Head First!

There are two varied meanings to this post...

I just saw an awesome game between Pacquiao and Marquez -- they were two gladiators trying to outwit each other in boxing held at MGM Arena this morning.  Pacquiao tasted the first knock-down during the third round by what experts called "A punch that I didn't see."  However, as Filipinos were known for its resiliency, Pacquiao gave a tremendous left straight in the next round (is that a straight? I got to see the tape again) to the face of Marquez that connected and boom! the score was about even.  After that round, it was all Pacquiao -- who gave a tremendous beating on Marquez and was leading in all judges score cards.

Then came the sixth round, Pacquaio was again annihilating Marquez throughout the round until the bell rang signalling that there were only 10 seconds left.  As the former was pursuing the latter, Marquez made an out of this word side-step and position himself to throw that well-prepared punch under the guard of Pacquiao.  Sadly, Pacquiao fell HEAD FIRST!

Only if Manny Pacquiao used his HEAD FIRST by not attacking Marquez during the last 3 seconds it would have been a different story.

Dirty Tricks of Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao

I just got these information from the Philboxing and You Tube and I found out evidence(s) of how Marquez cheated Pacquaio in their latest trilogy.  Marquez kept on whining how, again, for the nth he lost to Pacquiao.  Well he deserved to lose. He stepped on Manny's foot six times (click links on Philboxing and You Tube).  Well, in my opinion, the hardest shot that Marquez made was the head butt to Pacquiao on the10th round. Marquez sucks!

Manny Pacquiao Did It Again!

I just watched the game of Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez (trilogy) and the two players are too conscious on exchanging punches.  The game was close and so was the right eye of Marquez.  Naturally, Pacquiao wins by Majority Decision.  I was not truly impressed with the decision however, the fact that he was the defending champion proved it all.  Again, to Manny Pacquiao, congratulations!

What happened to Juan's face?

How could Juan Manuel Marquez win?

Pacquiao thrown 578 punches connecting 176 while Marquez had it 436 connecting 138. Pacquiao threw 304 jabs connecting 59 to Marquez's 182 with 38 connects. Pacquiao threw 274 power punches connecting 117 while Marquez threw 254 with 100 connecting.To everyone debating pts: as a challenger, you have to upstage champ to win. Close fights always go to title holder. you do the math: pacman(reigning WBO welterweight champion)/marquez(challenger). Comments from Mr. Gil Virtudazo

Juan Manuel Marquez should not have waited for Manny to come in. He did not carry the fight. He was not the aggressor. He was swinging badly from 9 to 12 rounds. His corner made him to believe that he was leading, while in fact he was only credited with 10 points each for 2nd, 5th, 6th and 7th rounds. Try to review the video and try to mute the video. 116-112 for Manny Pacquiao is a convincing score. What was lacking was the total domination of the fight by Pacquiao tha's why viewers were not satisfied of the outcome. Comments from Ms. Luz Aridien after the fight.

People expected that Manny would throw even the kitchen sink but it did not happen. The truth is Manny won but not convincingly. Congrats Manny!
