December 8th is shaping up to be a terrific night of boxing both on sides of the Atlantic. In the early hours of Sunday morning, Manny Pacquiao will look across the ring at Juan Manuel Marquez for the fourth time. The pair’s first three meetings have been surrounded in both controversy and awe-inspiring action, and fans worldwide expect the same at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Closer to home, Matchroom will hope the cancellation of Lee Purdy and Carson Jones will not dampen the spirit of fans, who will instead see Darren Barker and Kerry Hope at the top of the bill, while John Ryder will take on Eammon O’Kane in a battle of the undefeated prospects.
