Now it’s been settled. Manny Pacquiao won against Juan Manuel Marquez by split decision. Both fighters were at their best but the decisive factor (I think) was when Manny sent Marquez kissing the canvass on the 3rd round. If he didn’t, it would have gone the other way, or maybe another draw. Anyway, a win is a win and I’m not complaining..

English: Good fight guys! Hats off to you both! Congratulations Manny! You make us proud!
Tagalog: Bagsak si Marquez bwahahahahaha! Talo ka noh! Buti nga sayo! Nye nye nye!
FLASHBACK! FLASHBACK! FLASHBACK!

I’ve got one word for you, Juan Manuel Marquez:
PWN3D!!
Pero bakit pakiramdam ko, hindi pa ito ang katapusan?…

tapos na yan kasi aakyat na ng weight division si Manny. Kaso bad move for his career yun kasi malalaki na makakalaban nya.

i’m a big pacquiao fan but i saw marquez ahead by 3 rounds at the final bell. inspite of the knockdown, marquez won most of the remaining rounds. he totally dominated pac at the 8th and schooled him at 2, 5, 6, 7, and 12. round 1 was close but marquez landed the hardest shot before the closing so i gave it to him. round 9 was also close but i gave it to marquez because of his effective counterpunching. i gave round 11 to pacquiao because he was the agressor but still its a very close fight, most observers gave it to marquez though. i understand where claims that pacquiao received a gift decision are coming from. one thing for sure, pacman’s win was not convincing. the marquez saga remains unfinished business. there should be a third fight either at 130 or at 135 before pacquiao looks for other opponents. pacquiao wag mong takbuhan si marquez, lumaban ka uli hehehe!

@ maldito - hindi lang napkin bro. baka pati feminine wash pa kamo! hahahaha!
@ ms. landlord - may point ka. dahil yan naman ang talagang balak ng kampo ni pacman. di ba nga next fight nya is with diaz yata? pero sa isang banda, sa ipinakita (or hindi pala naipakita) ni pacman sa laban nya with marquez, hindi maalis sa karamihan ang tanong na: sino ba talaga sa dalawa ang mas magaling? hindi kasi convincing ang pagkakapanalo. baka magkaron ng part 3? abangan na lang natin.
@ kwentongwalangkwenta - i wasnt able to watch the whole fight. puro highlights lang. but based on what ive read, medyo alanganin nga ang pagkakapanalo. i think we havent seen the last of it. i just hope, na pag nagkaron ng 3rd fight, ma-settle na sana, convincingly! and of course i will be rooting for manny

I watched the whole fight and I can say that it was really Manny’s win although it really is a very close fight. Maraming beses na nahilo si Marquez sa suntok ni Manny pero sa dami ng suntok ni Marquez konti lang ang nakahilo kay many kung ikukumpara sa pagkahilo ni Marquez. Pero bilib din ako kay marquez kasi asintado siya sumuntok, laging tumatama kay manny yung mga suntok nya. Pero pag dating sa punching power super lamang si Manny.

ms. landlord, pacquiao was hurt four or five times during the fight.watch round eight and see how marquez was punching pacman at will. pacquiao could do nothing but run. i saw marquez hurt three times including the knockdown in round 3 and the second knockdown right before the bell (but was not ruled a knockdown by bayless.) the third one was in round ten with marquez getting impaled with an unorthodox overhand left from pacman hehe.

@ kwentongwalangkwenta:
yun na nga eh 4 na beses lang nasaktan si Manny kay Marquez. Ang sabi ko naman po ay kung ikukumpara mo kung gano kadaming hilo at knock down nung dalawa eh mas marami si Marquez, ni wala ngang knock down si Manny eh puro hilo lang.
