I'm showing the UFC card on Fox from 5-7 pm Pacific Time. The Pac ppv starts at 6 pm PT so watching UFC should only conflict with the first boxing undercard. The Pac fight shouldn't start until 8pm PT at the earliest.

This is the first comment I've seen which confirms my observation for their last fight. For all the talk of Marquez the counter-puncher, I thought he did his best work getting off first in that fight. He was in fact the aggressor a decent amount of the time and looked damn good at it. Whether getting off first or counter-punching, what Marquez needs to do most is follow up relentlessly and without delay after getting in the hard right.

Mayweather carried out that strategy to perfection against Marquez and made Marquez look old, slow, awkward and outclassed in the process. I don't think this conflicts with the observation above because in Pac-JMM III, Pac was there to be attacked as he looked for his own attack. Mayweather, on the other hand, laid back and forced Marquez to chase him which is totally outside the Marquez skillset. Trouble is, the Pacman has never fought that way and it's not clear he ever could.
