Fight Credential
Power
Pacquiao was long a devastating force, knocking out bigger opponents thanks to his power, among other attributes. But time has taken its toll. The third fight showed that Marquez gained resilience at a higher weight, and Pacquiao followed up that bout with a performance against Timothy Bradley Jr. that showed the PacMan of old is a distant memory. He still has his speed, but he no longer has that gunpowder-in-his-gloves explosiveness. Punching power will become an advantage Saturday only if there's a strategy to back it up over the course of the fight.
Advantage: Even
