    I was going to post the exact same thing. He really picked off a lot more shots than usual.

    Also, I noticed how well Marquez dealt with the left hand. Pac loops his "straight" left these days, almost like an overhand left every time. Marquez got underneath it almost every time, and countered brilliantly. As opposed to Morales, who tried to slip it, and because of the looping nature of the left - he got nailed continuously.

    Both looked fantastic defensively.

    that was a badass left straight punch while marquez is coming in. i'm amazed that he didn't go down with that shot.

    Yea I was suprise at how well PAC was taking some solid shots I always thought his chin was a bit shaky, but last night he shook off some kills shots man.

    JMM got a great chin and impressive recovery time that hook that droped him was ****ing massive. Short and you can see PAC really putting his body behide that punch I really thought It was going to be over.

    He got hit whenever he lost his composure and attacked wildly. Whenever he stayed with his tactics, his defense looked sharp.

    PacMan sure blocked a lot of JMM's punches...with his FACE.
