Glen Davis predicted Juan Manuel Marquez would beat Manny Pacquiao before the boxers fought each other Saturday night. Sure enough, Marquez knocked out Pacquiao in the sixth round. The victory was sweet for Marquez, who had gone 0-2-1 against Pacquiao in their previous matches. Some Magic players watched the fight together at the team hotel. "I had a hint Marquez was going to win because the fights have been just too close and he had so much to fight for," Davis said. "Pacquiao's a great fighter, and he's won some really good battles with him. But I just felt like it was Marquez's turn." Orlando Sentinel

Often twice a day over five months, six days a week, Bynum took this one healthy offseason that his always-failing knees finally gave him, and he bent them forward to put his nose to the grindstone. Howard can have the "Superman" theme; Bynum will take the "Rocky" music. Orange County Register
