Strange, people say Pacquiao has slowed down since then. But that was the slowest I can remember him looking.
Great fight, the #1 and #2 P4P both near their primes. Thanks for posting the highlight vid Philla, it beats HBO's. This fight was better than the first, as Pacquiao had noticeably improved
Let's have a third fight, just to settle it once and for all. Ok say Pac does beast JMM, you ****ing well know JMM aint going without a fight. Not against Pacquiao. Not after what Morales just did... He wants to be The Greatest Mexican. Beat the Mexicutioner, become it. Make it.
Damn, didn't remember him being so skinny before the fight... hard to believe he gave Marquez hell through 12 intensive rounds.
Both Pacquiao vs. Marquez fights were great! As far as a "robbery" in the second fight... it doesn't matter to me who won at the end, it was a great fight and both guys moved on to bigger and better things.
Pacquiao looked in better shape for Marquez II than he did for Barrera II. It was a really great fight, I had Marquez edging it with his superior work down the stretch. We need the 3rd fight - the two best boxers in the world against each other. What's not to like?
Yeah, I feel like Pac was a bit gassed later in the fight, especially in the last 2 rounds. I think I have the fight a draw at the moment...
I'm not sure about gassed - he was made to miss a lot more than he usually does and was hit a lot more by hard shots too. Most fighters are able to land jabs on Pacquiao reasonably easily but not many get through with a significant % of their power shots. Marquez landed rights and uppercuts all night, and also left hooks too, which is rare. Marquez is just the best fighter that Pacquiao has ever been in with and has a style that he struggles with. It's to Pacquiao's enormous credit that he's basically 50-50 with him in those two fights.
