Round 1 shows Gabi was winning... but his body was not able to absorb more punishment from the loss lbs...Comment
-
When you have almost even punch output landed... You should give the fights to the one who hits harder & cleaner & doing more damage!!Comment

Pacquiao has already won against the best in his division (Barrera, Morales, Marquez)!
Of all the 3 opponents Marquez is the most difficult fight for him~~~
But, I think Eric Morales is better than Marquez if they fight~~~
I want to see Eric Morales vs Juan Manuel Marquez...
This will be going to be a good fight... I don't think Morales is done~~~
Pacquiao vs Valero in Macau next!!! before moving up to 135 lbs...Comment

It was as close a fight between top elites as it could get.
Pac and Marquez are both almost identical in their pedigree that only one point separated them.Comment

its safe to say that if marquez won this fight then you cant consider barrera and morales as "past their prime" excuse. he gave a tough fight for 34. oh yeah just to prove that age is not a factor, nate campbell whooped on a young juan diaz. hmm?
i still feel that it would have been 114-113 for pacquiao nonetheless.Comment
