For how many rounds did Pacquiao hold back and take it easy on Margarito, as I heard that the HBO presenters apparently commented on a number of occasions something along the lines of: "Pacquiao is just carrying Margarito now, he's pulling his punches, holding back his power, trying not to hurt him any more."
I felt he pulled his punches in the 11th round and obviously the 12th. They should've stopped it in the 11th it was ridiculous the punishment he was taking...
BS Pacquiao was hitting him with bombs in the 11th, he didn't want to take any risks in the 12th.
BS those punches werent **** compared to the single right hook that landed on marg at the end of the tenth. that was the same kind of power mosley hit marg with but the only difference was pac only threw that right hook once while mosley went crazy. pac decided to let him recover and then attack with less than powerful combination punches. margarito was staggered from being staggered for crying out loud. im telling you if pac had continued hitting marg with that kind of shot with his feet planted he would of khtfo
he was gonna get ktfo. near the end of the tenth round when pac staggered marg with a single right hook pac held back his punches and let him recover and decided not to do a mosley and blitzkrieg him with power punches. marg would of been ko'd in that round so he took it easy on him the last two rounds.

last 2 rounds, I think they realized marg wasn't gonna get KTFO.

Honestly, I felt that in the mid rounds he could've stopped Margarito. In the 11th during the clinch he told Margie that he would carry him the rest of the way, that was clear..

I am not sure with the 11th round, but he definitely held back on the 12th.
