Probably the most satisfying victory in boxing for me...

[No Contest]

I remember seeing him for the first time in his 5th pro fight and he was really good even then. In my mind Marquez should have been right there with Barrera and Morales, but somehow he was shut out. It was great to see him win last night and I hope he doesn't try and hold on too long.

Well shit he just beat p4pking by ko...he's not close to done yet. I give him a good few more years if he's dedicated. We all know it takes alot more once you get up in age.

I think he is probably pretty close to done. He was having a lot of trouble dealing with Pac's speed advantage. He was fortunate that it took Pac awhile to figure that out, mostly due, I think, to memories of the counter-punching ability of Marquez in past fights. So Pac was throwing a lot of straight lefts bailing out, in no position to throw combinations.
Once he realized that the counters were coming slower, Pac got brave and took it to Marquez. And he got caught because he got cocky. Marquez is still very ring smart, and if he isn't what he once was, he's not shot. There's a lot of guys he can still beat but they'll be harder fights than he needs to be in at his age.

Marquez is one of the all time great Mexican fighters. He's up there..I don't think it can be argued. Thoroughly deserved victory

[Beanflicker]

Agreed 100%.

I remember the sentiment before their 3rd fight. People felt Manny had improved way too much and he was going to run over JMM that time around. JMM fought a spectacular fight and got robbed. Great to see him FINALLY get the big win he deserves.

[Spicoli]

It really was and he is something special. I remember first seeing him pick apart Sanchez leon at the Forum and he oozed 'one to watch'. Nothing in the world tatse as good as redemption for a fighter who never had anything giving too him. The literal definition of professional and class.

[Dia bando]

This is a point with big punchers, what goes around comes around it was a devastating KO lose for
Pacman, he may well not be the same fighter after this KO.
JMM deserves praise for his victory, Pac was sparked out for 2 minuets I feel that's the end of the road for him.

It was satisfying, I always thought JMM won all the fights against Manny and the fact that he had to chase and fight him at welterweight demonstrates he is greater than EM and MAB.
