Marquez (50-4-1, 37 KOs), who is moving up two weight divisions, is a heavy underdog. According to the MGM sports book, Mayweather (39-0, 25 KOs) is a 4-1 favorite, which is huge by boxing odds standards. No matter, said Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer. “He’s a man on a mission,” he said of Marquez at Wednesday’s final news conference. Marquez doesn’t seem offended that he’s such a significant ‘dog. “I think that life is full of surprises,” Marquez said through an interpreter. “This is what motivates me. This is what makes me train hard. When I wake up in the morning, it makes me want to train harder, run faster and longer. These are the kind of fights that motivate me. I’m going to prove everybody wrong.” But seeing Marquez pose for photos with Mayweather after the news conference illustrated that he is clearly the smaller man. Mayweather is also a very fast fighter with superb defense. Marquez and his team know the fight is an uphill battle, but they sound confident.

I agree with the golden boy CEO I believe Marquez is a man on a mission he wants to win this fight.  Many think this fight is going to be a fast fight with Mayweather knocking out Marquez early, however I don’t see that happening.  I see this fight going all 12 rounds with Mayweather winning in the end in a great fight for the ages.  With that said if I was betting the fight I wouldn’t bet Mayweather the reason being the moneyline for Mayweather is way too high for a fight of this magnitude.  The lines telling you Mayweather is going to destroy Marquez, but like I said I don’t think thats going to happen.  So if I was betting this fight I’d put a very small wager on Marquez and even if Mayweather wins the fight and I lose my small wager on Marquez atleast hopefully I would of saw one of the best fights in the past 5 years and it would of all been worth it. ENJOY!
