon, Pascual Perez, Victor Galindez and Sergio Martinez in losing a one-sided decision to WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Nonito Donaire Jr. without intending to engage at the Theater in Madison Square Garden, New York City, last Saturday night (yesterday morning, Manila)...

Not just once, but twice.

“I’m a little bit scared of that fight,” Roach told www.boxingscene.com at his famous Wild Card Gym in Los Angeles.
