Pacquiao vs. Marquez Fight Time: Complete Listing for Saturdays Fight Action
Manny Pacquiao will hit the ring to take on Juan Manuel Marquez for the third time in his career, and it will live up to the hype.
The first time these two fought was in 2004, and it ended in a controversial draw. The second time around, in 2008, Pacquiao won by a split decision.
Despite the scorecards, Marquez states he has beaten Pacquiao twice, which isn't sitting well with Pac-Man.
Marquez's arrogance has amped up the fight even more, and it has motivated Pacquiao to deliver a big win.
Only one pound separates these two boxers, and the most anticipated fight of 2011 will not disappoint.
With that said, let's take a look at the complete listing for Saturday's fight.

Keys to a Marquez Victory
Marquez has to start strong in the early rounds. If he finds himself in a hole, it won't end well. The key for Marquez is to surprise Pacquiao in the first few rounds and avoid being manhandled by Pacquiao in the first few rounds.
If Marquez can put Pacquiao in an uncomfortable place by rocking him in the early rounds, it will greatly benefit him. The 38-year-old better be in excellent condition, or Pacquiao will make him pay in the later rounds.
Keys to a Pacquiao Victory
Pacquiao cannot get into trouble in the early going, and he must make his presence known in the early rounds. If he can get under Marquez's skin in the first few rounds, it will make all the difference in the world.
Knockdowns were the difference maker in the their previous fights, which is why Pacquiao has to get after Marquez right from the start.
Prediction
I have Pacquiao winning by way of a knockout in the eighth round. It's been two years since he knocked out anyone else, but he is focused to take down Marquez once and for all.
Pacquiao has the size advantage, is faster, more powerful and will not be denied a victory on Saturday night.
An impressive victory for Pacquiao would hopefully lead to what all boxing fans want—Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
