He landed, threw more was brining the pressure, and while JMM landed the bigger shots. It was a close fight, but Manny seemed like the guy that could have gone 15 rounds. They both fought great, and I honestly felt this was Manny's most complete performance, it's just his evolution to becoming more skilled did compromise him a little as Nacho predicted.
I thought also what came into play is that Manny couldn't hurt Marquez the way he had in the past because of the increased weight. Marquez carried the weight much better than anticipated and looked more solid at this weight than he had in his last few fights. It was very surprising to me.
