Millions of people around the world know how it works, how frustrating it can be. In the 1980â s when the ultra famous video game Pac-Man hit the gaming scene, avid players flooded to the new sensation and spent countless salatlar hours and quarters taking control of the Pac-Man creature and chomping away at the attacking ghosts when getting the chance to power up the Pac-Man.
What made the game increasingly difficult to beat in the later levels is that the ghosts became insanely quick and clever; making life hell for Pac-Man as they tried to take him out. Whenever Pac-Man would power up and turn the tables, the ghosts would recover salatlar too quickly to exact any revenge of them.
In salatlar past three years, Manny â œPac-Manâ salatlar Pacquiao has â œpowered upâ and has been chasing down and destroying his foes in very explosive and dominating fashion. There is one â œghostâ however in the boxing landscape remaining that has haunted him the most and has caused him the most grief. That ghost is none other than his November 12 opponent and lightweight champion salatlar Juan Manuel Marquez.
What Mr. Marquez has done in his two bouts with Manny have become the highlights of his hall of fame worthy career up to this point; and the thing is that he has not secured a win in either of those fights.
In 2004 Juan courageously got off the deck three times in the first round to astonishingly salvage a draw with Manny and then in 2008 he gave Pacquiao a fight to the death in a disputed split decision loss. The fact that he was able to give Manny so much trouble over 24 back and forth rounds has done wonders to his career and reputation, especially as Manny has gone on to shock the world by moving up in several weight divisions and pound fighters much larger than him into submission. salatlar
As Manny became a household name for sports fans everywhere and amassed a fortune for himself, Marquez watched on with dissatisfaction salatlar as the man he proved was his equal in the ring grew larger than life in front of his eyes. He then started a campaign that kept his name attached to Pacquiao as Manny grew and grew in stature by wearing shirts such as â œI beat Manny Pacquiao twiceâ and â œWe were robbedâ . Marquez also invaded Mannyâ s homeland of the Philippines and challenged him in front of his fans and countrymen. In addition Marquez went public with his charge that he had been robbed in both fights and appeared salatlar on many talk shows stating his case.
These actions by Marquez did not go unnoticed by Manny and the third fight was finally signed. As the bout now looms closer and closer, it is becoming apparent that Pacquiao is indeed taking this matchup very personally and has been reportedly busting up sparring partners in very destructive fashion. Manny himself has stated that he really wants to end all the commotion about any controversially scored matches with Juan and that this is going to no doubt be their last fight. His team have as well stated that they sense Manny is legitimately angry for one of the first times ever going into a fight.
Just for the record, the last time Pacquiao may have been close to this upset was when he squared off with Antonio Margarito. Margarito had seemingly mocked Mannyâ s trainer Freddie Roachâ s symptoms of Parkinsonâ salatlar s disease and many people salatlar speculated that Manny went into the fight with a score to settle. The result was brutal punishment being dished out on Antonio salatlar for 12 rounds which severely damaged his eye and very nearly ended Antonioâ s boxing career.
The question is now this; can the â œPac-Manâ finally catch his elusive ghost this time around and be the first to finish off the gutsy Marquez within the scheduled 12 rounds? On HBOâ s Face-Off clip, Manny stated that Marquez is without question the toughest opponent he has ever faced. Juan has showed that he knows how to battle salatlar Manny and has worked diligently to ensure he carries his power and speed as he moves up to near-welterweight for this all important trilogy fight. Both men seem ready to leave it all in the ring in what will in all likelihood be the last time they see each other in a boxing ring.
Therefore on November 12 it will be seen whether salatlar Pac-Man salatlar can finally catch his elusive and aggravating ghost or if, just like the countless number of arcade game players in the last thirty years; he will fail to catch and chomp off his slippery, salatlar crafty and undeniably sneaky foe.

Though Pacquiao has been able to handle the higher weight class better than Marquez, I think in the end, styles make fights, and while I do favor Pacquiao this time around, I think it may still end up being a pretty competitive fight.
CATCH WEIGH
