Pacquiao/Marquez IV – the (hopefully) definitive fight
- When Manny Pacquiao enters the ring on Saturday night against Juan Manuel Marquez, it will mark the fourth time these two men have fought each other. The previous three fights have been largely inconclusive, though Pacquiao won two of the three (the third ending in a draw). Both sides say, that if either man wins this fight decisively they will be considered the “winner” of the series.
- This match features two distinctly opposite styles of boxing. Pacquiao is an aggressive fighter who likes to hit early and often. Marquez is a much more patient boxer, who is known for his counterpunch (the hit that comes immediately after your opponent has thrown a punch.
- While this fight will be highly competitive, the one everybody is waiting to see is Pacquiao vs Flloyd Mayweather. There have been reports that the two sides may be coming closer and closer to an agreement, but it still remains to be seen if the fight, which would essentially be the biggest thing to happen to boxing since Tyson bit an ear, will actually happen.
Knicks cool Heat again
- When the New York Knicks defeated the Miami Heat by 20 points on November 2nd a lot of people had a lot of excuses for the defending champs. The season had just started, they weren't ready yet, the Knicks were playing their home opener, Carmelo Anthony just played too well, and the list goes on.
- Fast forward to last night in Game 2 of the season series, this time in Miami with the Knicks playing minus Anthony, who hurt his finger the previous night diving for a loose ball. The result was the same, a 20-point win for the Knicks, who lead the Eastern Conference at 14-4 and will have another marquee game on Saturday in Chicago against the Bulls.
- The Knicks had a monster game from Ray Felton who scored 27 points and had 7 assists and Lebron James, who was 1 assist away from a triple-double with 31 points 10 rebounds and 9 assists, couldn't get enough help from his teammates.
