It's time! Oh, wait, that's a catchphrase from something else going on tonight...
But it also applies to the third meeting between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, as both men have been looking forward to it for different reasons. Pac-Man wants to shut the door on this rivalry and silence his doubters, while JMM seeks vindication for a draw and a close loss, both of which he believes he won.
Pacquiao has come a long way since the first two fights, turning into a more complete (and physically bigger) champion. Marquez will hope to rely on the knowledge that he's given the Filipino ace more problems than anyone in recent memory.
As The Roots once said, do you want more? Well, the pay-per-view has Timothy Bradley, looking to stay on track for his own possible showdown with Pacquiao, and rising star Mike Alvarado squaring off with one-time Amir Khan conqueror Breidis Prescott. That's a pretty decent night of fisticuffs.
So by all means, gather your buddies and chip in for the PPV broadcast. But if you can't for whatever reason, you can still follow all the action as we recap all the televised fights live on this site. Hit our home page after 9 pm tonight and look for constantly updated posts for each fight as they happen.
Pacquiao. Marquez. Together for the third and final time. See you later tonight!
