Not to mention that the flurry that was so called cut caused by Manny was caused by a headbutt http://youtu.be/nqlw3Ago0KU?t=21m47s Pay attention to 21:47-21:49 clear headbutt then blood But but but Manny was dominating him and JMM beaten into a bloody pulp was ready to go This content is protected Pac Fan Boys lucky I haven't been able to make gifs for whatever reason recently, I see them coming out of the woodwork trying to put their spin on the ko lately
IF you didn't see Juan's gameplan in the 4th fight maybe you need to stop watching Manny & pay attention to "the other guy".
Marquez meant to get hit with these This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
I don't think JMM purposefully let himself be hit, but he was obviously more willing to be hit in order to land the shots he wanted to land. That, and Pac looked a helluva lot sharper than he did in III.
atsch its clear as a bell the difference, in fight 3 Juan still believed boxing would be enough to do the trick. in fight 4, Juan wasnt moving around as much which allowed Manny to look good in spots but its also what put Manny on his ass and had his wife and promoter shook while his fans overloaded the local suicide hotlines
If you read all of Juan's assessment of the fight, he says he was boxing smart, using intelligence - essentially the same thing he's done in the past. No where has he said that he was 'taking more chances' or allowing Manny to get off more then usual. In fact he's given Pacquiao credit for doing good in the fight - read his recent analysis on ESPN. What your doing is trying to take any credit away from Pacquiao. Your guy won, be happy , but it was a highly competitive fight - one that he was losing up until the end.
Losing by what a single point? get the **** out of here with this garbage, Juan said going in, he had to do something different which he did he sat down on his shots more took more risk and the gamble paid off. I am happy he won, he deserved to have an ending like that. Pac was doing good in the fight nobody said he wasnt Manny started allot quicker as soon as that bell rang he met Juan in the middle of the ring and did not wait he started to get that jab going right away. However the whole Manny was winning, that too is up for debate but seriously you saying Manny was winning up until the end or Juan was losing come be serious a single point does mean ****, and if you score that sixth well who was winning... I mean the end means up to the ref waves it off, meaning Juan had two 10-8 rounds :hi:
ESPN just did an interview with Marquez where the watched the fight and he broke it down. Here is what he had to say about the KO:
I don't think so, but he surely had to put himself more at risk to land with the power and authority he wanted. Pac was fully motivated that night and gave it his all. JMM knew outboxing Pac wouldn't guarantee him a win, so he outboxed him with the intent of landing hard counters. Still boxed smart, but put an emphasis on power counters looking for a KO instead of tagging Pac and avoiding damage.
Marquez took some big shots early, realized he could take them, and stood in the pocket waiting for his chance.
