So, you’ve got your Mayweather tickets and you’ve booked the hotel room in Vegas. The question now remains: Who’s gonna win? Some say Mayweather, some say Marquez, but one thing’s for sure: It’s gonna be one heck of a fight, and could well go the distance. Mayweather owns the most rapid fists in the fight game, but Marquez has the most accurate. Mayweather has the moves, the power and the big single punch to knock people out, even good boxers and clever old dogs like Marquez. But Marquez is not without movement – in his case the movement of an intelligent fighter who anticipates his opponent’s game-plan on the fly and then effectively sticks a spanner in the works with devastating effect. Mayweather is not without his own skills in that department though; blessed with raw strength and a sinuous upper body flexibility, Mayweather is able to pull off the most amazing dodges while sizing up his foe’s weak spots and degree of tiredness. He seems to actually gain energy as the fight goes on, and this is a nightmare for tiring opponents. When you buy tickets to Mayweather Marquez, you buy tickets to the unknown. That’s why Mayweather v. Marquez tickets are selling so fast now. Just like those Pacquiao v. Cotto tickets everyone’s talking about, this fight is really an open question mark, and both sides are well represented.

Some are saying that Mayweather is suffering from “ring rust”, even more so now the fight has been postponed. It will be almost two years since he fought a real fight when he finally goes up against the mighty Mexican, and Marquez, wily fox that he is, will use this for all it’s worth against him, switching his own game plan and upping the energy level at unexpected moments, for which he is famous. One thing is for sure; Marquez better have some serious intent behind those blows, because Mayweather’s “Pretty Boy” nickname is nothing to do with his willingness to stand up and take a punch. He can roll with the dangerous swingers, tuck his chin down deep to avoid the jabs and uppercuts, and all the while those eyes and that brain never stop working. Marquez knows all this and more, of course, but whether this will help him as the fight goes on is anybody’s guess right now. I just wanna grab my Mayweather v. Marquez tickets and be there when the bell goes and these top dogs step up!

Marquez is also the master of the counter punch. he can hurt with both hands, as Juan Diaz discovered to his surprise at the end of their fight earlier this year. Diaz was knocked out by a vicious Marquez combo, a trademark series of disorienting smashes that saw him on the canvass before he even knew he was there. Marquez is confident of a victory in Vegas, but Mayweather will not hear of it. And then there are the critics, those who insist that this is a mere stop-gap for Mayweather before he finally gets the big one against Pacman. Then there are those who think it will be quite another story; a showdown not between Mayweather and Pacman but between Marquez and Pacquiao. Either way, it will be a hell of a thing. Marquez seems like the underdog, but there are a few variables in his favor. One is the rib injury sustained by Mayweather that caused this fight to be postponed. A rib injury can be a recurring thing if not allowed time to heal, and only nature will show us if this fight has been re-scheduled correctly. Another is the fact that the two fight on Mexican Independence Day; Vegas will be packed with Marquez’ fellow countrymen, and they’ll all be wanting their boy to get a piece of the Pretty Boy.  Add it all up and you will see that this fight really is a trip into the unknown. Marquez is no underdog, and Mayweather is probably aware of that. Grab your Marquez Mayweather tickets and watch a night of boxing you will quite simply never forget.
