Pacquiao isn't an amateur and it was off to see him have a little 'bow and arrow' lunging with the jab like that
No doubt. Manny was already walking into a perfect shot, but losing his balance at the last second like that made it unreal. Marquez had already lined him up perfectly and committed to the punch, the fact that Pac tripped over his lead is only further to his credit! It's not hard to imagine the effect being magnified by that kind of lapse, Marquez was already almost beside him by the time he turning the shot over, Manny didn't see it to begin with.
