Many thought it was the first two fights between Marquez and Pacquiao, showing that Marquez had a chance over Pacquiao because those fights were years ago and at lighter weights and earlier points of Pacman's career. However, it was revealed the only illusion tied to that was the belief that Marquez couldn't do it again. The real illusion was Pacquiao's dominating aura, Marquez did ever so well to show old dogs can't learn new tricks and that Pacquiao's wins over the big boys at Welterweight may be a bit glossier than some Pacquiao fans wouldn't be inclined to admit before, myself included. Really disappointing stuff from Manny, but no way he won that fight, it was the clearest result of the 3. Marquez boxed wonderfully, I expected him to be knocked out when it was time to trade with Manny but there was none of that, he made it look easy. Kudos.
The win was much clearer then part 2... Pac even knew he didn't win for the first time he didn't raise his hand... and knew he let his people down.
He knows deep down its bollocks and he got a gift. You can tell from his reaction at the bell and when it was announced he won he thought he lost. It's that simple.
