I am only kidding about Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez meeting for the one-hundredth time obviously, but the fact that they are meeting for the fourth, and hopefully final time, is no laughing matter.
In fact, I feel that this monotonous matchup amounts to cruel and unusual punishment for boxing fans who have been yearning for a Pacquiao-Mayweather superfight for the past few years.
You may be asking why am I being so cynical about the prospect of Pacquiao and Marquez duking it out one last time to determine who really is the better boxer of these two surefire Hall of Famers.
Although Pacquiao has been awarded the decision in two of their previous three fights (the other being ruled a draw), many fight pundits feel that a case could be made that Marquez won each time.
None of these reasons has me geeked for this fight however.
The fact that they have met "like 100 times" without a definitive conclusion tells me that we should expect more of the same when they meet in a few weeks.
Who am I picking in Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV?
That’s easy, the same boxer who I picked previously. I have gotten the winner right (Pacquiao) most of the time but I have gotten how he’s going to win (via knockout) wrong each time.
Since I’m no quitter, I’ll reach again for a Pacquiao victory by knockout (by round nine).
But I can surely tell you that my fight prediction will not send significant shock waves across the sports betting world!

Let’s get ready to rumble fight fans. Frankly speaking, hoping the fourth clash of Pacman and El Dinamita will end the big question in the mind of most boxing fans.
