Come on Pac was really hurt. But what amazes me more is pac's recuperating power. And i think all hell broke loose for Marg when he got hurt by Pac's body shot (which is eerily similar to what happened to barrera.)
Yes it hurt him and he admitted it. First time iv seen him hurt in a long time. I thought for a sec he was gonna take a knee. Glad he murdered plasterito
Pac was hurt. After that he was much more cautious and clinical. He barely let Margarito tough him again. Pac seems to like to test his opponent's power which is pretty stupid if you ask me. I guess he just loves the brawl.
his left hand got tangled to the rope when he was about to punch back at that time which made the impression that he was about to go down. watch the replay.
he got hurt with a couple of those body shots, he even admitted to that, but to say that that he got hurt enough to take a knee is a stretch.
actually, pac was also crouching to duck under some of margarito's punches while pinned on the ropes. maybe to some (you included) it gave the impression that pac was about to take a knee. and yes, pac did get hurt by a body shot and he himself admitted it. that will certainly happen when a guy 17 lbs larger and 5 inches taller pins you to the ropes and bears down on you. pac did take the body shot and recuperated immediately to mount his own counter-attack which resulted in him even winning that round.
I'm not sure if it was badly, at least not the way some are making it out to be. Saved by the bell? If I recall, a few seconds later Pacquiao was on the offensive and had Margo backing up again.
