There are many boxing analysts around, but the 13 years old Alden “The Kid” Chodash may very well be one of the youngest boxing aficionado in town. Alden is a member of The Boxing Writers Association Of America, host of FightFan.com's Alden Chodash Show and a regular contributor to FightFan.com, Cyberboxingzone.com, EastSideBoxing.com, among others.

His weekly Alden "The Kid" Chodash Boxing Show at Youtube is filled with boxing analysis that is remarkable for his age. Though some of his opinion misses the target big time, he usually balances it out with positives. So although he was wrong in calling Pacquiao a mediocre technical boxer, he nonetheless labeled Manny a tremendous puncher.

Transcript: "It was great. Everything that I expected, the only thing that didn't play out was the Marquez victory but he was only a point away. And uh, it exceeded expectations, uh, once again as is in many of Marquez and Pacquiao's bout."

"They're perfect for each other, uh, probably the right thing for them not take a third fight, because uh, at the end of their career they'll just keep deteriorating each other. And uh, that's probably for the best sake. It's a lot different that Rafael Marquez reasoning in his great rivalry with Israel Vasquez in which he doesn't know to stop, the uh, rivalry. But good for both of them, it was a great performance, it was a great night for boxing."

"Really, he's (Manny Pacquiao) a mediocre (technical) fighter down the scale, but he is such a tremendous puncher, and he knows how to apply his power so effectively that he can bedevil such technical, technically brilliant fighter such as Juan Manuel Marquez."

"Well, I think it took him (Juan Manuel Marquez), well, first of all let me just say that I wouldn't think that he would have made it past the third round, if only for the fact that he had 10 seconds to recover, but it took him the 4th round to fully recover from that punch. It was a tremendous shot and it came from a couple of left hands that started the trouble for him to begin with."

"Marquez, he just fought a perfect fight, I'm being truthful, I think he did enough to win the fight. But it was extremely close and the punching power of Manny Pacquiao was kept him from victory however. Because when Marquez started to pick it up, uh, Manny Pacquiao catch him with a shot that hurt him, and uh, would startle Marquez over completely."

"I think he (Pacquiao) became more creative in ways to try to get to his left hands, I think that is really is the difference. Not really with his right, not like he has became a two handed puncher, it's just that a great fight with Marquez just didn't give the chance to show Pacquiao's right hand."

"Marquez landed more shots that in the first fight, but I think, Manny knows how to pull back, he's not a tremendous defensive fighter, but uh, he does enough, to keep Marquez, from hurting him too much."

"I think Marquez is all-round the best of all the three (Mexican fighters). Technically speaking, I think he would have beaten Morales and Barrera, both at their best. But I'm not sure that he is going down to be the best, I'm not sure he is as accomplished as much as uh, Morales and Barrera, although I think he's all-around the better boxer than the both of them."
