Mayweather VS Marquez

I'm looking forward to the Floyd Mayweather JR VS Juan Manuel Marquez fight tonight. Both fighters weighed in yestreday with Mayweather four pounds heavier than the smaller Marquez who is fighting at the welterweight limit for the first time. Maywether suprisngly weighed two pounds heavier than the agreed catch weight limit of 144 lbs. Because of this Marquez will benefit financially due to the weight penalties added to the contract in case either fighter came in too heavy.

Marquez will go into the fight as the underdog despite Mayweather's near two year absence from the ring. Floyd JR retired with his undefeated fight record intact after defeating Ricky Hatton 21 months ago. The winner will surely meet who ever emerges victorious from the Manny Pacquiao VS Miguel Cotto matchup which takes place on November 14th in a superfight that will decide who is boxing's pound for pound best.
