Naw that punch caused his brain to smack his skull causing a concussion. PAC was out on his feet. The face plant didn't help, but I doubt he would've recovered

Marquez defo sacrificed spped for power and its a gamble that almost backfired. Just before the KO he was behind on the cards, marked up cut and looking gassed. Pac saw blood rushed in and Marquez was able to time him. Had Pac had a better boxing brain/trainer he would have eased off and continue to dominate with in and out boxing.

Up until that punch it was the worst Ive seen JMM look againt Pac. Age was catching up physically but his power was much improved almost suspicioulsy so.

No, not at all. Some pacfans are saying that. They'd be wrong. I'm not.

He would have landed it either way I believe. It was just much more devastating because of the trip also. Just because a trip happened doesn't take away from it, but it is also no reason to ignore it when analyzing things. I honestly believe I am one of the most unbiased people on this site, maybe any site. I just see what I see from a technical stand point and say it, my guy, your guy, it don't matter to me.

This whole foot thing is just funny... But anywho.

I think that shot lands regardless of where Pac steps. He was walking right into it as he stepped forward.

That is why I have thought for many years that Pac can be timed. He steps in with the jab, and when he throws the left, he brings his left foot up, he squares up. I think he does that to get really turned on his right hook, which I have thought for awhile is his hardest punch.
If you notice in this last fight, the right hook is really absent from his arsenal, because he is dodging the right of Marquez as he throws the left hand, but then Pac landed that very hard right in the fifth and was looking for it again.. When their feet got tangled, I'm sure there was some effect on Pac's balance, but he was stepping up with is left foot, putting him right in front of that right hand.

If he eased off he could have have the fight stopped in the later rounds or JuanMa could have come back like he did on the first fight where he was also bleeding badly from the start.

Here's a video of what he focused on during his training, and that is Pacquiao's typical jab jab followed by a straight left.
