Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez IV - Saturday night fight/chat thread

[Chino]

I thought the fight could have been stopped later on if it continued due to JuanMa's broken nose or JuanMa could have rested for a round or two and continued to box smart but Manny wanted to steal the round with the last 10 seconds of each round and he got carelss and opened himself for a counterpunch right that destroyed that chin. Manny didn't even put his hands in front of him as he went down face first. All we heard was a big KABOOM!

Having rewatched it, Marquez was better than I initially thought. Manny Pac always scares to death with his movement and quite frankly Marquez is a far cooler customer than most of us watching him fight. I watched it live as just pure nerves. On rewatching you can sit down calm knowing that you've seen the moves all before.

I score it.
Round 1 - Pac 10-9
Round 2 - Pac 10-9
Round 3 - Marquez 10-8
Round 4 - Marquez 10-9
Round 5 - Pac 10-9
Round 6 - Fight ends by

Manny wanted to please, got sloppy and ultimately that led to him making a fatal mistake and you cannot do that with Marquez. It really was stupid of Pac to go mental at the end of the round like that. There was no need. Just kamikaze and the kind of thing we chided Hatton for doing.

Shocked at this news. Pac Man is finished no need for any further fights.
