With a new mindset and a desire to not allow a winner to be determined by the judges, Pacquiao will get his revenge and end this storied rivalry with a fifth-round technical knockout. Almost every fight has started with an opening round consisting of both men feeling each other out, but that will not be the case in this fight.
With so much experience against each other, these men will walk to the center of the ring and start exchanging shots. Marquez will put up a valiant fight for the first few rounds, but a relentless assault from Pac-Man will have JMM on his heels until Pacquiao starts landing the devastating shots in the middle rounds.
With so much focus on a knockout for both men, Marquez is liable to lean in for a punch and find himself down for the count. While the round is debatable, there is little doubt Pac-Man will be aiming for a KO. Enjoy our content? Join our newsletter to get the latest in sports news delivered straight to your inbox!

Given Pacquiao's aggressive fighting style, Marquez has demonstrated time and time again that he can disrupt the Filipino's rhythm with some big knock-back counter-punches.
On top of that, Marquez has beefed up leading up to the fight and looks as strong as he ever has. Of course, that could backfire, as he may not be as quick against the lightning-fast Pacquiao. Both encounters have been very close to call, and there are some who believe Marquez won at least one of those fights. Still, Pacquiao has only gotten better as he's aged and has now developed a solid counter-punching game as well.
He's the most complete fighter he's ever been and I honestly believe no one, not even Floyd Mayweather Jr.
