Manny Pacquiao fights Juan Manuel Marquez at fight night in Las Vegas with the frenetically followed Filipino looking to end the trilogy the victor. Join us for live updates and blog of Pacquaio vs Marquez III.

The loyalty of the sold out MGM Grand Garden Arena will be with the ‘Pacman’, who has a bigger following around the world than Justin Bieber with teenage girls.

Marquez will be fighting the best pound-for-pound boxer of the era (with only Floyd Mayweather able to argue differently – and that’s another story) for the third time.

The first fight between the two occured in 2004, a fight that went to a controversial decision which resulted in a draw, scored 115–110 for Márquez, 115–110 for Pacquiao, and 113–113 each.

The second fight, a rematch called “Unfinished Business” was won by Pacquiao in a split decision, with the decisive factor a third round knockdown to Marquez, floored by a Pacquiao left hook.

The judges’ scores were 115–112 for Márquez, 15–112 for Pacquiao and 114–113 for Pacquiao.

The final in the trilogy has been previewed by The Roar – read the analysis and prediction and the story of the pair here.
